Default Question on Grand Sport Trim

I'm searching for a 2010-2013 Grand Sport and notice a variety of trim changes between them.
Why do some 2013 GS have black trim and others chrome trim on the top of the front fender side scoops?
Why are some of the factory small stock rear spoilers black and others are painted the body color?
Did the 2013 GS 60th Anniversary come with the the full length rear spoiler? Seems from what is on the market.
It doesn't seem to matter if it is a 1,2,3 LT.

Thanks for the help!

I have a 2012 3LT GS. The Black GS Fender Badges were a factory option. My window sticker shows them as $100 option. Also, for example, I have Red Calipers - $595, Crossed Flag seat trim on headrest - $300. Dual mode exhaust was also an option - $1195, as was Chrome Rims - $1995. My car had the small black rear spoiler but I replaced it with the color matched full width spoiler. I'm not sure if that was a dealer option or factory option, but many added this after purchase. I'm not sure about the 13 GS 60th anniversary though.

Also, the 3LT was $5995 option.

Thanks so much! There's some answers. Looks like GM options you to death on the C6.

2013 60th Anniversary edition GS has the full length spoiler. I believe it is included in the package.

But that's not the GM 'Full Length' spoiler on the photo above. The Full Length spoiler goes straight across on the top (without that dip in it you see on the photo above.

The spoiler on the photo above is a 'ZR1' style spoiler.

Thanks - didn't know that.
So, on the GS 60th Anniversary edition - the ZR1 spoiler was included in the package.

Yes, I've got the same model & spoiler & stripe.

Here are my notes, most of which probably came form other postings here:

60th Anniversary Design PackageCelebrate Corvette's rich heritage with the 60th Anniversary Design Package, which includes:

Arctic White exterior, complemented by Diamond Blue leather-wrapped interior trim
Blue-stitched sueded microfiber steering wheel, shifter and parking brake
Blue top for Convertibles
ZRl style full-width spoiler, also in Arctic White
Dark Gray Metallic brake calipers
Body-color door handles
60th anniversary logos on seats, special badging on the steering wheel and special wheel caps
The package does not include stripes unless you order it with the available
60th Anniversary Stripe Package (RPO 230).

On 427 Convertibles, it requires available Cyber Gray Metallic headlamp color override (RPO H33) and the Carbon Fiber Package.
This package is not available with the Color Combination Override, Grand Sport Heritage Package or 427 Heritage Package."
There were 400 GS coupes produced with the Z.25 package and of those 400, 355 were produced with the 230 stripe package.
The 427 convertible for 2013 was actually called the "427 Convertible Collector Edition”

Thanks, good info...the stripe package is actually identified as Z30
Here's a good link for 2013 numbers but no break down on the 60th Anniversary models - just total numbers including all.

I agree, a 13 GS with the Anniversary package will have a ZR1 style spoiler. Normal 13 GS' may have the cute little spoiler.

To answer a few questions. 2012-2013 models could have been ordered with option BA5 this was black fender badges for the grand sports, stock was chrome. T43 was the code for the ZR1 style rear spoiler in body color. All grand sport convertibles came with the black factory Z06 style brake light spoiler as standard { taller and slightly wider than reg C6}
The full length Racing Spoiler was a GM Factory accessory to all C6 Corvettes. I think this was the part number 20921725
2010 Gransports had no seat upgrades, 2011 had a revised headrest only, 2012-2013 "new" style seats with revised seat backs and extra cushion bolsters.

The "straight across" spoiler has the factory option code 5v5. My option sticker shows it.
