Hi, Bitty! Love your Avatar.

Well, I do agree here with BitViper. The inherent design cues in the Corvette C5 certainly conform towards more modern, and, sleek flowing lines. However, to each his/her own. Buy and install parts that moves you most!

I tested mine @ 140 and no problems. I think bc our hoods open the oposite way helps the stability and we have two hood latches imo is safe no need for hood pins. Now hondas i see them all the time driving no hood pins and the hood comes opend and smash the winshild.
