Found this at Jalopnik.

Made in Italy. Go to the link and read about it.

I looked but must have missed it.

Mods, please delete.

Racer 01-31-2013 03:03 PM

Really? You looked?

Dudeurgettnavette 01-31-2013 03:12 PM

Looks Great!

tavaresv 01-31-2013 03:13 PM

RACER: Yeah, I did. Every day I scan the titles of the posts. I looked again today after finding this article at Jalopnik and cruised the titles once more. Not seeing anything resembling "rear end" or "tail light mod" I posted it.

Guess I missed it. But DID ask the mods to delete it immediately (within a minute) after I was informed.

If this is the sort of stuff that gets your socks in a knot that's pretty pathetic and I must assume you were born perfect and never made any mistakes in your life.

looks like $hit

Bill17601 01-31-2013 03:57 PM

I wish I didn't see that. Going to spoil my dinner.

DRLC5 01-31-2013 03:58 PM

Not bad.

BMadden 01-31-2013 04:09 PM

Not ideal, but still looks better than the production rear end.

C7 in person
 
I attended NAIAS; I too was not a fan of the Corvette rear taillights until I saw them in person. In pictures it looks bad, just like a Camaro, however if you see it in person you will see how the shape of the lights compliment the body lines of the vehicle. When I looked the Corvette lights and then looked at the Camaro lights the corvettes lights are more concave than the Camaro, and they have the LED's that outline the lights to give them a nice silhouette. If you ask me people are just griping GM knows what they are doing. The lights will grow on people like the fixed head lights of the C6 did.

Do people really not like the shape of the lights themselves? Or is it the tear vent off the taillight and diffuser turning most off? The latter for most folks I know including myself. I liked the rear end less in person at the show, but I love the taillights, the evolution is perfect.

looks good

george vee 01-31-2013 04:47 PM

I'm not a huge fan of the taillights themselves, but I think the black vent around them makes the situation even worse.

Chrome bumbers look great! Oh I forgot, CF all over a GT-R is suppose to look awesome :(

Order in Black. Problem solved. I'm not crazy about the looks but again, that's what black is for. It seems that it will be a better car than the C6 so will just have to wait for the production versions to be tested. 50/50 weight distribution should help in the handling department, but again, only time will tell. Probably will wait for the 2-3 year product before diving in. Until then, the "big arse" of the C6 will have to do.
