Look down the middle of the hood, you see a distinct line. Fake panel obviously covering the front hood. I pointed this out when the car was at the Nurburgring.
I point this out again because many of you don't realize that there are at least 10 of these fake panels all over these mules. Hood, doors (in at least 2 different locations per door), scoops, rear quarters, quarter panels windows on hardtop and vert, rear window covers, etc.
This thing is highly concealed by super thin panels that misdirect everything.
Further, these camouflage guys (from what I have recently heard from my source) have even possibly been using mounting spacers for certain elements of the car to do stuff like make the headlights appear to sit taller than they do on the production car, etc. He said it was only rumor, not even first hand knowledge himself. Easy to wrap that and make it look seamless I suppose. If you look at the C8.R the headlights don't appear to stand up so much like they do on the street cars. Maybe the guy is right. Could be BS too.
I'm still surprised how tall the car is for a ME. It has a lot of vertical real estate over the wheel wells like the C7. I would have expected it to be lower/sleeker, but I guess that gives you frunk depth and in the rear room for a trunk in the very far back.

Looks good to me. Maybe they don't want to be scraping the bottom on every bump that they hit.

Given what we see here and from the other front view pic it looks to me that the ME’s frunk Is not very big front to back if that yellow line I drew is along the leading edge of the frunk gasket. And there appears to be a white washer solution tank with cap.
That's also the back part of the frunk that you highlighted in the picture as you can see they are storing some sort of cover in front of it where the actual frunk is.

Even if so, that is a very narrow, front to back frunk.
There will be a trunk at the very rear like the Acura NSX. Behind the motor and over top the rear end/trans etc. That's why the exhaust is down low and wide.

I believe that the camo guys are that clever. They've done a fantastic job at concealing every aspect of the design that they can. Small details can make major changes in the look of the car, especially when dozens of small details are altered.

I'm curious. Let's go down the rabbit hole. I see the line across the hood. Show me more and what do you feel they are hiding?

That NSX trunk isn't too bad. I could live with that, and it appears to be about the same size as the C7 convertible, with the top down. You can get more room in the C7 vert with the top up by unsnapping the partition that separates the folded top from the rest of the trunk.
It also looks to me the C8 mule butts look much larger than the NSX, so perhaps there's more room in the ME.
