You do know there is headlight override option right?
And you described the "Carbon Edition" to a T.

As noted by a member on Digital Corvettes:
"...this is a Z06 with the Z07 Ceramic Brake package and the Carbon Fiber package, which gives the the black roof, front and side splitters and ZR1 spoiler. The Carbon Edition car has a painted top, ZR1 hood, without the window, black mirrors and the suede like interior."
I will ask Stuart to update the article, good read though and great pics none the less!

Editors note: Even the best of us make mistakes now and again. With that being said, it has been brought to our attention that the car pictured here is not in fact a Z06 Carbon Edition as we were originally lead to believe. Apparently the limited edition run of 500 cars will not begin production until later this year. According to our sources at Chevy, the main elements are…
1) Carbon fiber rockers and hood (CFZ option on the order sheet)
2) New “Z07″ chassis package — carbon ceramic brakes, chassis tuning and wheels and tires inherited from the ZR1
3) Commemorative Interior elements: Microfiber suede accents, special sill plate
4) Carbon fiber roof panel
Items 1 and 2 on the list above — accounting for most of the special edition’s functional elements – are available on any 2011 Z06 as optional equipment. That’s the car we drove and that you see represented here…essentially a Z06 with these new options and the Supersonic Blue paint. The actual Limited Edition car comes with those added commemorative elements (suede etc.) and starts production later this year. Please forgive us for the confusion.
