Paint the back ?

I am not in love with the rear view of the C7, it seems that big black fascia panel was an afterthought. Has anyone painted that rear panel body color ? Pics would be good. Thanks, Bob

Do a search - it's been done and there are pics on the forum. Fair warning - the general consensus is painting is a MISTAKE.

Painting it the color of the car would be the worst "MISTAKE" ever. The car looks exotic from the rear with the black.
