That looks like the same car posted the other week in arizona parking lot with the blue and red ones. The reflectors are still missing from the rear bumper. They need to fix it, looks kinda sloppy with the reflectors missing.

I wish they would make a new lower bumper section with no reflectors at all.

I think black will be the best color for the people that dont like the new rear end. Black helps off set the vents and strange shape of the rear bumper trim pieces.

I'm not really liking the C7 yet. It looks alot like a C6 with some tacky cosmetic changes.

They have to have reflectors. DOT requirement.

Black looks nice but the rear is still so so for me. Look at the third pic posted from the top. There is a Camaro with the rear showing. The new c7 rear lights are almost identical to the Camaro there minus the corvette tear drop thing. Looks even more similiar on a black corvette since u can't see the tear drop as much since it blends into the black body color

When I first saw the rear of the Camaro in the far distance behind the vette, I thought it was another C7 in the distance at first

That is my next car! I love the look! Totally sinister. Get some Zaino on it, and... Wow. I always wait for the at least the second model year to buy, but I think the black C7 is stunning, and I really like the rear end. Not as much as I like the front end that slow poke left lane lolligaggers will see coming up on them in their rear view mirrors that says get the **** over. Now. And they will be compelled to comply. I can't wait to own this car!

Maybe thats the reason they extended the black so far up the rear bumper to off set the out of place reflectors.

Maybe will have to do some aftermarket work to remove them. I like it better without the reflectors. It helps reduce the clutter on the rear bumper.



Removed the clutter ^.

The firebird emblems are horrid as are the letters. SO are the guitar hero emblems. the front end from some angles looks so so bad. Did they hire the crossfire hood designer for the hood?

would look much better if the grill bar was also black instead of chrome. i'm sure the aftermarket will have this corrected shortly.

Yep, that chrome trim has GOT to go. A simple fix would be to tape it up and spray it flat black or use a flat black 3/4 or one inch stripe and tape over the chrome. That way it wont cost nothing much to fix it.

The hardest part for me right now is picking a color. I love the Laguna Blue, I like the torch red and now after seeing this, I love the black (always liked black). Decisions decisions...

design looks just too busy...angles everywhere...everywhere. I am really anxious to see this car in person. In picture, I am still so so at best.

The black does look good. But with this new car i think a new bright color would look good. I like torch red, black, and Arctic white... But kinda think the new Laguna Blue or Yellow may be the choice.

We are not seeing a finished product here. Besides the missing reflectors it appears as if the black C7 has an unpainted rear valance as compared to the red car. The black will look killer with the Carbon Flash paint on the bumper.
