The only thing that bugs me about the new body style every time I see it are the flat areas above the wheels. The standard C6 has the flat areas too. The Grand Sport and Z's got rid of them with the fender flares.
In short, I'd be sold on either new fenders or even something stick on / bolt on for flares if it looked good.

Frankly, I don't think the C7 needs a damned thing done to it - This car is nearly perfect in my eyes.

That was my first thought. I just got back from my neighbor whose family have been in he car business for 4 generations and he kept commenting on the aerodynamics and wind tunnel work that went into my C7. BTW, he loves the car, rear end and all. He even went so far as to take a dozen phone pics. He wants to tease a friend of his whose C6 is up for sale, something along the lines of who would want your C6 next to this. I told him plenty of people would but his comment was "where's the fun in that".

Lol, you guys are missing the point. I'm trying to gauge some type of interest and or get ideas on what we should build. The first pix are an idea and I wanted to see what you guys thought. I'm willing to get a coupe other photoshops as mentioned so we can get a few different looks.
As for keeping it stock, yea it does look good. That doesn't mean people won't want theirs to look different and change it up a bit. I understand being such a new car it's hard to imagine changing stuff up, but trust me there are already a ton of manufacturers working in C7 body parts.

Forget about the front of the car. It is fine as is except the chrome strip and I doubt people will have much interest in making changes there or spending big bucks on a front bumper cover. The rear end of this car is another matter. It is truly an abomination to at least 30% of interested C7 buyers and you could sell a lot of rear valences correcting the flaws of the stocker. The tail lamps themselves are fine. It's the bezel around them and the rest of the rear panel which is an issue. That includes the totally silly stock Z51 "spoiler". Let's get some fotochops going!

I actually like the photoshopped front end. My only concern, as someone else mentioned, is that of form and function. Wouldnt want to reduce airflow to the point that car does not perform as well.

I don't see any reason you can't make an F12 front end for the C7 Corvaro. It already looks similar to the Ferrari California as it is.
I'm not the only one to say, anything that can be done to redesign the rear end would be an improvement. GM has this fixation with the Camaro rear end . You can see it on many new models, and believe me, that's not a good thing. IMO

If you drive over 130mph on a regular basis then your point is valid, otherwise it's not going to affect anything.

Thanks guys. I'm open to any and all ideas. If anyone wants to photoshop anything please feel free. We would like to make a rear bumper as well, but we are stuck on how to change it.
