Hi Ken,
when the note says that "Carbon Fiber Package (CFZ): Option no longer orderable "
does this mean, that it's not available for a while or not for the 2015 model year ?

Hello!

The CFZ package will not be offered for the 2015 model year based on the information just received.
The CFZ package are the painted ground effects package on the Z06. The CFV package is available. This package is required with the Z07 package and available without. This package includes the exposed carbon fiber finish versus the painted finish.

Thanks for the update Ken.
I assume that even though I ordered these on my 2015 Coupe over 8 weeks ago, the splitter/side skirts will not come with the car.

Exceptional experience working with Ken Fichtner from RimRock Auto Chevrolet.

FYI, folks I had dealt with Ken a couple of times and truly very happy with him:
1. When I bought my GMPP (as he is known as the King of GMPP :-)). His price is one of the best in the country, there is one guy that beat him by 1% but that guy lacks customer service, so it was a no brainer that I went with Ken.
2. I recently just placed a 2015 Corvette order from him and cannot be more satisfied.

In short compares to other dealerships, he is truly a class act, man of integrity, do what he said and do it right.

I am truly satisfied with my interaction with Ken and his wife Kathy, very highly recommended.

Give/Send Ken or Kathy a call or an email even just as a comparison. You will find out that their price is very competitive (if not the best) and the service is awesome.

Ken's email: kenfichtner@rimrockauto.com
Kathy's email: kfichtner@rimrockauto.com

Thank you again Ken and Kathy,
Victor

tambeng,
Thanks for your kind words and endorsement.
I sincerely appreciate your business!!

Chevrolet Protection Plan DOES cover the Magnetic Selective Ride Shocks!! And for that matter, the plan covers shocks on any car or truck on which we write the plan!

Ken
