I’m working on re-skinning a Corvette for a billionaire, tell me what’d you design it like. I’ll give you exactly 0.00% of the money I’ll get.

So this is actually something that has to be feasible? Because that dictates whether I can do something crazy vs. not as crazy.

Get rid of all the black vents, they look like JC Whitney crap. Fix the back end it’s hideous, especiall the shit around the tail lights that looks like bad millenial eye makeup. The chrome retainer is dumb. Smooth out the creases everywhere.

More hips, lower tail. Not so tall an ass end.

Tyring to figure out what you’re saying with the mid line (the one through the filler)... subtle durface break? Because otherwise you’ll end up with weird, flat/wide wheelarches, but you know that.

Top of front fender vent seems too far back and a little high.

What’s going on with the sill? A double flare?

Yea actually feasible. No structure change, has to go around all of the hard points, keep the glass, etc.

Flip up headlights.

Also flying buttresses, if going modern. Otherwise I’ve always liked the concave shelby daytona rear end and have never really seen anything like it elsewhere.

P.S. second side pipes

I honestly just opened up Photoshop and started playing around, I don’t even know what I’m doing yet.

But things like the high ass might have to stay. Company wants to change just body panels to keep cost down and profit high. We’ll know more about the structure when we get a C7 in and take the body off.

SidepEEps. Buttresses. Shrouded round headlights.Proper gill slots in the side.

And a luggage rack.

If you’re going with a functional splitter in the front, then you need to see it through with a smoothened underbody (via covers/tray) and a proper rear diffuser.

Milky > StingrayJake 02/10/2016 at 15:46

We cant change the glass because $$ and IMO just painting that part does not look good.

Someone asked if he wanted C7R inspired bodywork and his response was:

I dont goto the track, I want something I can daily drive to work.

The problem with the stock C7 isn’t the skin....

...it’s the placement of the engine within.

But for sure. Add the grille slots back in the sides after the front wheels.

Like this?

In all seriousness, though, I dunno. Maybe make it look like a Camaro? That would be hilarious, at least.

StingrayJake > Milky 02/10/2016 at 15:54

Well there you go.

So here’s an alternate suggestion:

A modern-day Greenwood.

But with better-looking lights since the C7 has a bit more to work with than the C3 did.

I know. But if he wants to pay us a lot of money to just change the body panels, we’d be stupid not to do it.

any way to take the back end and go more boattail than robot would be nice and comliment the more natural lines in your example. my top pic is some weird thing i did ages ago, but the idea is to let the greenhouse lines continue down instead of creating a flat back deck at the center. effectively in the second pic where it says callaway would become emty space with a spoiler or aero bridging the sides....this would allow the rear haunches to become a lot more aggresively sculpted looking too.

imagine in this pic if the area where between and including the inboard rear lights become an extension of the cabin space instead of a flat area....it start to look very sleek...like a cotroen gt but far less exaggerated..

Yea, eventually. If/when there is a end result. But damn the LC500 is pretty.
