Looks good - I was there with you last week when I did mine - I had all the same stuff yanked off and I really like the difference!

Oics just don't do them justice - but once they are on and in your Vette it really is awesome

Thanks,Matt

Although the mod is a bit entailed, it really was not difficult.

Looks awesome -- perhaps I should have read the other thread, but...

What did this cost and how long did it take you???
