Default Retro-style C-Pillar Panel...worth it?

http://www.mrbodykit.com/bodykits/cpillar/cpillar.htm are they worth getting? i mean for show, but i was wondering if they would tear off the car when hitting 100+MPH? lol...

basically getting something for show. definatly no performance aspect.

i dunno about these, some pics make them look pretty cool, but about 4 weeks ago i saw a yellow mach1 with the pillar scoops painted black, they stuck out so far that from beind it made the car look somewhat goofy.

not sure if they are the exact ones yer looking at, but these looked like they stuck about 5 inches out

seen one set fly off on the freeway. Seen others make it through 130+mph right after a machine car wash. Never know. I think it looks crappy.

also if you decide to get them dont point them up like those in the pics. Get them angled parrallel to the lines on the car like mine or they look retarded.
