I know that there are many that are all wound up about the tail lights. IMO they are not bad just backwards. If the left lights were placed in the right side opening and the right lights were placed in the left opening it would look better. Part of the problem is the slope of the lights are not aligned with the slope of the sides of the car. The car is not rounded so I am ok with an edgy sloped tail lights. Also if the round exhaust was sloped and edgy like the tail lights, then that would tie it together. My 2c

Good luck with that, it ain't gonna happen.

I like what you've done.

You could or should leave the vents as they are functional, but maybe make them body color?

Surprised people aren't complaining about the chevy truck vents!

Round tails look good on what you've done... I think the square tails would look fine, if they were smaller, care to tackle that too?

Can you please chop the C7 in laguna blue with silver wheels? I know there's the option on the chevy website but for some reason it's hard to really know what the car will look like since the Chevy site has them on a white background and they aren't real photos and have weird reflections. But with this shot on the road with various colours helps see what it will actually look like.

I like it. GM should hire you. The less the car looks boy racer the better it looks. I also like what you did with the rear.

what happens to said hot air when you take the roof off... or worse yet when you put the top down on the convert? I'm guessing some of it circulates right into the cabin.... sounds pleasant

I think you did a great job. The round lights look so much better on a rear that I can only think Aztek! I too questioned the scoops on the rear fender flanks and I like what you did.
