Why is it that some Z06's come with front spoilers and some don't?
I have been looking at the few Z06's that have came in to my dealer and it seems like some have this black spoiler/lip and some don't. Am I missing something here?
This is what I am talking about:
Thanks

All Z06s are supposed to have the spoiler. I believe that it is installed at the dealer, so the ones you saw without them probably hadn't been installed by the dealer yet.

Oh ok, I did not know that. Hmmm, weird though that that does not come out of the factory like that. Any reasons to this??

Got me worried for a second. I thought it was a dealer choice or something. I really like the look of that black lip on there and just wanted to make sure as I have seen ~3 Z06's on the lot without them (In wraps, brand new).
Thanks for the prompt response, everyone..

yeah, the factory puts them in the car and the dealer installs them. mine was cracked though so i took delivery without the lip on.. they were pretty quick about getting a new one considering it is a new model. i installed it by sliding about 13 metal clips over holes in the bottom of the bumper, then screwing the lip to the clips with 13 screws. it was a PITA. i am guessing i will eventually trash the lip by scraping stuff and will have to do it again.. the part costs a bit over $100.

As an example, all NSXs came with spring spacers to increase ride height for loading/unloading. They had to be removed prior to delivery.

Now you have me worried. My car was delivered to my dealer and not touched until I arrived. I was there watching the pre-delivery inspection and no one touched the spoiler. I can tell you with certainty that is is one the car - I have cleaned it at least half a dozen times.
So how did it get there?

just be happy you did not have to install it. as long as your car didnt come with lots of "test" miles on it, i would not worry about it, be thankful someone put it on there for you.
