The vents are the black area on the outside of the taillights. The kit bumper doesn't have them, but it's also just a photoshop. I think it's a ricer mod though. The taillights will grow on people and this kit 'fixes' the wrong problem. They should be focused on sculpting the diffuser area.

 

This. The vents below are for the wheel wells. This bumper will kill your transmission.

The 2014 Corvette Stingray’s all-new LT1 6.2L V-8 engine is SAE-certified at 460 horsepower (343 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 465 lb-ft of torque (630 Nm) at 4,600 rpm, with the available performance exhaust system, Chevrolet announced today.

 

The Stingray is SAE-certified at 455 horsepower (339 kW) and 460 lb-ft (624 Nm) with the standard exhaust system. They are the highest standard power ratings ever for the Corvette, delivered with efficiency that is expected to exceed 26 mpg on the highway.

 

“The 2014 Corvette Stingray’s LT1 engine is a triumph of advanced technology, delivering more power and torque than ever before with greater efficiency,” said Jordan Lee, Small Block chief engineer.

 

“The LT1’s performance complements the Corvette’s low mass with a tremendous feeling of power that builds as the rpm climbs. Drivers will experience more power and acceleration than ever before with the standard engine – in fact, its power and torque surpass many uplevel engines offered by competitors.”

 

At 74 horsepower per liter, the LT1 has greater power density than the C6 Corvette’s LS3 6.2L engine and even the C6 Z06’s racing-derived 7.0L LS7. It also produces comparable torque to the LS7 – up to 4,700 rpm – and its peak torque is within 5 lb-ft of the 7.0L engine. That torque is generated early and sustained across the rpm band, with 316 lb-ft available at only 1,000 rpm and 90 percent of peak torque available from 3,000 rpm to 5,500 rpm – giving the lightweight Corvette Stingray excellent acceleration at all speeds.

word. I think used is the way to go. lots of old guys buy em and never drive em.

 

There's also the price....

 

EDIT: realized that sounded dickish.. Just a bit PO'd at work.

 

If I could buy one new, I would. I prefer working from a clean slate rather than discovering the previous owner's issues. But I think the only way I'll be able to afford one would be used. Unless I forego a lot of stuff I want to do in the interim. But that's not going to happen.
