I guess when people see the tail lights of a '14 c7 they will say it's for people who couldn't afford a 10+ camaro???

That's what I'm talkin' about. Subtle, but yet it adds that aggressiveness and muscular look. Great design VFN, as always!

amazing fitment on the hood, i really couldn't be happier. took about 30 min from the time we ripped open the box till we closed it the final time and pulled it around for a wash. it totally changes the look of the car. i'll try and get more pics up soon.

Nice! I bet it'll look great painted red and some black stripes down the sides. Where are the photoshop gurus?

I personally still think it looks like a perfect copy from a C5 CORVETTE hood.....

^This isn't the first time a factory hood has inspired an aftermarket one. And even then, that's just giving the C5 the origin of design for the smooth cowl hood? It looks similar to a C5 because of the sloped cowl with the combination of the shape of the body IMO.

Also, the C5 z06 red/black two tone interior was inspired by the 94-95 firebird red leather interior, so if you must look at it that way, just think of it as the C5 "paying the LT1 firebird back". Lol
