Ceramic Frit Edge on C7...how many C7 emblems can you count?
I just noticed that the normal dot matrix ceramic frit edge at the top of the rear hatch glass is not so normal...it's a C7 emblem matrix! So how many C7 emblems will there be on this car!?

Ah I see now that's the glass not cf. Trying to tie the cf roof in to the hatch glass? Hopefully it scrapes off easy and there are not any defroster wires in that area. Or, maybe that feature won't make it into production.

I was right...At the NCM Bash today, I asked one of the designers about these and he said I was the first person not associated with the C7 design to ask about this! Then he said, "Next question...how many emblems are there?" To which I responded, "Depends on if you count the inverted ones!" "Correct!" he replied. I didn't count them...haha

Shows attention to detail and more thought going into design elements than some might think.
