I will preface this with saying that I love my C7's tail lights. However, I think if they had made the circular ones less buggy looking they could have looked nice. I copied/pasted and hacked up the photo a little to get something more symmetrical which i think would have looked nice (ignoring the poor cut/paste work by me that is hehe)

J. C. Whitney made a pretty good business out of selling "The Accessories That Detroit Forgot", with page after page of geegaws, frippery, and stick-on nonsense to "improve" your car. Folks have been personalizing their cars since cars first appeared, and the only limits are their pocketbook and their level of taste - or the lack of it. There is little to be gained by walking up to these owners and saying "What were you thinking? That's the ugliest car I've ever seen!" They won't have a clue what you're talking about, and you're not going to embarrass them into changing it back. I'm a big proponent of "It's their car, it's their money, so it's their choice", and the only real down side of allowing everyone and anyone to let their freak flag fly is that the rest of us occasionally have to look at it. I can live with that. it costs nothing to just shake your head and walk away.

Saw this at the dealer in person when I had my oil changed and I must say is looks worse in real life. This is a real paint job and not a wrap or decal. I;m curious to see how long it sits on the lot.

I may have to stop by tomorrow, just to see it in person! LOL Then, I will offer $40K, less my trade at $45K, so they can pay me $5K and I'll get it painted!

Apparently the prior owner liked it. Probably not a mod I would do.

Dude, take a midol and chill. You're going to give yourself a stroke... It's a freaking car.... It's not like the owner raw dogged a **** star and covered it up... Save your outrage for real things.
