Not as cool as the new HD video, but still new. And very HD.

Nice eye candy of a different nature. Thanks Chaz!

The shape of the scoop seems more defined in this shot. It also seems to go much closer to the read wheel well than in other spy photos/videos.

Clearly visible. But it can also be a deception so we can't see what the real fascia shape is like. I also see what appears to be large air inlet ducts to the left and right of the center. That impression may be due to forward movement while the wind resistence is pushing the camo into those ducts, ultimately outlining the shape.

Chaz,

Amazingly good looking in green. However, any spoiler needs to be body color IMO. The black looks very “tacked on.”
Another thought, the leading edge of the scoop, not black, but perhaps a different shade of the body color.

Yeah... because this is the car as I posted earlier in the thread... we've seen the nose detail clearly at the ring. The gaping fish mouth is finally gone! It's further evidenced by the leaked CADs showing a very deep frunk and the horns mounted in the center under the impact absorber.

dream616, thanks for showing the two ME’s with different scoops. I let out a scream of happiness when I noticed this a little while back. Chazcron’s stuff is off the charts but his side scoop is gruesome. This is torture GM.

Looking nice Chazcron,well done.
They’re seems to be some evidence,of the scoop being more rearwards (closer to the back tire)

I personally believe it’s more rearward ,I also believe they’re going to send a good portion of that scoop cooling to the rear rotors.

What are your thoughts ?
Thanks

P.S
Lets make green great again...(maybe darker?)

Any such spoiler looks tacked on, body color or not.....looks like crap. I wish GM would get past the 70's spoiler mentality.

Another thread posted pics that show a different scoop, or maybe just damaged. Looks like the top edge of the scoop is missing.




Some camo fell off or ??

It's going to look like this. Get used to it.

Hey, at least they painted the calipers!
Rears don’t look huge.

rear fenders look a bit more shapely.

Better call the Aria designers and tell them your armchair wind tunnel tests prove their side intakes are all wrong.

Did I learn NOTHING? I've always know my headlights blow, but I can't be sure of anything from the new pix except the sequential rear turn signals (not shown). You can't really tell, but I pushed out my hood strakes and adjusted the width again. I have a reference ready to go for the center grille insert, but I will be out of town all weekend. Hope you all have a good one.
