For 2800 bucks I would stay with the stock rear, I myself do like the C7 rear the way it is from GM. Change is good.

I hope GM voids your warranty if you buy a NEW C7 and make it look old and outdated!!!

It is all a matter of opinion and I like the way GM intended it to be.

I have to agree the new tailights are growing on me and this conversion is a bit of a snoozefest IMO. However, IF I were to insist on "round" tailights, I MUCH prefer this version......
