I don't like the grille at all.

To each their own.

A big NO from me on the grille and the wheels and the rear treatment. I think the factory got it just right.

I wasn't wild about the wheels and I could not see the detail in the grille. Need some stills that show better detail.

Looks like a GTR in the front with that treatment

It looks nice, other than the bumper / grille. Not sold on that part. It looks like the widebody kit that Loma was working on.

I guess I will stand up in the minority. Looks great to me!!! I think the LF on the side of the Vette looks good, but maybe a tad too big or the wrong font. But I guess you chose that font to match the logo in the wheels?

Suggest paint the rear lower fascia to match rest of black accents (matte or glossy) and DONE!!!

Looks really good!!!

Is there any way you can softly/lightly tint the front headlamps?

I like this C7. Very sharp. And the video was very well thought out and put together.

I saw one of these LF cars with 1200miles for sale in Houston for about $87K!

I could not see any details of how they did the front grille.
Did they just black out the body below the grille, or actually install a different grille?

I found a photo on another site. The front grille just looks like black wire mesh.
