For people who like the more narrow body that's cool...but don't call the C7 body "the wide body" ...all I'm saying. We all know what wide body stands for and that is not 1 inch wider on a C7.
We all have different tastes...wide...narrow...they all look good to someone.

So you're going to trade efficiencies in cooling and aerodynamics with that new back end? There's a reason those taillight vents are there...
I like the look, but I am curious as to the effects that will have on the car's drag. In addition, I would think it would increase the amount of heat buildup at the back end.

it will be hard for you to drive by me in any of my cars in a stock c7
I like that design
needs some modern LED tails to make it work and it has to vent the cooling ducts to trans and diff.
makes me excited to see a new Z06! its going to rip! I won't buy till we get a Z06 either

Yeah, if they can body match the lower fascia I would like it more. I don't know why so many cars over the last decade have had the black/grey plastic on the back and sides. Is it that much more to paint the dang things body color? It screams tupperware to me. I'm not picking on the C7 in particular as I'm sure it's an awesome car. It's just a minor annoyance I have with a lot of cars with this.
