Judging from these photos, it seems like GM really improved the paint quality. Can anyone comment on this?

Not sure it's possible to tell that from small, compressed photos. But regardless, they do look sharp!

They are great. I used it this morning and was able to pull up to a curb within about 12 inches.

I was hoping the front camera alignment lines had been like the rears, as I have a lift in my garage and the width of the tires of my new z are right to the edge of the lifts runners. Zero margin for error. Maybe easier to back the car on the lift (if I stop opening the drivers door to check the alignment.

There isn't any way to adjust the alignment lines on the front camera, is there?
I think this might be by design. The potential impact radius for the front end when turning is probably wider than the rear end, so they extended the guidelines to account for this difference.

We had our Museum Delivery on July 16 for our 2016 Artic White Z51 Convertible. We were lucky enough to be the 1st Museum Delivery of a 2016 Corvette.
