Well, folks it looks like it may have been up to the dealership whether or not this particular item was actually installed on the car.
And yes, I've got the Window Sticker (Monroney Label) and there is no mention of this part.
After sending an inquiry to the salesman that we purchased the car from it turns out that the carbon splitter was an additional factory option.
If you go to NewGMParts.com then drill down to http://www.newgmparts.com/auto-parts...nts-front-scat
part #20 19256909 VALANCE PANEL Z06, ZR1, 427 & GRAND SPORT $1,163.33

Just got my Blacksrone oil analysis back, no issues noted at 6300 miles. A little high on silicon and iron, no issues on cobalt or titanium, they feel high values on the two are break-in. Will do again this fall. Car starts right up, no oil consumption, pulls great.

Great news man, thanks for the update. A friend of mine just had the 427 replaced in his 2013 with 5720 miles on the odo, the bearings on numbers 1 and 2 rods were spun. The drained oil looked like orange metal flake paint. The side of the rod caps appeared as though someone had held them against a grinder stone. He is not a forum member but his vin number is about 50 after yours.

Thanks, will get it done again in the fall.

I have the template for a stock Corvette hood when installing the 427 emblems (like the Cooksey Edition). My question is if the template is the same for the 427 hood. I then realized all 427 convertibles come with the emblems already installed so no template is used.
If you wouldn't mind doing the measurements and then a pic of a close up of your emblem and hood, that would be greatly appreciated.
Black above tape measure is the hood stripe.
Start of tape is at the center of the hood. In both pics the hood ends next to windshield on the right.

Anyone know what RPO Code I-13 Engineering Model is?
Hey fellows nearly done with my '66 restoration looking to get something little more daily friendly. Found a clean 2013 427 Convertible but can't seem to find any information on the code I-13. If anyone has any knowledge it would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vette
Thanks,

Getting the itch to sell the GS and looking at C6 Z06's and 427 Verts ( the Vert mostly because of the almost perfect weather in Ventura everyday) and not remotely interested in a C7 due to the looks but my question is...
At highway speeds or any other speed, does the middle of the Rag Top tend to pull upward and appear round or does it maintain the same look as if it were parked?
I have had GM rag tops before and going down the road it appears the top is bowing upward.
Thanks

Interior road noise might be more of a challenge to check out. Best of luck!

C6 Vert tops are fitted very tight to the frame, at least from the factory. I too have seen the configuration that you're speaking of, but not on a C6! You might be better served to road test with a friend following you.
