Noticed the C8 bumper cover does not have the embedded recess for the front emblem as the C7 had. Guess if it's ever removed, ...one will have to "eyeball" it and just wing it as far as perfect placement of the emblem goes! ... And lastly, ... Where's the rear emblem Chevy??? No rear emblem at all???
Because the uncovered Vettes are experimental models (early EARLY production).. not saleable preproduction. They were the models that had the camo and, as such, did not have emblems. Why go to the hassle of going back and badging them now?

The newer, saleable builds will all have badging.

Spyder is good. What will be the storage space penalty for the C8 Spyder vs. the C8 Targa?

Ferrari 458 reduced space was negligible, but 458 had zero aft storage.

Thoughts?

Orange is to bright to be Burnt Orange. The maroon is close.
That bright orange belongs to that other team
