Keep it. Best of both words an a combo you can't buy (intentionally).

Hi, I would ask for the black spoiler and store it in your garage. When/if you sell the car down the road the new buyer will have a choice which spoiler to put on. The red looks nice but the new buyer may prefer it to be the correct color black.

GM...how about some accountability???? Something is very wrong at Bowling Green. You have to laugh a little after seeing and hearing all the marketing about how the C7 is all about "PRECISION" in the latest marketing campaign.

I can't understand how this one got by the blind quality control people at Bowling Green? I can't help but to wonder what else the guys in the final quality control / inspection booth at the end of the production line missed? How can anyone trust them to find a small paint blemish if they did not notice the mismatched black mirrors and red rear spoiler on this car? Heads need to roll if someone is not doing their job and quality control need to go up in Bowling Green asap if they do not want to damage the brand's image with potential new customers.

OP, maybe leave it as-is for now. It looks OK and you will have a unique story to tell. Or maybe ask them to give you the black rear spoiler and red mirrors so you have both in the future. Just document what ever you do. GM will probably see this tread and notice some people would order this combo and end up charging for the option in the future? Haha. Great looking color, enjoy the car!

The Car would look better with the Black spoiler. Also, I agree with the above. GM QC=. Glad I am waiting for the third MY to buy. A better Car. And, hopefully GM will gets it's act together. Well, at least, a little more together.

musclecar6

I agree.

AORoads

that's what I'd do.

OP said the carbon flash mirrors and spoiler were listed on his "order sheet", but are they listed on the window sticker and in the "Special Build" box on the build sheet (will show as "TTV")?
There was another member, and I can't find the thread, who complained that GM didn't put an option he ordered on his car. Turns out the dealer didn't actually order it.

Yes Snorman it does shows the TTV on the MSRP $100 and my order sheet as well

Snorman

In that case, and if you want them, I would ask that the dealer remedy it.
My only reservation would be what needs to be removed to install the spoiler.

Another GM screw up... I love this car, but it's clear they're not used to offering this level of customization. Seems to be a fair amount of cars coming in with issues. Cars missing door sills, missing interior options, wrong transmissions, wrong wheels, stuff like the OP here.

MikeMaj82

If I got a black spoiler I'd have to change the wheels to black also. But that's just me.

MikeyTX

My take, keep it the way it is. I don't think I'd want the dealer unbolting anything that doesn't need to be unbolted. Plus, there is the issue of the two sided body tape that is also used. By now that stuff has had time to bond and set up. You have no idea the mess that adhesive creates when trying to remove it. Not worth risking screwing up the paint imho.

C7_Z06

BG production line screwed up first... and then QC missed it. That's a double-whammy, i.e. failure to follow SOP and failure of a quality check (or double verification) process. BG Mgt. should address this internally so that a repeat won't happen. A CAPA is needed. That's the bigger picture in this unanticipated issue.

You asked for opinions. IMO, black mirrors and spoilers look like you went to the local auto supply store and bought them as ad ons. Those in the know, know better, but again I think it looks cheap. You always find the "up graded" models of less expensive cars have mirrors (and spoilers if they have them) that are painted body color, not so for the "strippies". I know that I'm in the minority but, my C7 will get the black vents and diffuser painted body color and there will not be black wheels on mine. Again, they look, especially from a distance, like proper wheels were not affordable, and they do not compliment the beautiful car. Just my opinion.

I would a minimum get them to order the right spoiler and at least hand it to you....That is the least they could do for your inconvenience!..As far as the look I don't know ??If you had the black wheels I would say definitely have them out it on...but with the silver or chrome wheels( can't tell in pic)...it could go either way....btw the car is awesome looking!..

Another factory blunder...I am real disappointed in all these early reported screw ups after the big PR campaign to release these cars perfect!

theblackvette

I don't like it. Get what you ordered.

zland

I wish the spoiler was built into the car instead of a bolt on. OK, diagree, but it is a CF forum and my take is all of the spoliers look added on. Not saying it is bad, just saying it could look better if built in.

0-60B4U

Since it's a unique build error, I'd keep it! Either way, SWEET ride!

Goaty

I'd have the dealer change it. The mirrors and spoiler should match. This would drive me crazy but I am OCD. I wouldn't have taken delivery until this was fixed to my satisfaction.

Stingray23

Stuff like this should never happen. How do you forget to put the correct spoiler? Its not exactly a small item.
