Someone already created a new rear end for the C7
Hello Skyline Taillights. They car was designed off of the 599. If you were a company making a aftermarket piece wouldn't you copy the Ferrari Taillights?

Re: Someone already created a new rear end for the C7
The new C7 certainley has styling cues taken from the Ferrari 599 but I believe its style is more of a form following function rather than directly going after another manufactures look. Not that the tail lights that were photo shopped look misplaced but I kinda have taken a liking to the new rear lights. I just think the new C7 is going to be fantastic with a look all its own. I stll believe it has captured enough of previous Corvettes to make it undeniably a Corvette. Certainley the new interior is a vast improvement over the C5 & C6. I appreciate you posting the pic. I just cannot wait to see a C7 in person. Each time I see it from a different angle I like it more & more.

I frequent the CF C7 Section. It's hilarious, the infighting there is over the Camaro tail Light treatment. Good entertainment. LOL

Re: Someone already created a new rear end for the C7
Personally I like the rear-end of the C7.

Re: Someone already created a new rear end for the C7
The C7 rear fascia is growing on me, too.
Especially when I found that part of the "black" color outboard of the tail lamps which, in early spy shots and P'shop renderings, was thought to be flat black paint, is actually the exhaust vents for the transaxle cooling air flow. It goes in the two inlets just aft of the rear quarter windows, flows around the transaxle then out those two vents. Like the front end cooling exhaust vents on the hood, that's good use of aero.

Re: Someone already created a new rear end for the C7
while it maybe a good use of areo, it's also ugly as hell. on a race car you can get away with that, not on a street car

I agree, Kevin. The outside vents, while a good idea, look out of place.

I figure 2 years for the GM to iron out minor kinks and another year for a high performance version (perhaps Z06). Better start saving... |
