Default Running lights

Saw my first production C8 on the road today. Though I generally like the stying, from the front, those running lights make it look very rectangular and give it the look of a 60’s kit car. If and when mine comes in (it’s convertible, so I doubt I’ll see it in 2020) I might have to mask. those off somehow😠.

If you say so. I do, however, think the C7's running lights look better.
