Check with the C6 crowd, I know some have painted their cars, should give you an idea how it will look on a C7.

It can't be that difficult to do with a rattle can.

Personally I like the CF A pillars. (yeah, I know, no opinion asked on whether he should do this).

Wrap em yourself. If you don't like the look you can quickly undo it.

^^^ Personally, I think that looks VERY good to have the color carry all the way thru.

Some of the forum vendors sell replacement pillar trim pre-painted to match the car. If I had a coupe, I think I'd do this.

That's my Velocity Yellow 15' Z-51 A-8!!!! It has the lexan see-thru roof. The(yellow) roof sides and the(black) bar between the removable roof and rear glass are both wrapped in vinyl. The A pillars came from RPI who painted them. The fender guards & side skirts also came from them painted VY. The vinyl came from Tapeworks Graphics, who also has wheel striping kits available. (15" x 3' of Yellow) (15" x 4' of black)

If the roof was all yellow, I think the bar between top and rear window should be left in yellow.
