Default C7 Photoshop: Legacy B-Pillars and body-colored inserts

Hi all-

I decided to do some quick Photoshopping of the new C7, to see what it would look like if GM maintained some more of the Corvette's historical design language: strong B-Pillars, and weak / non-existant C-Pillars. Also, in order to reduce the visual clutter, I made the body inserts body-colored.

All non-rude feedback appreciated!

looks lousy and now dated. Time to give it a rest, and enjoy the new look of the car. its a winner just the way it is. The c2 doesnt look like the c3, why cant the c7 look different than the c6? Sometimes tradition, just means old.

It makes the A pillars stick out like a sore thumb. If you are going that route, the carbon fiber roof becomes another unnecessary distraction.

The rest is reminiscent of C6 parts swappers. Some like color keyed accent pieces and swap them out. Others like the contrast because there is always something black remaining. Both approaches can look good so to each his own.

The quarter window just needs to be reshaped is all...too GTRish IMO.
