I believe GM did real good designing the C6. Most car models cannot survive 4 years without needing another refresh. The C6 will probably have around 10 model years and may still be a modern design when the C7 comes out.

From the "spy" photos and "artist renderings" I've seen of the C7, I'm not so sure it will be and improvement over the C6?

Congrats for "fessing up!" Most who mod and don't like the results would never admit it. I like some of the mod hoods, but your car looks better with stock. Beautiful car. Glad to see the Corvette lines return.

Sometimes a modification just does not work....... no matter how hard we try to beat that round peg into the square hole 
At least you realized it and were able to correct it. We all screw up from time to time that is why keyboards have a back space key

Very cool that you have the stones to admit (and post) that you made an error in judgement, and an expensive one at that.

Thanks! I started this thread because A; I was amazed a just how perfect the car really is and how quickly we can forget that sometimes. B;my supercharger is a Vortech and doesn't need an aftermarket hood to fit but for those who DO need one I wanted to show everyone that the lower the better, and warn anyone who likes that hood that Star Craft is capable of making a horrible product.

After screwing around with the HORRIBLY MADE, impossible to fit because it's short Star Craft hood I went back to stock today. Woulda done it sooner but It took four days because I couldn't get my OE hod back fro the Speed Shop over the weekend. I actually put this monstrosity on my car...(with a blower underneath it )
My point is: look at these 3 pix. The clean line of the Vette styling really can't be improved upon. I never really appreciated the hood until I didn't have it anymore.
Took the 2 new ones today after changing out the hood. I can sleep at night again

maybe that hood would look good on a non Z06/GS, but the double scoops look idiotic, and make the car look like Franken-vette... the stock GS is such a beauty, let's never do that again!
