Default Exterior Differences on 2015 Base?

Are their any exterior differences in the 2015 base C7 than what was on the 2014? I'm not informed enough to know, but to the naked eye I don't see any.

If it's Shark Grey or Orange then it's more than likely a 2015.

Other than new colors, I was wondering about exterior changes.

What are you trying to accomplish? There are a few other things you can look for to tell if it's a 2015.

There are no exterior BODY changes to the 2015's, other than 2 new colors (Shark Grey and Daytona Orange). There are new wheel options also.

Jimmy
and new badge options (which, of course people with 2014s have already switched out as well) and, eventually, body color and shark grey vents (not yet available IIRC)

From a distance, just colors.

As far as differences you can tell by looking closer at it.

It's gonna be a bitch for people 20 years from now to walk around a car show and show off their Corvette model year prowess

Also on the instrument cluster below the fuel gauge the 2014s have
the older C6 stylized "corvette" logo but the 2015s have been updated
to match the C7 stylization on the engine covers, door sills, and rear
badge. and the odometer no longer has the leading zeros.

The main difference is that the 2015 models make the 2014 models the previous year model and worth less..

some 2015 customers may opt to have their vents body colored.

Don't forget the CFZ option. If optioned, will make a 2015 stand out from a 2014. Unless 2014 owner installed an aftermarket body kit or got CFZ installed by dealer.
