Default Your favorite design feature of the Stingray

Amongst of all the threads around dealerships, allocations, orange peel and snow, there are still several that include plenty of awesome pictures of this car (delivery threads, color threads, roadtrip threads, etc).

And while the pullout shots of the whole car are great, I was wondering if you each had a favorite specific visual design feature/accent that you could post a picture of and share with the forum.
  • It could be the four performance exhaust pipes.
  • Maybe a certain image the dash display screen.
  • A shot of the cutouts from the competition seats perhaps.
  • Or a pop of red caliper through chrome wheels.
  • Possibly the engine bay which has been upgrade with fresh covers and caps.

The car itself, to me, looks great from any angle but would love to read and see what specific features make you smile about your C7. Pictures below are not of mine (yet) which has a TPW of this week!!

Especially keen to hear from the modders like glen and jag about which accent they've added gives them the most satisfaction, but the more people that share, the better.

Maybe I'm the only one, but, the visual light show that takes place on the instrument screen and informat screen everytime you get into the new C7 just puts a smile on my face, and, makes me say: "Hello beautiful".

I love the rear quarter panel vents, brings a smile to my face every time I check my side view mirror. The whole NON-Bubble back window area really makes the coupe stand out.

The whole package, it's premium grade eye candy! Look at it sitting there waiting to make me happy!

Front bumper and hood. Although there's nothing style-wise that is bad about the C7. All of it looks great.


Cheers.

The interior. Even with the conservative choice I made of Jet Black, it is so much more attractive (and functional) than my C6 interior.

I love the sharp crease that goes below the cove back across the bottom of the door. That is pure eye candy style.
That, and the new upper greenhouse.

The new headlights look good.

Front to rear - everything's a vast improvement from the last 40 years.

Don't own one yet but I sat in one at the dealer and the view out the windshield made me beleive I was in my old 77. The way the fenders swoop toward the center bulge in the hood. Very

I would say the headlights defiantly the LEDs are pure sex gives the car a (high end) Sports car look

I really love the 3LT kalahari interior. It compliments the LRG exterior so well. It is a pleasure to sit in and at car shows, everyone wants to see it.

Remember the Cadillac commercial that asked, "When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?"

Bam! That's my favorite feature!

The Lime Rock Green's color is indistinguishable in the shade, from direct sunlight, or even under artificial light. In the shade with bright sunlight a few feet away, it's no big deal -just a very dark British racing green. But the other dark colors suffer in the same way.
