I've always been a huge C2 fan and have recently become quite a C7 fan as well as both are GREAT designs. So I tend to prefer leaving each as they are, near perfect for their era.

Nothing wrong with paying homage, but I don’t like it on the C7. Some things are best left in the past like the spit rear window that some were trying to fabricate.
Well back in the day the 1958 Impala sported 6 tail lights and with the exception of 1959 kept that tradition for a very long time. The C2’s copied that to be different and it actually looked pretty good.

"The customizing fad was inspired by the styling conventions of the Chevrolet passenger cars of the period—1958 through 1965, roughly. In these years, the bottom-feeder Biscayne and Bel Air models were equipped with two taillights per corner, while the top-of-the-line Impala (’61 shown here) sported three per side for an extra bit of flash. It was only natural, then, that Corvette owners would upgrade from four to six lamps as well, to give their cars the full degree of deluxe-ness. Some Chevrolet dealers even offered the third pair of lamps as a pre-delivery upsell."

Beat me to it...
I remember being able to tell which cars were deluxe models by just looking at the taillights...the 2 per corner being the base/stripped models with the higher level ones having 3 per side.
