Feedback, good bad or indifferent feel free to post



Looks like a Porsche boy racer! At least it doesn’t have a huge rear spoiler. I’d pick another color but to each his own. Not sure I like the grill but at least you have made room to add driving lights! I do need to improve the high beam lighting. I’m sure some folks will buy it.

Super Wide Body - gotta love that. If it was a different color I bet it would be getting different feedback.

You have another like from me as far as style. I like things that are different. Why pay a bunch of money for a body kit and have it look like all the other C7 cars except for a few inches here and there. Color I realize is for attention, and I think you won that contest.
Good job. Cecil.........

I like it (except for the color) but the widebody is nice.

I have a feeling that the Z07 is going to look almost that extreme. But nobody is going to copy that color.

Still a bit pimpy. Not sure about the Volt grill up front.

I think the work that went into this car is awesome.
If somebody would render this replacing the blue with white including the wheels that would be great to see.

With some refinement, I think that could be cool. Also, a very interesting treatment on the lights and "grill" in the front. I would tend to maintain the black but I really like the led lights and how they tie into the headlamps. Definitely I would do different wheels, but again, it's a show car. Great imagination implementation!
I agree, how about Artic White?

Or CRT with the black accents and CHROME WHEELS!

I find this comment funny after you basically got flamed for your photoshop widebody and it looks damn near exactly the same.


Awesome job on the car. The widebody is perfect! The C7 has the appearance of being wide but it's just an illusion from the cabin. I'm sure the HO C7 will be very similar.

The color will throw most of the purest off immediately. Most have never been to SEMA or understand what it takes to stand out. Had it been black with chrome wheels the over all comment would have been "WOW".

Change the color and the wheels and I'd buy one - definitely not a practical street vette though.....

My only issue is the color. I like the actual body work.

The C7 actually is wider than the base C6. It's not just an illusion from the cockpit.

Great Job..

Front grill looks awesome, love the added lights.

Body work is incredible

Wrong color...

The baby blue wheels make it look like a Dub Ride

I like to roomy in the hips look - could have used a vent....
Fugly color
carbon on the diffuser looks punk (not a good thing)
wheel fugly

IMHO
