... The option is delayed right now. When the option becomes available it will not be factory installed, it will be shipped to the dealer and installed there

That's what I had heard, but didn't want to spread the wrong info.

Almost all pictures of the C7 show the spoiler. I thought it was standard equipment. I am not ordering the Z51 and spending thousands extra for a factory installed spoiler and other sh-t I do need or want. Well that's more money I have to **** away.

It is your choice. Actually there are many who like the look of the Stingray and do not like the look of the Z51 option. It is a great choice.

This mean you can't order Z51 without spoiler install?

Dang, in this instance I prefer the smaller brake light spoiler. Looks "sleeker" to me. The C6 I prefer the "Z51" spoiler.

Well last couple of years, you could order the ZR1 style spoiler (installed at the factory) for $350 and the Full Width spoiler for $405 (dealer installed) so, I suspect around $425 for the C7 Z51 spoiler dealer installed. Don't know why that it can't be a factory installed separate option.

Probably later in the C7 model run, like with the C6
