Default They are magnets setup to repel other cars before you hit them

next step is force fields.

The fishmouth is a disaster. It's still a pig with lipstick.

Default I've got a photo at home that has the new front plate bracket "mounted"...

not actually mounted, but someone holding it up against the grill so you can see what it will look like. Will post the pic again when I get home.

Sorry that I deleted that one. I thought y'all saw my post about that before.

Default Sweetheart, that's EXACTLY what "blinking" IS!!! See---->

Euphemism, "To 'blink:' A slight, but perceptible, physical indication--as by the <b> <font color="red"> slightest </font> </b> movement of one's eyelid-- that one has chosen to no longer hold fast to a previously inflexible position."

Default That grill w/o a bumper up front is going to be an insurance nightmare....

just imagine smacking a deer....at least the C5 has some substance. The grill is damn flimsy.

Default I said they're real hardware, not photoshopped "highlights."

However, I do not dispute that the driver looks a little goofy!

Default It's not the fishmouth that makes it look bad

The fishmouth can easily be fixed by painting the chrome ring and the licenseplate cross bar.

The problem with the C6 is the weak side lines with no fender flare, the goofy upswooping side line, and really poor wheel design.

Those W12 pictures are photoshopped, those pics have been around a year or more
