Default Exclusive Motoring Unveils Laguna Blue C7



It looks like the guys at Exclusive Motoring are at it again. After rolling out that cool Stingray Convertible we covered months ago, the Miami-based shop has cooked up another spin on the C7, this time painted in Laguna Blue Tintcoat.

More on the blog.

Maybe I am missing something, but why is this special?

A shop slapped on some aftermarket wheels and it's news?

Not for me. 20"x21" with rubber band tires just doesn't look right to me. That is just my opinion.

That was my initial reaction as well-I just didn't see anything all that different from other cars. You could order one that color with the yellow calipers and black Z51 wheels and other than the larger wheels/tires on this one wouldn't be much difference. I'm not saying it looks bad, it's just not all that special...I guess since it's NOT a Z51 but has some large wheels/tires that is the point of the mods.

I normally don't like yellow calipers but they are working very well on this car.... Gorgeous. I would love a 1LT that looks like that with a Procharger. No-frills, fast.

I agree with other posters here, it's a pretty picture, but throwing wheels on a car and calling that "modified" or "cooked up" is lame.

The car does look good but I think it would look just as good with stock size wheels and tires on it. I'm surprised at how well the yellow calipers go with the blue color.

If I lowered my car that much I'd be leaving pieces of it all over town!

Sure looks good though!

BFD. Added aftermarket wheels/tires. WTF?? why would they paint a brand new C7 Laguna Blue Tint coat, instead of buying one originally?
