It proves that already your first observation was incorrect and you missed my point again.
Time to move on and not waste anyone elses time here.
Lets hear from the others on their thoughts.

Anyone noticed the bottom of the grille opening is blacked out?? I was hoping that an a/m company would produce a decal to black out the bottom and sides of the grille opening as sometimes the opening seems small because, I guess, they want less drag. Blacking that area out would also make the grille and headlamps harder to see, giving the area more of the '67/'68 RS look, in a way.
I love that chin spoiler blacked out like that, but they should leave the bottom of the lower grille connected with color. IThe blacked out chin reminds me of the big DubCity R/C car from Wal-Mart
The fog inlet area is retarded. The wheels looks pretty nice from the side view in the pic, but it looks like just another variation of the Monte Carlo/Impala/CobaltSS(blown, not hair dried) one's. I hope the production ones have some nice options with rims that have some DETAIL to them.

It would seem that someone spent some time at HSV and adopted one of their worst styling cues with those blacked out fog panels. I love what HSV does, but that styling trait stinks generally - even moreso on the Camaro.
Like the scoop though.

I have no great knowledge of Transformer history, but doesn't Bumblebee have some sort of evil twin? Could a good number of the styling changes be a result of this being a Decepticon....
-Black intake
-Black stripes (nothing similar on any spy shots)
-Dark inserts on the rims
-Dark Red Bowtie
Just a thought... but, I definitely think the hood scoop could be production spec
