I like the upper half of the rear end & definitely the lights. Where would the venting go in the absence of the mascara? Also fuel filler on passenger side vs drivers?

Beautiful artwork but the rear reminds me of a 10 tear old Malibu

Not a fan. I think the forward movement they did changing the rear tail lights to something other than round was a good move. Dont get me wrong, the round tail lights looked good, but theyve moved on and now I am a fan of the new rear. Id like to see a wide body kit for the C7 from you guys similar to what you did for the C6. That will spark my interests to the max.

Interesting but the round tailights is now a passé... so IMHO time to move on. The C7 has evolved and I prefer its current styling.

Looks like you slapped a futuristic C4 rear on there. Not saying the rear can't be improved, but I don't think this is it.

How do you incorporate the reverse lights with that redesign?

I think it looks amazing and you're heading in the right direction! (I would add a spoiler and make the exhaust tips terminate in a semi-circle arrangement and I'm sold!)

I find the lights dated also. The C7 is move angles than curves now and the lights should reflect that. More like the horizontal bars just below the circle lights.

I do really like this car with the non-Z51 spoiler. I think it is a much cleaner look.

Love the wheels. Think the perfectly round tail-lights conflict with the lines of the car, and the red dots around further accentuate that. I see a handful attempts in photoshoppe to bring back the round tail-lights. Personally I think the new design is perfect for this car and doesn't need changing. Now a split back window - I could go for that!

Don't really like it, the lights look goofy.
