What a bunch of whiners....... you bitch cause not everyone is swooning over a garish rear end. You state that you know the company that makes a rear facia is going to go bankrupt....what? you go around sprinkling fairy dust and predict the future? Ridiculous!!!!
Pull that foreskin back down around your necks and give it a rest. There are too many companies that make millions providing what the buying public want. Those who don't want to change a thing can shut up cause you don't ever intend to buy or change anything, so those companies DON'T CATER TO YOU! They cater to guys like me who aren't afraid to change what I don't like!
Jeeezzz, give it a rest.... or start standing on street corners wearing a placard predicting "the End of World is Coming!"
Oh and let's not forget....GM is going TO LOVE IT, whenever a C7 is sold and the owners change the rear facia's...they still sell them anyway!

I want to see your frame off resto! I'm actually serious and not doubting you. Besides, this thread could use a good derailing to relieve the tension/contention! I did a frame off resto on a 68 Camaro that I spent 5 years building myself. I finished it up in 99 and had it 20 years now. It's a one of kind 68 Camaro that was featured in a magazine and is my baby. Sadly, I don't driver her. It only has less than 2000 miles since I finished it in 99. I love the classics. None the less, would love to see that Vette your working on!

the company that makes that silly back end would and will go bankrupt. Not many people would be silly enough to take the back end of a contemporary design, and put on an old design for roughly 3 grand. Not only would they lose the 3 grand, but they would depreciate the car even more.
I definitely see a opportunity for the aftermarket here, big deal if some wants to change out the bumper cover that can be put back on.

If you see an opportunity, then you should go for it also. Good luck with that. Yes, Mitt was a real winner. After he lost, his sons said, he didnt really want to be president anyway.

Dont give a damn what someone else does with their car. I say mod all you want any way you want and more power to ya.
As to the rear end, I like the taillights. Its everything below them I hate. Thankfully a dark color does a lot to hide the hideous "designed by two different committees that were not allowed to see each others work" look and is needed anyways to hide the "look at me, look at me, look at me, I'm a vent" look. While I'm sure it all works for the children that think the look of a 4" fart can makes their civic fast, for this old man, not so much. And no it isn't that I loved the C6, I bought two of them because in the end they were just too good a car not to buy. The C7 will likely be the same for me, I'll never really like the look but I'll put up with it because the driving is worth it.

it's really below the tailights thats hideous, it's just trying to be to many things, and the hood and rear fender vents(by the doors) cheapin the look of the car even if they are fuctional they distort the lines.
And for the record there are 9 vents

let me know when your rear end burns up because all the vents are gone. They are there for a reason one would imagine. Also the circular lights do not go with the car at all. You people need to stop crying like babies.

I wonder if people were such babies when the C1 went to the C2, now that was a huge design change and the 2nd gen now has by far some of the most wanted Corvettes ever.

Mods to the C-7
How about the folks that put a 64 rear window in their 63 split. And the three tail lights on the C2's. Then C-5 rear bumpers on the C-4. It all looks new and different. Then we want to get it back to stock. Then it's out to Carlisle to see if we can find the parts. The new Corvette is great.
