Rule of thumb, if you can buy it at PepBoys don't put it on your car.

I guess I am just an old timer, but I cannot figure out why people want to added all these LED's to the Corvette. I can understand a few small strips in the engine bay so you can light it up at night shows/cruise-ins, but I have seen a lot of C6's with the grill area, wheel wells and coves. Some are even were they change colors or flash in sequence ala Night Rider.
It is your car do as you want, but the C7 draws plenty of attention without adding lights.

Cool for some people, but tacky for me.

I'm concerned that the visualization of such a C7 aberration may stay with me for far to long.
