Much better
You simply have to be a moron or completely blind not to see that the
C7 has a Camaro *** end. Even casual observers and not just Corvette aficionados say "Camaro" when they look at the awful rear on this thing. GM ruined the car with this Camaro look-a-like ****. It's because of this why the aftermarket guys know there's an immediate need to change the rear fascia to try and save the Corvette and keep some semblance of its heritage alive. Its me and so many others who are going to be laughing our asses off and shaking our heads when we see the Camaro wannabe C7 guys driving down the road.
And before you say jealous, I have the dough to buy several of these ridiculous looking things but won't until there's a quality rear conversion kit to make the car look like what it should be, A CORVETTE!

Hadn't seen it. But glad I did...makes me love the actual Corvette C7 design even more. The more people try to incorporate the old tails and "simpler" styling, the newer and fresher the actual Corvette C7 design appears to me. Thanks for reinforcing what I felt from the beginning...I love the Corvette C7!!

I would buy THAT!
I would buy a C7 if it looked like that!
The side still looks like a Nissan GTR, but I could live with that considering how much better that rearend looks.

that is a huge improvement over what gm did. Besides so few
will ever drive the car fast enough to worry about differential cooling
or aero dynamic. It makes a much cleaner looking car
AND it going to go the other way too. Kits to make your C6 look like a
KISS mascara'ed c7maro

It's gonna happen, people want their Corvettes to look like ......wait for it.........CORVETTES, not Camaro's.
Who can blame them. Why **** and moan about people not wanting to tell everyone they see....NO it's not a CAMARO.
What's it gonna hurt letting them have the car they want? At least you guys can motor around and be proud of the C7, while the guys can motor around in their new Corvette.
C7= "New Coke" Just when you thought a large Corporation couldn't possibly make another bad decision.

That said, I am glad you are not part of the design team because if you were, I'd bet you might actually incur a bigger backlash than the one caused by what you call a Camaro *** end. It's ok because you are entitled to your opinion and only somebody who is a good statistician or actually pays attention to popular belief or polls would realize that.
By the way, I'm NOT blind and certainly not a moron contrary to your belief. I'd summise that it would be moronic to make those statements about people who don't see things your way. Pretty naive and immature if you ask me. People like you give Corvette owners a bad name!
Back on topic, that rear facia doesn't look bad. It looks to much like the C6 for my taste. I actually prefer the new C7 rear facia over that. It looks much more aggressive and suits the car better in my opinion.

Outside car forums have to be pissing their pants from laughing so hard at all the round tail light whiners on this forum. Frankly, it's damn embarrassing.

Honestly, I cannot wait to laugh at the *Radio edit* who convert their whole back end to put "dated" round lights in their C7. Have at it kids.

Who would want to remove state of art taillights and functional vents to slap on 4 boring round red taillights? Where are you going to put the reverse lights? Some Corvette owners will probably buy this since they dont like change. They will look stupid in the car, like those who slap a c6 rear end on a c5 or a c5 rear end on a c4. It looks stupid and out of place for that generation.

Perhaps but just keep in mind that the "you and so many others" that you speak of will be the minority. The polls show it. Most like the car and don't mind the rear end and even like it. I also bet that most people won't be considering this mod because it WILL void the warranty on the rear and and trans if the vents are removed. They are there for a reason.
That said, I am glad you are not part of the design team because if you were, I'd bet you might actually incur a bigger backlash than the one caused by what you call a Camaro *** end.

I personally dig the new c7 z51 total package....but for those that are really addicted to round tail lights...I'm glad the after market has something for you....
Best of luck and I'm sure it won't be too expensive...
(edit) This kit shouldn't cost more than 750....and yet I see a number of $2800 dollars on the lower corner of the ad...which I wouldn't recommend at that price....its too much money in my opinion.....Vette tax..
