If you're referring to tinting the small quarter glass, that glass is already blacked out as a solid sheet piece as seen on many of the mules that show the camo peeled back. In fact, if you were to tint the door glass black, the appearance will be one of having an "A" and "C" pillar with the "B" pillar hidden .... Uh, ... kinda like the Camaro.

Everything lines up perfectly with the frames that were shown. The vents, the quarter glass ... All comes to plain view, although this render doesn't show the quarter panel vents.

Nice info and pics, but... does anyone else find it very strange that these past two days someone new has come to the forum with information? This guy just joined today, and the GM marketing guy from yesterday just joined then too. 
Is the General on here leaking stuff?

Yes GM uses this site to "leak" info....
I wonder how the roof panel is going to fit in the trunk...from this photo it seems the opening is smaller than the c6..
Anybody else notice the bottleneck?

The upper body panel and hatch will play a role in the airflow. This piece is UNDER the bodywork. It would be the bottom/inside of the channel that is completed by the vent and outer body. The color renderings are older and not as accurate. Look at the manual pages pic from the rear.
Edit; the RED rendering won't help. The silver will.

Not really. The hatch seems very wide at the rear/bottom.

Closed camo near top vent?
