Man that's a depressing tune.


Blackout kit would be like putting a bag over a butter face.

Or wait untill you actually see it before making a dumb statement on something you haven't seen?

Really? Hmmm please show me the actual car not pictures and renderings. I love the rear from the artist drawings and I think it will be awesome when people actually see it live. But please show me the real car...Where have you been?

I think a change over kit that puts C7 taillights on a C6 would be a hit. Would up date the cars for a better look.

Same apprehensions that preceded the C5 and the C6. I can recall the outcry against the C5 rear end, yet at the end of the line everyone loved the car and were complaining about the lack of pop-up headlights on the C6.

I recall some statement from a GM engineer some years ago when he was asked which was his favorite Vette and he replied the most recent one. As I recall each series has been an improvement over the previous series.

I agree, it's time for some friendly Corvette loving banter on the C7 forum.

A few mods could help it a little bit...

* Separate the tail lights.

* Clean up the rear bumper by removing (filling in) the horizonal groove (rear bumper ditch) and the rear bumper vents.

I went to a truck stop today to get those cool chrome pinup girl cut outs to put on my new C7 tail lights. Who says I am to old to be hip?

I think the taillights are one of the best features of the c7. Just too many people dont like change.

I like this better then the predictions. However, I think what you just did here was not really a mod but rather a "replace your bumper".
