If I can't find an aftermarket replacement right away, I'll just throw some official GM camo over the back and tell everyone I'm driving a C8 mule.
I had posted this on page 2 of this thread - responses so far has been that members do not care for it. I like the looks as the two round tail lights have been Corvette tradition since 1961. The C4's tried to break that tradition but the C5's corrected it. Even though the rear of the C7 looks nice - to me, it looks more Camero than Vette.

My wife prefers the red calipers...glad I didn't go too feminine on those

Otherwise I prefer the cleaner look of the all white. You might see things differently when you age another four years like I have

Agreed, after reviewing the post it could have been better stated.
But it was not demeaning, nor was it intended to be so. It was more or less intended as an expression of pragmatic sensibilities.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and for that moment in time I forgot that there are many who like the new rear styling.

Nonetheless, as always I endeavor to do better.... stay fair but not always impartial.

Kind Regards,

Matthewelle

K & N is claiming 15-20 HP increase for the prototype air filter they tested on the dyno.
