if you mean this surround ,called fairings;

I got mine from here; http://www.greenwoodvette.com/options.htm
Fair warning. In order to install them correctly you must re-bend the arm coming off the windshield wiper motor that has the post for mounting to swings. Look under the grill in the firewall to look at it. It is 1/4 plate steel and required a lot of heat to get it to bend and some serious pressure. I have access to a full metal shop and it was still hard to do it right. After heating it needs to be quenched to maintain the proper hardness as well. It turned out not to be a basic job.
Lining up the fairings to get a proper glue in using the 5 minute setting urethane is not for the faint of heart or inexperienced...it also requires 3 people that have some experience working with such stuff to hold in while setting. I think every-one needs to know what they are getting into by trying to install the fairings.

That's an ex wife for ya. My g/f thinks her Kia is cooler than my Vette, or any Vette for that matter. She told me the Vette would go a hundred times before she'd ever ditch her car. I told her I'd only have to ditch her once, forget the other 99 times. Telling her my ultimate goal was to pass this on to our son seemed to smooth things over. For now.
