I agree completely. Even though some people felt that wouldn't be a problem you KNOW it would happen! I also have my doubts as to how often you'd have to clean that window because you WOULD want it to be spotless!

So far ........
Using the visualizer, decided to not pay for factory painted roof or dorsal fins .... I will have them body wrapped after the fact. Factory option is too damn expensive imho.
I bet the aftermarket will have something for the convertible's engine cover before long. The OEM plastic engine cover is a big blank canvas just waiting to be modded.

I bet MikeyTX will cover his engine cover with a collection of his Avatars.

Mike if it makes you feel any better same option on Ferrari 458 was 12k . I had to pass and I also did a wrap and it looks great even 4 years later.

Imho, someone at GM is snorting Dollar General grade talc with the option prices. The cf interior option is a classic example. The aftermarket will provide better choices.
All we'd loose would be the red valve covers. Meh .......
Probably cheaper for GM to buy them all painted the same color than to buy, stock, and track two separate colors. So I suspect the HTC will have red valve covers, which I might see once a year. If I can be bothered to remove the cover and wipe down the engine compartment even that often.

Find an engine photo you like, have it printed on vinyl the same size as the engine cover, and you can show off whatever engine you like. V12 C8? No problem. Formula 1 Turbo V6? Have a ball. NASA plasma rocket engine? ROAR!

If they can save a nickel by making them black or even bare metal, you can bet they will.
