Love all of my light upgrades. It's your money and your car. Do whatever you want or don't want.

I just like the look of the "donuts" better. The depth they have looks really great in person, but it's not always captured well in photos. I think they fit the rear end well and I like how they accentuate the round tail light bezels.

​​​​​​I saw a blue ZR1 late at night last summer with the donut tails and I was instantly sold. They look good during the day but at night they really stand out in a good way.

I am in the keep it stock minority. Ive had a few Vettes and kept them all looking stock. Prefer to mod the motor. No harm in the light mods but it is not for me.

that's been me. Most everything i do to a car you cant see. Heck ive only changed the radio once in any of my cars lol. This one will be my second...have to have bluetooth and hands free. Def. all good with mods people do and getting others perspective on the lights is a plus for me.

Just some of the personal choices that people make with their Vettes.

I think these look 100 times better than stock. If you like the stock ones then keep them. Your choice.

Personally I like the OEM ones but I didn't like the orange/red look

If you are replacing head unit for bluetooth and hands free, might I suggest also adding a rear camera? Then the car will be perfect. YMMV

How come the hole is not in the center of the doughnut? Was that a mistake, or on purpose?

Actually, you're not. Not if you're modifying the motor. First minor change and you're no longer in the "keeping it stock" minority. Sorry, Wanna buy some donut lights now??
