Default I can see the big spoiler...

I did a little lightening of a frame from the video and matched certain parts to the CAD. The spoiler matches the CAD image though I'm still a bit confused about the final tail light lens shape...

Hmmm, looks fine on my end...and I did it the same way I always do. Lemme try this again...

Photobucket has a new 'beta'...maybe that is the problem.

Looks fine here.

Might try some "fill flash" to bring out the tail light more.

I agree that does, in fact, look like the same spoiler. In the teaser still shot it looks like the hatch is ajar but the upper edge is definitely the same as Keeks CAD.

Yeah, the hatch is ajar or it has the poorest fit I have ever seen!

I did what I could with the limited resources I have. There just isn't enough detail to get more out of it.

Or something to throw everone off. Funny that they conveniently left the camo loose(knowing people were around taking photos) and notice the poor fit of the brake light lens to the spoiler(spoiler is curved and the lens is straight). Does not look to be a production peice to me. If the small spoiler is not a production piece, is the large spoiler?

I'm having to force myself to like those orange CAD pictures, because it's really looking like this is what we're getting.

I take comfort from the fact that guys like Keeks, Corvette lovers who have actually seen the C7, like it, and will buy a 2014.

Nice job Blue Ox!
The sliver of tailight bezel certainly doesn't look round, but everthing else matches Keek"s CAD....great attention to detail!

In fact, look at how close to the bottom of the spoiler the top of the tailight is in the CAD yet how much body panel is showing below the bottom of the spoiler on the teaser photo. Something doesn't add up.

Thanks...wish I could get more out of it but that is the first frame of that view on the video which pans left to right.

This may be a no-brainer but...
I note that the spoiler looks very flat to the rear fender while the hatch looks lifted a bit. So...my take is that the spoiler is not attached to the hatch but to the rear end before the hatch. Again, a no brainer but just another detail.

I think because it's a temporary glue-on light like the round led taillights. I believe the final third brake light will fill the tapezoidal black area on the spoiler.
