There's a member in the C7 Forum now that seems to be pretty good, vankenn. Maybe send him a PM and ask him if he will do it.

Here's a 5 min chop for you. Pretty sure you would need to get new fenders and bumper which wouldn't be worth it IMO.

Don't agree with the "if you want to look like a C7, then go buy one" comments. Taking parts from other models and adapting them to your car is what hot rodders have been doing for decades.

Those lights look pretty cool on the C6.

I really like the headlights of a C7, that's abt it, it's not worth it to buy a whole new car. Also new headlights are shared by Viper & Ferrari. I was thinking the only update the C6 needs are the headlights.

Some aftermarket company will make the C7 headlight-look fit into a C6 light housing. All you really have to do is change the light bezel shape. I would try it out too because the C7 lightbar running light is much better looking than the yellow one we currently have.

I think someone should just design a aftermarket C6 headlight housing with those long C7 LED running lights on the side, I'll be first to get one.

Actually it is more like Corvette is sharing the lights from Ferrari and Viper

Headlights remind me of a 2004 Nissan 350Z I used to own. I like both the C6 and C7 headlights. They fit the car they are attached to.

I really like that look and will consider getting it if they ever do come out. Great refreshing of the look of the C6.
