Wow these guys can't be serious; it looks real good
Can't believe they would call this bad taste when half their cars are something as bad as chrome wheels on a yellow exterior with red seats

What the hell?
I think it looks great. Admittedly the Grand Sport badge isn't for me, but the paint job itself looks awesome. Might look better with polished aluminum wheels as well, but I'm not a fan of black wheels altogether.

Put my deposit down 1/14, the day after the reveal. Saw Laguna Blue in person at Bloomington Gold and knew it had to have a red gut, white stripe and red hash marks. Took delivery 9/30, the first C7 on Long Island. And now it has to be the first C7 custom painted, with barely 500 miles on the clock!
For those who don't know what a 1996 Grand Sport is, here was the inspiration ...
And, no, it's not the first time I did this. Here's C5 Grand Sport ...

I think it looks better than the C4 version and much better than some of the color combos Ive seen posted.
Don't take the ribbing too seriously OP. Its your car, glad you are having fun with it.

I think it loos great! That white stripe is perfect. Way way nicer than the factory vinyl stripes being offered from the factory.
Not 100% sure of the red hash stripes placement and or shape/size - although I'm pretty sure they look great in person.
Funny if the factory came out with this a lot of the people here snarking would love it.

All things considered, that's a pretty tasteful (and reserved) look IMO. I think it would be better with the stingray logo left in place, but hey that's what personalization is about.

School yard punks never change.....and never learn.
OP, your cars look great! Your devotion to Corvettes has obviously been long standing, with a theme carried out on a number of great looking Vettes. May you enjoy the C7 for a long time.

looks awesome, beat me too it...
I did a C5 replica and the first C6 that was in Corvette Fever back in the day and also a 2006 10 year tribute in a convertible...
This was done differently than I had planned, but I like it!
I have a convertible I am working on

I think the car looks good, while it would not be my choice, it is certainly done tastefully and well. Just must say no to the Grand Sport badge, because it's just not one. Enjoy.
