No worse than blacked out taillights or the chrome crap a lot of corvette owners put on their cars.

I'm sure a lot of guys would buy that kit and that company would make a lot of money, but for me I am starting to like the Rear of the C7 and I will keep it the way it is.

And is hideous. Looks like the dated, and not classic yet, C5...

Why by a new one if you want the look of the old? Save your money.

By the time you've spent total $$ to get that look,
you would have spent same or less to get a used model of this , which it now kinda resembles from this angle , but is way faster :

You’ll save yourself both a good bit of cash a ton of grief from other Corvette fans who won’t be too impressed with your retro body kit.

If folks whine enough, maybe they can revise the old C5 body kit that looks like a '53.

Careful. That likely applies to anyone who pays MSRP for a first-year C7.

As for the Italian Job - gotta love Europeans. They want $2800 for something that's nothing more than a fotochop. Wonder if they're taking advance deposits...
