Hard not to keep staring at those 4 big cannon.
Can't tell on the mirrors.

OK, this has nothing to do with Rick Conti but I am going to ask a question I haven't heard anyone else ask.
Look closely at this picture, specifically at the transaxle area below the pipes under the car. Is that the same transaxle you have on your C6? It doesn't look like my '05. Is it maybe like your later model Vette? Mine has an anti-roll bar that is really obvious and this one doesn't. BTW, I can't really tell much about it otherwise than it has 7+ white LED-looking backup lights in the center of the tailights. CLICK on the bar above the pic to see it much larger.

I just keep hopin' those round taillights are actually round taillights. LED's are fine, too.

I hope the headlights look better than that rendering for the OP. And I hope they get rid of that vent on the hood. Both kill the looks of the car. But yes, this is just speculation, who knows what it will really look like.

It lookd like it has 3 round tail lights on each side with the middle one covered by the diagonal strip. The diagonal strip appears to be applied over the other swirly camo.

"The rear lights are not even close to what has been depicted, they will have a connecting U shape of some sort, also a lot of L.E.D. and some reflector material back there as well."
Another possibility is that the "reflector" material or light housing is being hidden from view and the camouflage cover just wasn't adequate to hide that area between the lights. Interesting observation though, Racer X and you may be right after all.

The C7 needs to be or have a Widebody option from the get go....most folks who have or had a widebody will not go to a skinny car in my opinion....I wont!
