Default Does this tail light mod exist?

howdy yall, I'm a C4 guy looking to buy a C7 zr1 when it comes out, does anybody know where I can find a rear tail light housing that replaces the rear lights as per the following image:

im not a polygon hater, i love the c7, and id do this little mod if it were available. Cheers, VT.

the image was taken from here http://www.corvetteonline.com/news/the-great-c7-taillight-incident-will-round-lights-return/

Not aware of anybody doing tail light conversions, but maybe there are.

Love the diffuser and outboard exhaust. Those look great.

I don't hate it but it's like a round peg in a square hole.

The whole idea about "mods" is to personalize you car. If someone likes that look or any other look for that matter it is up to them whether they like it or not. Just my opinion....

I personally like the OEM taillights, and welcomed the change on the C7, but I really like the rendition above.

Since it says SuperVettes in the lower right hand corner that would be correct.

I've seen a number of different C7 round tail light conversion ideas, not one of which has been produced that I'm aware of. I doubt the demand is there for a company to spend the money to produce the kit to do it.

I generally don't like aftermarket tail lights but those look sweet.

they made them for the C6...believe they called them eagle eye's ? Most all high end head/tails come from a company called Oracle...they do amazing stuf...most of which involve pulling apart and resealing the housing....
