Default Z06 Front Winglets

On my 02 Z06 owner's video it shows a Z06 being flogged on a racetrack.

I want to know if anyone knows who made the winglets on the front end, they are real nice looking and they are not the ones that MidAmerica sells.

Thanks All.... :flag

I didn't see the winglets you are talking about but John Caravaggio sells winglets designed by John Cafaro. (Not sure if I spelled Caravaggio right)

Yeah - I noticed this too - it is in the track time fottage. I think these are the winglets that were rumoured to be coming before the Z06 public introduction. I would like to get a set of these too - I wonder if the part exists in the GM parts database - maybe Ken Fitchner can look into this for us. I think that you would probably have to drill holes though. Anybody else have any ideas where to get them. They were supposed to be for extra downforce at the track. Originally the rumour was that they were supposed to be an option but then the option never appeared. Some people even reported seeing the option briefly when the first orders were going in. Wonder if that video footage is a hold over from the '01 - alot of the other fottage was.

I don't think they do anything to add to downforce, I think that they just puch more air into the brake ducts.
