The C7 fugly rear end is much better with many of the photoshop mods.

Color matched, also gets rid of the odd looking "foo man choo" mustache.

I noticed on the gray one, the lower rear is painted, and on the red it is not. Why would they paint the grey one, and not the red one?

I also made the black droppy trim around the camero lights car colour.

And wow what an improvment!

A few minor things could be changed to a brand new factory car, and make a significant improvement. The black bezel trims around the tail list, car color. The "foo man choo" black stuff, either car color or Z06 stainless mess MIGHT look good. And the bumper all color mathced (other than the lower tunnel portion beside the exhaust)

One thing I find interesting, I hated the car on Sunday. Now like the car, and in some of the front side views on the gun metal gray car, I'm strarting to love it!

I agree with the rounded tails but will wait to pass judgement until I can see and touch in person. Remember all the criticism the "Top Gear" folks made of the "cheap flimsy plastic" rear of the C6. Hope the C7 is better.

I've got quite a few amazing ideas but have to get my hands on a set (or size specs etc...) before I can make new ones.

Oh man, that is so much better!!! The rest of the car can stay the way it is, but those photoshopped lights look so good!!!

alanhang

no they dont! Are you blind. They are off an old Impala and look wrong on this car.

ChineseGoddess

Quite a few people in this thread like it.

alanhang

when they see the car in person, they will change their mind. The car looks amazng just the way it is. Go forward, its time. The old ways, did not sell the car anymore. Sales were in the toilet. It was time for a new look already.

Some people live to argue via the 'net.

Wish I had the resources.

C5 tail lights? Must have to relocate the vents too.

pretty awful and dated looking on this car

I like the round taillights in this picture. I'm not too keen on how high up the black plastic molding comes on the car though. A low black diffuser would have made the design look more sinister.

From just a photoshop stand point I too prefer this version of the "rounded" tails. They maintain the new brake vents. I don't agree that rounded tails look dated. Ferrari is a good case in point with their use of round tails as well. I also would like to see the diffuser be smaller with more body color on the rear. A Lambo style center exhaust tip(s) could also look good. These things all just open the door for the aftermarket to make those mods available for those of us that can't leave "well enough" alone.

Sorry bud, cool idea, but I am not a fan of that design. Good photoshopping!

ProfessorDeath

Was thinking the same thing!

Lights are interesting except don't forget those are vents. I happen to like round fluted tail pipes like the Z06 tips of today. Overall I think the rear is too homogenized. I could see people yelling on this board about it looking too ricer or Japanese. The complexity of the C7 rear end is interesting and provides a different view dpending on your perspective. I like that. Its very distinctive which is something they were going for.

I'm glad none of you in this thread are engineers or designers for GM. OMG at some of these... thanks I needed a good laugh.

Lingenfelter should make an after market rear that looks like this!
