I don't have pics but since you asked...NAY! They look like something from the clearance bin at K-Mart.

On some Vettes I've really liked them and on others not-so-much. If you get them, take the extra time to line them up propery. Crooked ones look terrible.

No pics but I'd have to vote with a resounding Nay. Not my cup of tea.

I haven't seen the spears on a Vette in person; only from photos.
I like appearance mods that are different; so I would say yes to spears, but not on my LBM. I'm going for a more understated look with mine.

To each their own but not on my car....EVER! Side spears are a little too 'Pep Boys' IMHO. Maybe search for some pics of jklarkpimp's 'pre-lambo' green C6....I think he had some on then.

Perhaps in S.S. or black chrome? Thought regular chrome looks good on silver or black cars...




I, myself like a little bling...

As much as I like chrome on a Black vette, with mpuzach on this one: "the clearance bin at K-Mart."
