Why is that? I bought a coupe not because I couldn't afford a Z06 I bought it cause it looks better plain and simple. Now if you look at the mods you will see everything was brought over from the Z06. The only thing the car is missing is the hideous rear end.

Well I am pulling them off the car tomorrow. I didn't think anything of it when I ordered them. And all I wanted to do was show the car off and it seems this is nothing but a huge pimple or something on my car. So now I am out a couple hundred bucks and I feel like a leper in the corvette community.
