I agree that the blue and yellow ones look terrific, and I've absolutely never liked yellow Corvettes in the past. The smaller spoiler cleans up the rear a lot too.

So are black headlight buckets standard now? I wonder if body colored ones will be optional.

Missed opportunity.

See, I think the more I see cars with and without the spoiler, the more I think the spoiler is needed. Looks naked without it and the center stop light just seems to be too pronounced without it. Amazing how a spoiler on some cars is not noticeable and on others, changes the whole look of the car.

I'll admit the current spoiler looks tacked on, doesn't seem integrated very well with the car, but I think it looks best with it on. Still need to see it in person really before can decide.

Too much black on the yellow car for my tastes. Body colored vents might look better. Blackened headlights don't do it for me either.

Just too much black/body color....black here... lets throw some black over here..uggh..looks too pieced together.

So frustrated with some of the look as most of it is beautiful.

Aftermarket is going to make a killing on the C7!

I agree with everything you are saying. The DC Auto Show has started and I'm planning on getting a good look next week. I'm sure it is going to be a cool car but just does not "flip my switch" yet.

I agree. I think a lot will be getting the lower part painted like in this photoshopped pic, to me, this makes it look a lot better than the all black panel:

It does nothing for me........ Still think the C6 looks way better. Need's a widebody kit.........They should have consulted w SS Vettes, Supervette's, and Loma.....................

I didn't think the C7 was going to be making an appearance there. Please correct me if I'm wrong................will buy tickets and be there in a heartbeat if so.

Looks much better, without those goofy looking chrome trinkets, stuck on the fenders.

Chevy should have a badge delete option, on the C7 order sheet.

I agree. I just don't understand all the attraction recently to black wheels on these otherwise beautiful cars. Everytime I seem black wheels on a car, all I can think of is the old days, when if you saw a black wheel on a car, it meant there was a sad and lonely wheel cover laying on the side of the road somewhere...

Thanks for the pics. It is funny how we all have our color preferences. I thought the yellow looked horrible and the darker colors better. I guess all the vents everywhere make the lighter colored cars look a little too "boy racer" for my taste. I look forward to the test drives and performance results.
