Two things with C N, I find his avatar interesting and worth a second look and his posts have really added insider style excitement to the forum. His stuff can be as good as a hit movie trailer.
Back in 2012-2013, we had Keeks and that connection was very exciting and even though we had way more stuff (accurate sketches and cads of the C7), it was still a wonderful mystery. It we were to see something today, something as simple as an actual taillight it could make a Corvette person's day. When the C8 is stark naked on a Home Depot parking lot and we are physically alone with it, everything changes and we enter a new phase in Corvette life. Fun, but it just won't be as exciting.

Or the airflow splits within the scoop. Essentially a scoop within the scoop.

Could be a support to hold the camo in place.

This vid has me perplexed. I’d planned no spoiler on my C8 but that C8 back end without one looks nowhere as good as my C7 with just the small raised spoiler in the middle. It breaks up what otherwise is a straight line clear across the rear end. Please, let me be wrong or at least offer a good spoiler option.

Looks like it has a little lip across the whole rear. Possibly active?

And that would/could explain it. But when I’m behind a Porsche with it going about ~35mph I laugh when I see one popping up at that speed.

I think I speak for all of the overgrown children on this forum when I thank Corvette (Save the Wave) Nut for these frontline pics. Very exciting stuff.

These are exciting times- The camo on the C8 could really hide a lot. Pic above is the Ginetta Akula.
