I would take it off. I would also lower the car. Has anyone thought about an accent stripe around the exhaust tips like the find new roads commercial.[IMG][/IMG]
maybe in orange
can somebody photoshop around the tips

IMHO, the very last thing the hodgepodge of textures, designs, colors, angles, chrome, vents and grills the rear end of the C7 needs, is another color or stripe.

I like what you are trying to do but I'm not doing summersaults over what you have done.......... I am thinking if you try continuing the horizontal liles coming out of the vents with a short stretch of your red accent it would look better then what you are currently showing us

No offence........... just saying

The rear is pretty busy as is. Especially the with a license plate back there. Just curious to see it though.

No offence taken, I wasn't sure I liked what I did either. I DO like the C7 side vents a lot, though, but they tend to disappear on the black car and I'd like to bring them out a bit, without gopping up the design...

Love the colors... Black with Red interior.

Great looking C7,... but the red line looks kinda strange.
