[PICS] C7 With All Paint Matched Trim - What Do You Think?

Not really a fan of this on the red car, I think it might look good on other colors but the red makes it looks cheap and chunky...not exactly what I would want on my car. Of course there are other trains of thought and taste...some people actually think chrome trim on their C5&C6 tail lights looks good.

I like the vents and rear diffuser painted red but the diamond mesh in the background of the vents should still be painted black, especially the side fender vents.

Here is a link where a guy posted exactly what I'm looking to do with the rear. Add the black to the spoiler and I think it will look original and very cool.

If the car had satin finish alloys instead of black wheels with this repaint . all good. Chevy should offer body color ducting as an option where the buyer can pick which pieces stay black or CF and which get painted. As some have said, the mesh grills inside the ducts should probably be black or CF.

My take - it looks really great on the hood, rear fender vents and lower bumper - I would have left the front fender vent and around the taillights carbon flash. It is probably because I think the hood and rear fender vents take away from the look of the ca.r

I think it looks much better. You should post this in the C6 forum. Many of them complain the car is too busy looking stock. I would love to see what they think.

Opinions aside, I like that it gives the car a completely different look.
At the very least, GM should offer it as an option or in the accessories catalog.

I prefer the black.

Funny how it fits on the black from the factory but just doesn't do it for me on the red.
Of course I am biased,,,,,
Maybe with the grills painted black like others have mentioned.
