Default C6 Trivia Question

One round/one question trivia game! Ok, let's see what you know about your Vette. The photo below is a 2010 Grand Sport. Something in the photo is not the way the car is delivered from the factory. What is it?

The GS hash marks dont leave the factory on the car, they are dealer installed

Well....that is correct...but not the answer I was looking for! Although I guess if there were prize money involved, you'd be the winner!

I'll give a small clue (hopefully not just give it away):

The part I'm referring to is on the car...just not installed properly!

Unless they changed it on the GS my 05 has the calipers in the same position as the picture.
I can't spot the defect.
