Some wheels and a C7 taillight conversion kit, and you have yourself a new C7...

You are all caught up in the C7 frenzy. Just wait a few weeks and it will pass.

Actually look a hell of a lot better than the C7 whose roof is totally confused as to what it wants to be. Actually, the more I think about it the C7 looks like it was designed by a committee, of sixth graders.

That angle looks like it fits. IIRC there were some pics that did not fit to well.

Not for me.

Looks like it would create really bad blind spots.

Default DIY wdw pillars?

started looking at the C7 pics and others and wondered -just for fun - how hard would it be to make the rear wdw pillars myself. So i had some time off alone today and started to play with masking tape and paper templates to see how it would look...just checking to see if it is doable...and i think it can be done fairly easy..check out the pics..i prolly got few more revisions but i think im going in the right direction--maybe.... Saturday i plan on doing a cardboard template and painting it to see how it looks..... SO...yei or a nei?
