C7 with "Tron" pinstripping...

Not my preference of customization but to each their own I guess. I have seen this on the freeway in Orange County.

Wouldn't want it on my car, but honestly not as bad as I was expecting. Price is way high.

We could add some primary colors to that and call it a Mondrian painting.

The saying goes, "its better not to say anything at all" or you will tarnish the conversation. This is like a BMW onwer who takes off the specific wheels designed for that model and puts on some after market 20's. Destroyed the look of car...

Pinstripes just don't have the same effect on the C7 as they did on earlier gens. Anyone for a game of Tic Tac Toe

I used photoshop to highlight the many creases that I found to be " way too much" months ago

I see where he was going, but it just doesn't "Fit" IMO..

With the wheel wells stripped like that it makes them look too large and funky. One spot I really liked was the rear quarters..
