As usual FVS you are doing a great job. I do see a possible enhancement though. The rear wheel well edge to tire gap should be the same as the front wheel well edge to tire gap. Looking at a true side view of both Ferrari 488GTB or Pista, both wheel wells have the same wheel well space to tire gap. Also the rear wheel does not scale up to 20" vs 19" front.

secondly... the front wheel/tire,... just doesn't seem to fill the wheel well....

The design is baked. It's done. They're way past changing it. Those tail lights are the real deal. As confirmed by CAD drawings. We tend to refer to these test cars as "Mules" but that's not accurate. They're test prototypes. That's why they're heavily disguised.
Our job, with FVS's talent, is to discern what the damn things really look like. No guarantee any one of us will like what it is.

Look at the top rear fender line in this direct side view. Almost as flat as a carpenter's dream. There is no evidence of a big rainbow arch. None. Maybe it's there. But that is some heavy-***, well-secured cladding with super-taught cover over it.
It may be a coincidence it matches Pimp's admittedly flawed sketch.
im sure the vehicle is stunning underneath but from these photos..it’s less than appealing
id imagine the tires are the correct size and the camoflauge is just making them look too small for the vehicle..

I wasn’t saying lose the C7 lights because I don’t like them. Pimp described them and explained it based on the cad picture and they do not look like the C7. I sure can’t draw or do the magic FVS can with the computer but I did understand what pimp was trying to convey from the CAD. He even traced the outline on the CAD I believe. I have no stake in what the tail lights look like..... just trying to help
As Elegant posted the CAD image of the lights Pimp posted, you can see the outer shape of the "glass" but not the actual lighting elements so we have no clue of what these really look like. I feel the Camo cars lights are phonies or disguised a bunch.
I hope we start seeing some tarp off images soon!

Doesn’t anyone have a friend at a Tier 1 taillight manufacturer?

Just look at the side view of the mule I just posted. Look at the wheel height in comparison to the fender height. I think the criticism here is right and that you've exaggerated the height of the fender.
I really hate to criticize since I see you put so much work into this. But don't exaggerate the perspective so much. Stand back at a normal viewing angle from a normal person. Not the view of a 4' tall person standing 10' away.
BTW I really like the idea of a satin bluish grey

the wheels Andy tires do look a bit undersized in this photo...hopefully the camoflauge is just making it look awkward for the size of the wheels and tires.

I watched Vehicle Virgin’s video from that track day, and it quickly made me realize that GM cannot make a hypercar. I hope they’ll have the carbon fiber tub and and crazy active aero down by the C9...
