Here's the initial MOD I conceived. The other part of the exterior Mod is "de-Badge" the Stingray figure near the side vent. Thank you Chesapeake Embroidery and sign for taking the time to help me with my madness.

I like the rear idea, but I'm not sold on getting rid of the stingrays on the side. I'll have to keep an eye out for you. It will definitely make yours unique compared to the other AW convertibles in So. MD.

You laugh, but early on, I had several people ask me what kind of car my '05 was.
The subtle "CORVETTE" on the lower right rear end wasn't enough. I can see that a totally de-badged C7 could raise the same question from someone who isn't too sports-car-savvy.

The way I see it, most of the time I am in front others on the road. Hence, the "Stingray". Besides this C7 will make it's mark the way it looks and stands.
My opinion on the stingray figure nest to the vent. It looks like someone went to a local parts store and got a chrome stick on and put on a their to represent something, don't know what. but something, after you see the car without, you will see my point.

I applaud you making the car your own, and i too have had stingray decal lettering on the back at one time. Your decal is too ostentatious for me though, it does not look OEM, something important to me when i mod.

I decided to "De Badge" the rear end and remove the "Corvette" letters, as I was attempting to remove the left over sticky stuff, small part of the paint came up. Is touch paint available yet? The rear end looks better without the corvette lettering, now I need to touch up a small area.

I'm sure everyone have heard the opionion that the rear of this new model is mimicing the tail end of the Camero. That's not the case with me with this MOD.
As far, as the lettering not looking like OEM. That is why I designed them to mimic the arrangement of the tail lights, with the red and black shadow. I am sure one can see the corrolation, if not I enjoy looking back at it as I walk away when it is parked.

Is it not the reason we change up things with our toys so they are personalized. Everyone has known the new model as the "Stingray", how the name came back from the dead sorta speak. Hence my choice to show that.

Oh, BTW--good thing you didn't do this to a Camaro. Check that spelling.
