I'm voting for not looking good. Save that for the Caddy's with the wire rims and white walls.

But to each there own...

Ack, there is an 82-84 Camaro around here that has those. In a word, AAAAACCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!
They look terrible! I think you can get them out of a JC Whitney, BUT DON'T (they are like $40).

I would like to vote no on wheel opening chrome eyebrows. It is my opinion but I hate those things! Every time I see them I want to take a pair of pliers and yank that $hit off.

As for the cost, I have no idea. Whatever it is it is too much.

No flame, just my opinion.

Car: 89 IROC
Engine: Yes
Transmission: That, too.
I also vote no. Not a good look for our cars, leave that stuff for the stickered Civics and Accord low riders.
