They fixed the tail lights but there's still just so much wrong with the car it wouldn't change my mind. All those sharp creases and lines to nowhere just make a mess of it. It's like when BMW replaced the classic looking Z3 with the ugly Z4. It's got a ducks *** and caved in door panels, mixed up lines so bad they almost make me want to puke.

If you want to really **** off a c7 guy, tell him you love his new Camaro.

Very nice. I'll be getting some rockers here myself, although I'm going to forgo the ZR1 front splitter, and no plans to body paint mine either. Flat black should be fine. Haven't decided on the cup wheels, but they do look nice on yours.

Damn, this paired with C7 widebooty and I'd trade in my GS towards it. Stock trapezoid lights just don't do it for me.

The ZR1 front splitter is a pain. It hits everything. But I like the look. Thanks!
