The ridiculousness of aftermarket C8 addons

[larryd]

I can`t believe it! . Hash marks for the C8 around $250.00cdn in online stores. Universal hash marks on Amazon $20. This is just a few dollars worth of 4X pieces 3 X 14 inch of wrap.
Add your chorus line here but keep to the topic of `ridiculous` pricing for addons and, of course, C8 used prices.

I saw a beautiful woman leaning against a C8 last night, but she was way over priced at $2000 per hour!
Is that off topic?

How many C8 owners paid over MSRP? If C8 owners are happy paying thousands over MSRP, who cares about stripes for $250.....Just sayin....

2 grand ? That`s pretty expensive for a car wash ! On topic .

If one just stays to one section in these Forums,
one would not know that this “ridiculousness” is common
to everything Corvette and not unique to one generation.
It’s why every C-Gen Owner before the C8 washes their
own Corvette too. Just saying ...

I think they throw in the heat shields for that price. Developed by NASA for the ISS...

We like the smooth, sleek lines of our 2005. Every time I looked at adding something, I saw the ridiculous, obscene prices and said no thanks. We did add a mint, used set of chromed wheels and a used $125 Vararam intake. Pay over $600 for that bit of plastic? I don't think so. We bought the car to drive and enjoy and we do. Over 70K miles on it now. Hopefully we will get some more nice, warm sunny days were we can go cruising with the windows down.

As long as people keep pay the ridiculous prices they will keep them ridiculous.

Ditto.

As the joke goes...buy the car. In the long run, it will be cheaper.

I think big boats may be even worse - sail or power.

.... made it to the 12th message

I have been double dipping in ridiculousness
with both Corvettes ( on topic ) and Boats.
Also never let a Plumber/Heating Tech see
what's in the garage before the home repair is done.

If one wants to pay exorbitated prices for add on's, I assume they must want them badly regardless of the price, or money is no object. I for one feel it is being gouged and I don't appreciate being gouged. I say stick it where the sun don't shine.

A C8 remote keyfob cover scam in keeping with the spirit of this thread.
There was a chap on US corvette forum saying that one for a Caddy CT5 would do with some mods for $5 us.
Yes 5 bucks but plus 6-8 bucks ( for Canada) shipping on Ebay and Aliexpress for a nickel item. Seems these guys have caught on to the C8 wagon ripoff and adding extra shipping charges. I finally found one on Aliexpress for $4.50 cdn with free shipping with 40-50 day delivery just in time for winter.
