When you think the back end of the C7 couldn't be any worse this comes along!

I am 55 and I said above I liked it. Do not understand the strong negatives. I could see a mild dislike, but wow.

To me, one thing the Corvette needs is some venturis--I know Team Corvette spent quite a lot of time on aero for this car, but I would like to see some serious ground effects. While repainting the bumper doesn't change the aero, at least the C7 looks like it has two large venturi tunnels with this suggested paint change. I think that is pretty cool.

Of course, a new fascia and undertray with some real, enhanced ground effect function that also would look this good would be even better.

Aftermarket???

Basically, any change to the back end is an improvement... I like it.

Don't hate it, but it just looks like what it is ... a somewhat amateurish attempt to improve on an already excellent design. Such mods rarely gain wide acceptance. But, almost every mod appeals to at least a few folks.

IMO.

Though this particular modified back end looks like to me too.

I don't mind it. Those painted wheels are hideous though!!!

What do you think? I definitely think it gives the rear an exotic, clean, look.
