Sweet Jeebus! :eek: Now that is a profile. That would scare the heck out of me if I saw it in my rearview. I doubt many of the turbo conversions guys have that problem though :cool:

Now you're trying to tell me that if I have an otherwise stock C4 and replace my nose emblem with the two little "teardrops" (which you can hardly see in the picture), that I'm trying to pass my 'Vette off as a Callaway. Boy is that stretching it! :rolleyes:

I don't think anyone here including me said that if you put teardrops on your hood you're trying to pass your Vette off as a Callaway. That discussion was about the full Aerobody kit.

I had another thought. If you really want them they are only teardrop shaped pieces of plastic with a pin extending from the bottom that goes into the hole in the hood. They can be secured with adhesive and/or a nut designed for plastic on the backside. Keep in mind the holes are offset so the corrresponding pin needs to be offset on the teardrop. How hard could it be to make a set or have a plastic manufacturer make you a set?

What do you mean that the holes are offset? I don't understand that. :confused:

The holes on the hood emblem are not centered, one side is further from the center than the other side. So when the teardrops are installed in place of the emblem, they look a little off-center.

When I was buying mine, I though it was a flaw in the workmanship, but once I saw other callaways (I have some pictures of a yellow Speedster should anyone want to see them), I noticed they were all the same. And after looking at the hood emblem and how it attached to the hood, you will understand why this happens. It's not very noticeable and they it looks great.

Yeah, what Luigi said! :D The hold down pins in the teardrops are also offset to account for this but I don't think they quite line up still. In other words, if you look at the back of a pair of teardrops, the pin is closer to the front of one and closer to the rear of the other.

O.K. I understand now. I wonder why they did it that way.

I'm about to give up on getting the teardrops. So I'm contemplating other ideas. One thought that I had was to remove the emblem, cut the circle off and re-install just the "flags". I think that might make the hood look a little wider, which is what I think the teardrops do. Whaddaya think?

At ther very least, it will give the car a slightly different look than everybody elses.
