Default New Pics Added: Closeup C7 Grand Turismo Rear Splitter

Not necessarily feeling the extended spoiler but the splitter should have come from the factory exactly like this. Exhaust tips are improved as well.










The Grill Looks Similar to Those on the Mules Which Appeared Like a Vent was Covered in Black Camo

I think they have an EXCELLENT custom application there. There are and will be others that various people will like more and less. Variety of choices is good in a lot of instances.

Exhaust tips look good and word is they may be GMPP items someday... choices are good indeed!



And yeah, not fan of the spoiler... looks like it's from a funny car.

The linear look to the exhaust tips fit the rear end design. I like them. The other? Meh!

thanks for the better pix!
spoiler is
diffuser/fascia is
make it affordable and it will sell like hotcakes.
exhaust, probably too much $ for the slight improvement.
just one opinion.

Did it have a satin wrap or a satin clear coat? I notice the stripe is glossy.

I would be concerned about the rear fender scoops. I recall Chevy saying that they spent a lot of time getting the angle of the slats just right. maybe that was because they are flush. Maybe with the back edge being raised it will get plenty of airflow.

Of course, it is all for a virtual racing game so I guess none of it has to work in the real world.

And I'm talking about the diffuser. Like others, I just don't get the spoiler.

DO NOT say you are one of the clever wags who has snarked about the stock front "retainer". Because IF you are...

Triple Zoinks on the rear spoiler!! As Willie Wonka once said: "For some things in life, there are no words."

That spoiler would be cool if it changed angle based on speed

The "arch over" strut is similar to touring car wings, though much more elegant.


Or as on the Aventador J:


The endplates make it look really weird though, giving it a "bushy eyebrows" look. It should be elevated, like on most other cars.

That's what everyone is saying Guibo. Kinda obvious.

Not everyone. An NHRA funny car's wing really doesn't look anything like that.

Now where did I see something like this before?

Oh, now I remember.



Interesting, just not for me. Looks cosmetic only. Maybe help keep the rear facia cleaner.
