Steel Blue C7 render...
 
Thought Id share a render I did recently did. Im a big fan of the new C7. I changed quite a bit from the original pic. Added fender flares, ADV1 wheels, new exhaust, color change, lowered, tinted windows, emblem removal, etc... The original can be seen below as well for comparison. Hope everyone enjoys.

I think the car looks better as you have done it -- without the huge black bumpers at the rear. What you should try is to body color the grills around the tail lights. That might be interesting.

The blacked out exhaust is a nice touch! :)

Looks pretty slick! Looks like you have some photoshopping skills.

One picture I've been looking all over for, but cant find, is a picture of a Cyber Grey Metallic Z51, black wheels, and red calipers. I've found one by HRE, but it has their wheels. I'm pretty sure that's what is going on my order sheet, but I'd really like to see a mock up of it.

Would you be opposed to doing a quick shop job of something like that? Or does anyone know of an existing picture of that?

I'm surprised it doesn't exist. I would think it's going to be a pretty popular color combination

I like it better without the horizonal reflectors on the rear bumper.

That does look better. Would it be illegal to remove them?

Frankie2blue 04-28-2013 09:25 AM

Looks great. I hope the ZO6 ends up looking similar to this. The painted rear valance panel to body color is a mod I think we are going to see a lot along with the removal of those ugly Stingray.things.

Glenn Quagmire 04-28-2013 09:36 AM

You've got some talent my friend!

Bill17601 04-28-2013 09:41 AM

Two thumbs up! :thumbs::thumbs:

No crap! Ditch the bicycle reflector tape !

sam90lx 04-28-2013 02:09 PM

Op, nicely done...like someone said, you have talent! Love the color, like a matte SSB.

I think the removal of the Stingray emblems should be pretty easy. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a lot of people remove lettering and emblems from their car simply using heat (whether a blow-dryer or a heat gun). The emblems are usually held on with a rubber-like black glue that becomes liquid at warmer temperatures (not so warm that it damages paint). Then you simply pull the emblem off and wipe off the glue residue.

Fishing line and wax after.

If you simply pry off with fishing line and no heat to loosen things up, do you risk pulling up any paint or leaving a lot of glue??

sam90lx 04-28-2013 03:39 PM

There will be some glue, goo gone and then wax.
