Ever since the new C7 Chevrolet Corvette made its debut at the Detroit Motor Show, tons and tons of impressions have been offered on the car’s styling and it seems that certain enthusiasts liked the rear end of its predecessor more.
Well, their dream has just become a reality, as corvetteitalia.it offers a C6 rear end conversion for the C7. We're not sure why you'd want people to believe you drive around in the previous model, but the simple fact that this development has showed up demonstrates there are people out there with a different view on the matter. Perhaps it's the idea of being different or maybe we are talking about people who have lived wonderful moments with their C6s and would like to link those adventures of the past with the motoring deeds of the future.

The Nostalgic Tail Kit is the name of the game

Dubbed Nostalgic Tail Kit, the package obviously the fiberglass rear end, which took a bit of effort to develop. The list of goodies goes on with the C6 rear lights, complete with wiring and bulbs, as well as tools and diagrams. If you feel that this is a goof gift for a C7 ‘Vette, be prepared to spend $2,800 (that's about €3,100 at the current exchange rate) on it.

You should pay attention to potential problems though, as such a conversion can also affect the vehicle’s top speed behavior via aerodynamics, as well as the cooling. The company hasn't mentioned anything about these aspects, which only raises more questions.

While there are enough posers out there who drive Corvettes just for the bragging right, the 'Vette community is, thankfully, loaded with drivers that adore to dip into the assets of the Chevy sportscar. And yes, this involves slipping into that area of the speedometer where aerodynamics start to matter.
