Possibly the silliest question ever

[slvrsrfr]

You know those red plastic covers at the bottom of the door panels? What are they for? Are they reflectors or are there lights under there?

 

[XLR8]

I think they're simply reflectors... a safety device to warn drivers if your Vette is stalled on side of a dark road - with the door open.

Yep, XLR8 got it correct!! Plain ole' reflectors -- every little bit of attention to you in the dark is good!!

 

[slvrsrfr]

Thank you both! Glad I asked before I tried taking them off. My luck, I would have cracked them only find out there was nothing underneath.

Thanks again.

I like your avatar. ..and your C5!

Yes they are just reflectors...so if you open your door in traffic, they can see it as they rip it off the hinges.

My Dad used to say: "The only stupid question is the one you don't ask".

I could have sworn there is an adjustment bolt for the window under the reflector


but the silliest question is " should I buy and install the "MGP Corvette caliper covers ? "

OK. That's just wrong...

Some C5 owners have installed LEDs in them.

Look on corvetteforum.com in the C5 General or Technical sections.
Poster posted pics as well.

MGP Caliper covers - good or no good? - SmokinVette.com Forums

They're not to my taste but to each his own.

I'm curious VETTEX2, the poster's question wasn't about caliper covers so why bring them into the discussion? Wouldn't it be better to start a separate discussion of them in a new thread?

Ah, regardless, I see you started a seperate thread so... thank you for your cooperation.

I also noticed in your earlier post you mentioned a "window adjustment" underneath the relectors, but I'm not sure if you were joking (hence the wink smilie). Is this true? Is there something located beneath the reflectors to allow easy access for window adjustments? Please elaborate. Would be good information to know if that's the case.
