Not hideous but I hope the front bumper and side intakes are different which I believe they will be. I am pretty sure they will look a bit better and that Z06 models will look more aggressive as well.

Ya, the front bumper is a complete mystery because there's no way to tell what the vent shape is or where the color-blocking will happen
On the front fascia, there is a horizontal lip running from the lip below the side radiator intake grilles just above the black splitter across the fascia that is not shown on your rendering. There are two "fangs" present, like on the C7, that are not clearly shown on you rendering.
Also you left off the passenger side rear view mirror.
No way of telling on the camo cars, but the front fascia shown in the spray booth photo does have a center opening for a grille. It's possible that the grille opening is closed off on the production car behind the grille itself(no flow of air through it) so, on the camo cars, The two exposed small grilles are most likely to allow air to pass through the larger grille to supply air to the front brakes. Possible that the camo covered center on the front of the camo cars could be a fake sheet of plastic to hide details of the front, if , in fact, the center of a grille is blocked behind the grille on the production car. I believe this is possibly true as behind the center of the fascia is the frunk, and no radiator is present to need airflow thru a decorative center grille.

Otherwise I believe you have nailed it.
This more accurate? I never saw the spray booth photo! Can someone paste a link?
This photo better shows the horizontal lip that I'm referring to, that is part of the front fascia molding. Notice that it is quite pronounced as are the C7 style "fangs"(to meet the European regulations). This particular car does not have the separate black splitter installed under the lip, as does the other car in the photos.

Also notice that the hood's "power bulge" extends over onto the top of the front fascia, like the 1963-1967 Corvette "power bulge" did.
IMO they are trying to clear up a few issues noted and complained about the C7. Two are: 1) The front Amber and rear Red reflectors stuck to the sides and unlit. 2) The obvious issue with the GM solution for front plate mounting. #1 looks to have been solved with the front amber marker within the headlight assembly and the red marker in the wrap around taillight. Both now will be lit (day and night?) thus better observed than relying on reflection. #2 I suspect with the what is shown below with two (four?) very small recesses in the facia center to mark the mounting position.
It’s notable to me how close in height to width proportions the ME is to the C7 when observed from directly in front. With the shorter distance from the ME’s leading bottom edge of the windshield and the front facia leading edge when compared to the C7’s being much longer, I’m not concerned that the ME’s front will appear too tall. It’s just right. Check out this overlay.
Not going to have the entrance of the side vent as part of the door. Looks nice when the door is closed but what a monstrosity to get by when the door is open. Really susceptible to damage when opening in parking lots and would also make it much harder to get out of the car due to not being able to get the door open far enough with that big broken wing looking thing sticking out of the side of the door.
Move the vent opening back to the quarter panel and have a normal door and you will be very close to the actual product.
