Body color vents and rear end only looks good on a BLACK car.
I wish GM would offer an option of NOT having the side vent trim in body color on the GS.
If I trade my Stingray for a GS, I think I would have to change out the side vents to all black.

Good thinking. I agree.

The red coupe in front of it lets you see just how much better it would have looked if he left it alone.

This car has a black top, side skirts, and a black spoiler. Too much red on the back-side. Needs a little more black.

Certainly nothing wrong with being unique, but I prefer the Carbon Flash contrast. Although, I love black Vettes, which obviously have no color contrast, so what do I know...

Default What brand are the exhaust tips?

Looks GREAT, but I love the exhausts even more! Can you please advise who makes / what brand are the exhaust tips?

Yeah, nice but the vents would look better to me if left black.

Don't like it... Looks like a bad collision repair and body shop didn't tape up trim correctly.

The all-red paint job makes the rear end look too fat.

I like the contrasting color with the lower portion of the rear fascia painted black. But it's not like the all body color route is bad - it's just a matter of personal preference.

This does not look good. Almost like he turned it into a blinged out camaro. I hope he likes it but it looks very 1990's to me. The chrome rims really put the poor aesthetics cherry on top. All of our C7's are worse off because of this.

Kind of looks like Rick Ross got ahold of some tape and a spray gun. It reminds me of those rapper Lamborghinis in the music videos. You know the c7 look pretty good stock, might want to try another hobby like fishing if you cant sit still. As a kid i would paint my Jeeps axles and diff covers, it never made them look better, i think this is along those lines.
