I would say there is a VERY good chance this is the C7 bumper...
Says C6, but not a chance.

It has the lower fascia Chevrolet loves using on new launch products.

I'd say someone's going to get in trouble.

Someone screwed up haha.

OT a little but those molds must cost a fortune. I work for a small injection molding company and the molds we build are in the tens and sometimes hundred thousand dollar range but don't come anywhere near that in size and complexity. I would guess in the millions.

Probably 500,000-1,000,000 would be my guess.

:( Hopefully it looks better in person, I like some of the lines - I guess, I don't know lol.

Proof that it is growing on me as we speak.

That is just the Corvette logo? Albeit it probably changed a bit.

Well, we managed to scare up a rip of the video, so it's back in our original news story...

Also, if you look at around 1:15 you'll see what I believe is a mold for the rear bumper, too.
