leave the pedals as is, yellow is sooo tacky.

Are those designed to fit the stock pedal box? Looks like they do

Yes they fit the pedal box...

No idea where they are from, but they look like Lotus Elise tail lights

hmmmmm that is a pitty you dont know where they are comming from.. the look interesting!

Ok the ones you were asking about, I have no clue where the are from.


The one I showed you, those tail lights are from a Lotus Elise.

Verry verry interesting.... ill take them into consideration with Jeff..

Ill let you know here what it will be...

Do they really stick out that far?

 

[phantomjock]

So - Are you going to recess new buckets - or flog those?

Could be useful to someone not that far along on a rear end mod...
Just saying...

Cheers - Jim

No the buckets will stay the same.. I like it that the lights have bit more space

Not trying to be an ass but them sticking out like that reminded me of this

yeah.. everybody got his own taste.. i like them a lot..

hopefully yours is faster and you dont have to look at them on my rear a lot..

This IS the reason why I love Vettemod.

We can modify our cars the way we want and it all a matter of own taste.

Cant please everybody.

Ans this is what I love about hotrodding,
LOL

I like that Ferrari look too.

Hey why not modify the rear of the Vette incorporating the same kind of mesh into the rear like the Hennesy and Ferrari did???

Cool chrome corvette lettering would stand out in the black mesh like the Ferrari.
The did that to get the air out of the rear.

Theres always air pressure create in there anyway.

With that ferrari it isnt mesh.. it is some kind of carbon plate..

i think that hennesy and those kind of cars have it cause they have engine in the back and have to get rid of the heat trough that..

True, but like I said earlier, theres a lot of air that get trapped in the rear end.
It flows from under the car and pass thru suspension and end up in the back of the tail lights area.
The rear end of the fibreglass body acts like a parachute.

Heres a great example integrating mesh in the rear end of the car I saw a while ago.
That would decrease the pressure created in the back of the car at high speed.

Hi michel,

i just looked at the rear for some time but i dont think putting mesh in the rear will look good for a c3..



i believe you directly that it will improve airflow but for design reasons i dont think its an option.. Maybe my custom diffuser will improve airflow as well

and that example you show.. i know that car very well.. that is the anvil Mustang, made by steve strope..

that car is beyond cool.. But in a mustang has some kind of grill original..

see here a movie with commentary of steve strope during sema.

Yup thats the Anvil car allright.
Rear suspension is realy cool too.

And I'm just throwing ideas out there.
Tought it looked realy cool on Ferraris and this Mustang too.
