I Rain Xed the exterior window surfaces of my C7.
I periodically do the windows on my Mercedes Benz sedan, and RV, too.

The fit is very tight. They mold directly over your factory tail lights with clear 3M double-sided tape. Followed installation directions to the letter. Anxious to see how long they stay on.
Kit info below in link. Very easy to install. took 15 min.
This Acrylic Rear Tail Light Blackout Kit comes from RPI Designs....a supported vendor on the Forum.

Put insurance back on the vette after a long, long winter and put down Swisstrax in the garage to improve the looks of the stable.

I have one small line where my garage slabs are a bit uneven, so a little creaky there, otherwise no noise at all.

Painted the side spears of the clear top, changed the spoiler to carbon flash, put a stinger wrap on it, cleaned it up, and didn't crash the drone into it!

Yes, 4 Corvettes and 35 years of being a GM customer, and never again. The whole nightmare with this car required 8 pages of write-up that I gave to the lawyers. A summary:
- They lied when they claimed the car was "track ready". A8 transmission overheats. They promised a fix for this, never delivered. Another lie.
- The A8 was horrendous on the street with all sorts of shifting problems. At low speeds and when cold, could never shift consistently well, including at times when it felt like some someone hit you. After 2 years of messing around with it, they finally replaced it. The new one is much better, but still far from good. The A8 is just a defective design.
- Audio issues from day one (all audio), took 2 months to troubleshoot, 2 months to get the part to fix it.
- Other failures: torque tube, torque converter, 3 shocks (magnetic), starter. Starter failure shorted out the car while I was driving and left me stranded.
- Then the biggie and final straw: Oil pump failed, took out main bearing of engine. New engine required. GM would not cover it under warranty and would not give any reason why. The car spent 5 weeks sitting at the dealer with GM "investigating" everything from the tune to the oil in order to come up with an excuse not to cover it. When they couldn't find one, they just decided not to anyway.
There's some more little things, but that should give you a picture. The technical problems are one thing, but the attitude of blatantly lying to and screwing over a customer is just not acceptable. Deal with this "new GM" at your own risk.

What will you replace the C7 with?
