Default Added New Stage II Wickerbills and Z06 Console Lid

I received my Stage II Wickerbills and Console Lid last night. Such an improvement and such an easy DIY.


With that said...when I figure out how to use ebay..I will post on the parts for sale forum a new OEM Z06 console lid and my used Stage I Wickerbills. The OEM console lid come in the same time my Z06 lid came in so it was never installed. The wickerbills are not perfect but in great shape.

Looks good. really toughens the car up.

i just bought the stage II rear as well. getting the stage I off was a pita! of course i was lucky enough to have them put on at the plant (i assume) with the double sided tape.

a little denatured alcohol on a rag pulled the glue off but that was after i spent 20 minutes with wd40 on a rag. idk what i was thinking

Can you tell me where you ordered the Z06 center console lid?
How hard was it to install?
Awaiting my Z06 order to be picked up by the factory!

Is your interior black or dark Gray?

Thanks!

I want to do the wickerbills on mine as well. What splitter are you using? I would like to use the GM CF one. How much further does it extend and how much more intrusive is it when nogotiating speed bumps? Looks awesome

The console lid literally took 45 seconds to install. It only contains 3 screws and the whole piece just sits right on the hinge. I ordered it on the 12th and recieved it a few days ago from C6 performance parts. The console lid (GM part) is awesome but I was not impressed in C6's customer service. Mainly bacause I could not actually get someone on the phone for several days. If you are willing to wait a couple weeks, then they are okay to go with but maybe I just caught them on a busy week.

I have a 2015 Z06. The interior color code says Jet Black ...which is more like matte black or dark gray. My interior color says Jet black/code 191 or 19I. I was also confused about whether I should get a black or gray one but the GM rep stated that if your color code says black, then order black and not let my mind wonder too much. Good call because its a perfect match.

My Z06 has the cheap plastic splitter that scrubs everything. I am in the market for the side rockers and front splitter with stage 3 deflectors. I really like the ACS Zero7 but not feeling the price. I guess you have to pay to play.

Have you researched the splitters yet? Is yours painted? It looks much nicer than my stock stage 1 splitter. Is one manufacturer more functional or effective than the others GM vs APR vs ACS? My car will see track time and quarter mile
