Default Chrome C7 in Tempe AZ.

Was next to it at Gas Station. He was sitting in it so I didn't want to annoy him, I just clicked a couple quick pics. Is it someone here one the Forum? Pictures don't do it justice, it was an awesome site!

Wow, I can't imagine what it's like to drive that one around. My LRG gets quite enough attention for me. That chrome C7 probably draws crowds.

Oh man, that's pretty terrible.

I was in South Beach last weekend on vacation and saw this same effect, but with gold chrome on a 458 Italia, and blue chrome on an Mercedes SLK convertible.

I think this effect looks gaudy/terrible on any car.

Yea, the bright Sun reflecting off the back of that Car with a Semi Truck coming up behind you when you're stopped in Traffic.

That will work out well.

That's the only C7 I've seen where the chrome strip in the front grill actually looks good on the car.

An 18 year old whiz kid owns that one !

On another note, not so bright idea ( pun intended ) as if he's ever involved in a accident , whether at fault or not, could be blame for it . Simply either because the reflection was blinding or one could claim they didn't see the C7 ..

Several states have outlawed full chrome wraps like that , personally I like it

And Baseline.

It's at the Cornerstone Car Wash. I first passed going down Baseline and noticed it where they dry the cars off ( I'm not sure if it had went though the wash ). I didn't have time to turn around because I was trying to make the Wells Fargo before they closed. I made my deposit and was headed back and it was still there but at pumps so I turned in quickly. That also happens to be where I wash my Vette and other cars so all the guys know me there. Next time I'm in I'm gonna ask them about that car. I'm curious if it goes though the Auto Wash.
