Geeze ........ The gap where the spoiler meets the hatch is just too much. Darn thing looks like one of those aftermarket add on types the dealers like to install with two sided tape.

Nothing more extreme than on my C6.
Just GM build quality and the acceptance level of gap significance I assume.

MikeyTX

Heh ........ I only have the base stock spoiler on mine so I really can't compair.

Spoiler gap looks ok from the rear. But the front on many of the test cars has a gap under the spoiler where the deck lid dips down at the corner of the rear window.

I hope they reduce the size of that big @$$ chrome emblem a little bit or will have to tint it with black chrome clear coat or paint it black.

Gap sucks, true, but those are the best pictures I've seen of the rear, for whatever reason.

That is the best close-up I have sen so can someone tell me what that is on the diffuser that looks like maybe two bolts and some small opening that run horizontal and then at the bottom there is a small square opening. It almost looks like they forgot to install something in those area, or what was ever there fell off.

MikeyTX

That is where the red reflectors go. And yes, they are missing for some reason on this mule.

MikeG37

Reflectors and the cap is missing where the tow hook screws in.

MikeyTX

Something that will hopefully never be needed.

I just noticed that the Vette Flags on that car are not colored. They are completely chrome.

MikeyTX

Yup ........... To my eyes it is ugly.

Saw the C7 at Detroit auto show. Looked stunning in person. They had it roped off so I couldn't get real close but the spoiler gap didn't look bad from the back but from our vantage point looked really bad from the other side

Good call. But I think it is a pre-production problem. These mules are hand built . I have seen C6 mules at Mid America and they are not show quality. Again IMO

Ok, can't take this any more. "Stunning"? I have never heard any car person, ever, use the word "stunning". Red carpet at the Oscars, yes, new tea set at Macys, maybe. Cars are outrageous, bad ***, awesome,
hot, menacing, bold, or even bitchin. Not "stunning". And while we are on it, transmissions are trans, not trannys.

The whole rearend looks aftermarket.

typical gm pieces already falling off

What company do you admire?

falco84

Seems like 95% of the people here cannot comprehend that a pre production test mule isn't the final product. Chrome emblems that haven't been colored? OH NO. Pieces missing? OH NO. Gaps? OH NO.

In my opinion, the spoiler is the only significant design disappointment on the C7 exterior. The engineering reminds me of the 1986-1990 C4 CHMSL, which was bolted onto the halo panel. It is now 2013 and for a newly -designed, high end sports car, the spoiler should either be an integral part of the adjacent bodywork or made a delete option as is done with other vehicles. No matter how small the resultant cut line, the effect is one of cutting corners for the sake of cost.
