Default C6 forum member who owns a C6 wants C7 tail lights. What do you think?

One of our Corvette forum members and C6 owner wants to put C7 tail lights on his C6. What do you guys think? I think he already put C7 front headlights on his C6 . Well I found these 2 pictures anyways . Have seen pictures of round C7 tail lights on a C7 but never seen pictures of C7 tail lights on a C6.

My parents taught me to not say anything if you don't have something nice to say! I love the C6 though because it doesn't look like any other car. C7 blends in more with other cars.

I'm not one for mods but actually looks pretty good, front and rear but I would never do it to my car.

I thought it looks good too but I like the C6 the way it came from the factory completely factory stock! My favorite two looking C6'S below!Happy New Year!



IF THIS 2013 427 TR VERT WAS AVAILABLE WITH A AUTOMATIC A6 I WOULD HAVE PURCHASED ONE IN 2013 AND PROBABLY STILL HAVE IT TODAY!

C7 drivers should want C6 taillights.

Why the hell would you want to do that ? If you want C7 lights that bad, buy a C7.

I think I just threw up in my mouth looking at C7 tail lights on a 6. Im not buying any more new Vettes after the C7 rear design. After owning a new C4, C5 and now C6 GS my 22 year run is over. Hopefully the C8 will look like a Corvette from behind once again.

I like the headlights, but not the tail lights.

I'm in this camp! I actually think the C6 looks better with C7 headlights and the C7 looks better with C6 tail lights. I might go for the C6 with slightly modified C7 tail lights

like your taste in C6's.................... although adding chrome Zr1 wheels really makes the TR vert look good..........

although I may be biased...................

pass on the C7 lights on a C6 platform............... both headlights or taillights..........

You will get the C7 square tail light whiners crying, but they look good on either car.

The C7 rear lights should be round. I do like the C7 front headlights on the C6.

But they don't belong on a C6. As ridiculous as putting Ferrari tail lights on a C6.
