The front quarter panel has different camo and black tape around the plastic fender extention. This has me thinking we may see a different panel /gill.

looks like this car has the extra bumper openings to gulp some more air... hopefully it runs and stays cool and the heat soak issues are a thing of the past.
now, we need some factory replacement front bumper covers with a similar layout for the 15-17 z06's.

but it could also just be a seam to make the transition to the spats. After all, Tadge has stated they have a distinct design purpose.

The skirts, and the distance from the headlight to the fender looks proportional to the Z06. My guess is they will be the same.

The front grille and splitter looks amazing though, and I'll be excited if they are interchangeable. Same for wing.

Side vent angle looks a little different, but the photos are pretty blurry.

Guessing that red mirrors will be standard??? I say yes... then i consider the fact that it will likely have blue calipers and say no.

Probably not, I'm guessing it's just cause the car was originally red. There's been test mules without the red mirrors.

Looks like they opened up the front quite a bit to the point the front fenders look like they're flared to match the larger front bumper; almost dare I say like they did on the 17 ZL1.

Good to see the usual track suspects back on the forum I can see some of the guys on this thread to be the first to order ZR1 with extreme aero. This might Corvette respond to ACR, AMG GTR, GT3RS,...
