That's what happens when you change the topic and ask about something else in a thread.

I'm guessing the Uugh! was the OP's frame. I'm also guessing that the "Uugh!" was due to the "Uugh!" not reading the thread and seeing the post by the OP that he thanks all for their opinions and he's decided not to get the frame shown in post #1.

Many people look at Post #1 and respond without actually reading the thread and getting the up to the minute stance on the OP.


FYI! He ain't getting it!

^^^^ It's called "getting off topic", so stop it!



Not a fan of the license plate holder.

To each his own, I like mine and the dislike makes mine more unique!

The word "unique" can be be so ambivalent.

Enjoy it. It's your car and you are the modification controller.

I have been using the same style license plate holder since the 70's, I found my first one in the back cargo hole of a C2 conv.

These were at one time a GM option you can find them at Mid America.



They are not as polished as the pic

"Certainly unique, I like that it is in carbon flash as will be the skirts and front splitter. The lines seem to match the C7 style. Is it to over-done, of to exotic looking? Thinking of this one vs. a standard c/f frame. Car will be a 2016 Z51 in blade silver with stinger hood and c/f spoiler/mirrors. and EYT badge chrome bumper strip delete".

Not a fan....

You could also use this one its also made by Altec. It was made exclusively for the C5 but when I traded my C5 for the C6 I just repainted it and it fit the C6 just fine. Im sure this style would also work on the C7.

Six pairs of C6 flags on the rear of the car...looks ridiculous.

So then what do you think about all the C7 logos GM put all over the C7? in the headlamp pods all over the rear window mask and such. Still ridiculous???
