Pffft! I can't wait to make fun of the morons who are inevitably going to pay for something like that. "For a mere $2800, we can make your C7 look like yesterday's Corvette(or a really surprised four-eyed frog)! Can't handle change? Don't like progress? Give us a call and we'll 'fix' your C7 right up!"
Round lights don't work with the body shape at all, not to mention this kit blocks the rear cooling vents, while leaving the intake vents intact for whatever reason. You'd have to be truly desperate to pay any amount of money for that, let alone nearly $3k. Better off saving yourself some cash and ridicule by picking up a used C6 Z06.
People whined about the fixed headlights when the last gen car debuted, and I predict this little mod will sell about as well as pop-up headlight kits for the C6. Like I said, I can't wait to get a good laugh out of this.

Btw, what are those exits for? I see the inlets, but can't understand why the air would be exiting. If it were for the brakes, it would dump on to the brakes and I can't imagine the vents make it that much more aerodynamic seeing that the lines on the car already make it pretty aero friendly.

As for the tail light vents, I believe they're outlets for hot air. Intake vents channel air to the differential and transmission for cooling(at least in cars equipped with the Z51 package), and the hot air gets funneled out through the "mascara" vents and other parts of the rear fascia. In non-Z51 cars, I think it's just to reduce turbulence under the car and provide more rear downforce, though I read somewhere that automatics might retain the transmission cooling function from the Z51s.

I've been reading the Camaro remarks for over a year now. Yes it looks like a Camaro, if you don't see that you are blind ... But that doesn't mean it can't look good ... The new pics I've seen of the black C7 in the wild, the thing looks just mean ... love it.
And I agree, these kits will not sell ... It looks ridiculous ...

Meh...Same old GM Corvette design fopaux. The rear Camaro tail lights makes it look more like a GM kit car than Thoroughbred. The Camaro owners will love the similarity but the Vette enthusiast will find it embarrassing. Its design is busy for the sake of being busy. Swing and a miss GM....

I like it as well overall, Those tailights are cool too! I know everybody's been crying foul over them too! I think this is the new direction of design of the Vette! And they're moving foreward and backwards! Sometimes you can't always rely on the past for inspiration, A new, fresh design is the way to go! Everyone else just going to have to deal with it!!

I don´t know if it looks better, it´s different but it really comes down to a matter of taste and what one prefers.
Thanks for the pac anyway, it was worth the comparison
