The left side script is wonky. Compare to pics of real one in "Similar Items" section just below. Bad knock off.

It is very matte. Not that I should have expected any different as the manufacturer calls it a Matte Engine Cover. LOL.

I spray some silicone detailer on it to give it some shine.

Well, it arrived in a completely different color, damaged, and without the highlighted Corvette scripture.

Just saw this. That is why I said last time , I will wait till a Canadian company sells it in Canada or it is built in Canada. I do appreciate the advice.

If you don't buy a Genuine GM replacement, you will void your warranty. Just saying...

I don't know about that, but I'd buy a take-off and paint it myself. Best of both worlds.
