This might be the way to win best C5 in show at next year's Nats. I have to admit I quite like them - apart from the weight and the price that is !

A bit too gimmicky for my liking. At least Lambo doors go straight up. these are like ladybird wings and don't seem to offer any great advantage.

West Coast Corvette are a little pricy aren't they! Anyone tried these:

Nice but expensive....... Is it whole new doors or not?

It costs $2,200 which is a lot for an installation kit. It appears that the original doors are retained and the whole process is reversable back to stock. Installation would mean more ongoing work as you would have to polish the underneath of your doors!!

Take a look at what the US owners are saying.
