New C8 inspired tail lights for C7
#23
The C7 and C8 tailights already are quite similar. Especially at night.

Hokey on a C8, much less anything else... you asked.

I’d have to see them in person, but I don’t mind the look. At that price, I’d expect a premium product. The LED spacing on the turn signals looks a bit cheap in the video.

Normally I go for the smoked tail light look, but this c7z is the first car that I like the lights exactly how they are. Just so good looking. Could do carbon fiber instead of carbon flash, but I like the clear.

Just have to laugh at all the Haters of these. If you order smoked, tinted. You can’t see them anyway. But the LED design I like. Which is the only thing your going to see when they light up.
but haters will hate !

Just like most things in our over-sensitive society these days, just because you don't like something, doesn't mean you hate it. Sometimes a mod just isn't worth the effort.

Not bad but not great either and they just don't do much for me and perhaps its that they seem too busy or has too many LEDs and a lot going on but that's just me. I give it a 6/10 rating for looks.

I like what they were trying to do, but I really dislike the individual LED elements. I'm also not a fan of blocking off the vents for the trans and diff coolers. Morimoto is guilty of this as well.

Point taken! I also recall that an automotive engineer said that those vents are secondary and tertiary and not the main vents and are inconsequential which would not cause any issues.

Not opposed to the idea, but the exposed LED look is straight out of 2008 German cars. They needed to be opaque light strips. Also not a fan of the reverse light being where the vents are.

It blocks a functional vent.

If you like them, go for it. As for me, I have/had C8 tail lights already, on my Camaros, so nothing special.
