Good old entrepreneurial spirit.
And they don't look near as bad as some are making them out to do.
I wouldn't put them on my C7. But I've seens gads of cosmetic mods done to all generations of vette that look a hell of a lot worse than this. All you have to do is take a walk thru your next local car show.

Perhaps GM will offer an option for the C7 that includes body colored vents. My guess is that having those body colored would go a long way to helping some people feel comfortable with the way the vents stick out.
Me personally, I really like how it all looks and can't wait to see it in person.

If you want round tail lights buy a C6.

or a 70 camaro. I would think that the c6 crowd that dislikes the new c7 rear lights should look back over time and notice how many times the camaro rear lights matched the corvette, way way more than what they are trying to compare today. Take a look at the 70 camaro's rear lights.

I wonder how much the Ferrari guys fought when they from 4 round tail lights to just 2 on the new F12.
Wonder if the 458 guys give the F12 guys crap about their lights and vice versa

RACER: Yeah, I did. Every day I scan the titles of the posts. I looked again today after finding this article at Jalopnik and cruised the titles once more. Not seeing anything resembling "rear end" or "tail light mod" I posted it.
Guess I missed it. But DID ask the mods to delete it immediately (within a minute) after I was informed.
If this is the sort of stuff that gets your socks in a knot that's pretty pathetic and I must assume you were born perfect and never made any mistakes in your life.

It's telling how they call it "NOSTALGIC TAIL KIT FOR C7 CORVETTE" and feature the C6 emblem in their ad.
I love the actual C7 design. It is the current (and future) Corvette.
I'll keep my C5 for nostalgia sake...and buy a C7 to experience/appreciate/respect the design of the next generation(s) of Corvette.
Just my 2 cents.

Ohhh WOW...it's the new Nissrolet GTRette. It looks AWESOME!!!
Seriously people...some of you need to let it go about the tail lights on the C7. Move on and GET OVER IT.

I like the C7 just the way it is. I'll take one in Laguna blue with black wheels please.
