Z51 aero package
What exactly is included in the Z51 Aero Package? Is the full length rear spoiler only available with this package? If not, how can I get the spoiler without Z51 and what will it cost? I can't seem to find this info anywhere, but figured a CF member would know! Thanks

Included with the Z51 is the full length rear spoiler that replaces the small rear CHMSL with a body colored full length spoiler with integrated CHMSL.
RPO 5ZU us a dealer installed Z51 style full length rear spoiler available as a genuine Corvette accessory (GCA). I do not recall having seen preliminary pricing for this optional spoiler.

I wouldn't recommend the z51 spoiler for 550 dollars when the entire z51 package with 19/20 inch rims,dry sump oiling system, different gearing in the transmission etc are available for 2800 dollars.
Trust that the resale is so much easier with z51...
Its crazy that the entire package is 2800 dollars...its the best deal on the c7...

Painted Calipers ($600)
Chrome Wheels ($2,000 + 4 Standard Wheels)
Museum Delivery ($1,000)
Competition Seats w/ Suede ($2,500 + 2 Standard Seats)
BTW: How many guys are going to re-paint their calipers? How many will buy Caliper Covers?
BTW: I ordered Chrome Wheels AND Museum Delivery on mine.

Worst Deal on the C7? The Selectable VIN ($5,000) of course. But there are several honorable mentions;
Painted Calipers ($600)
Chrome Wheels ($2,000 + 4 Standard Wheels)
Museum Delivery ($1,000)
Competition Seats w/ Suede ($2,500 + 2 Standard Seats)

painted calipers for $600 is not a bad deal. Looks better than covers, and taking calipers off to have them painted/powder coated is a PITA not to mention the downtime on the car. Had to do that with my C6, wont do it again. So if I don't get a Z51 with black calipers, I will take this option to get red.
$100 even $200 would be a much more appropriate price.
If you look at the carbon flash mirrors and spoiler option, it is only $100.

Wow.....Museum Delivery is now $1,000? That is pretty heavy given that you still have to pay for the standard delivery charge. Its been almost 6 years since I did my buyers tour AND NCM delivery. I think I would skip NCM delivery and just do the buyers tour and watch it being built....then take delivery at the dealer.

So Chevy has a high margin on this option. Doesn't bother me.
