Supersonic 427

I have had my Stingray for a year this month. Been very happy with the look of the car as I purchased it, however, I always liked the look of the Z51 even better. At the time of purchase Z51's were not discounted and most available were way over my budget. The ZF1 appearance pkg. didn't exist in January of '14.
In November I got a great deal on a set of OEM Silver Z51 wheels.($750) These came off a '15 with only 50 miles on them...the owner wanted and bought chrome wheels. I bought a set of TPMS sensors and nuts for them and also purchased a set of Michelin AS/3's from Tire Rack. I sold my base silver painted wheels and tires on Ebay.
I liked the look of the car with just the wheels, but felt the Z51 spoiler should be added to complete the package.
So, last week I found a used TR OEM Z51 spoiler on Ebay for $199.
I received it yesterday and installed it myself.

Very nice. Glad you didn't go black.

Looking good.

Look very nice. You're able to swap out the 18/19's for the Z51 19/20's with no issues? Not sure if the brakes or suspension would cause an issue.

Vetteman Jack

Love the new look. The Z51 wheels and spoiler really looks sharp on your car.

Nice install.....z51 wheels go on a base car fine, not the opposite though.....did .TPMS auto calibrate?

Supersonic 427

Yes, the TPMS's calibrated automatically.

alienranch

Much improved (I think black wheels would've been fine too though)

Supersonic 427

What I did, is essentially what the factory does for the ZF1 option (Z51 appearance pkg.) Z51 wheels and Z51 spoiler to the base car.

I'm still on the fence about the spoiler and wheels for my build.

dvilin

Big improvement.

Well your car looks really good! It's exactly a year ago today that I sold my C6 and ordered my C7. But I canceled the order after 4 weeks of not getting a work bench number & reordered the car from another dealer. I for one liked the Z51 looks but never was crazy about the tuning fork wheels. So I ordered a base with the spoiler and stock wheels then did the wheel exchange for the chrome ones and saved
$ 1100.00. On St. Patrick's Day I'll have my Stingray for a year. Wow!

rmorin1249

I agree. Wish the standard spoiler was body color. Not sure I like the small black one especially on a light colored car. The more I see the standard 5 spoke wheels the better I like them. I'm not really a chrome guy so will go with the painted silver wheels, just can't decide which one I like better.

awesome! very nice that you found a good deal on everything. what was your out of pocket cost compared to what it would have been for the ZF1 package?

Always Red Dave

Looks GREAT Gary I am surprised you just did not buy a new car! JK the car looks exactly like the ZF1 and you did it yourself!

Supersonic 427

Thanks Dave! Trying hard not to! Although that new Z06....lol!
