Missing door sills?

My C7 has the cut outs for the sills but they are not present? Are they not standard for the 1lt package? Thanks!

Did you order the upgraded ones? The standard should be installed. If they're actually missing, make the dealer get you the Stingray ones instead of the Corvette ones

I did not order the stingray ones and the dealer said those are on back order 2-4 weeks

I think the corvette sills come standard on any package. I have the Stingray sills on order with my dealer as well.

You should have received the "Corvette" sills.

This is such an obvious visual thing I don't see how the factory missed this. Not acceptable. What happened to the quality control ?

I'm the first one to cut someone some slack, but that's pretty sad.

My God after all that they send the car with a parts shortage? That is crap QC how could you miss them? unless someone stole them in Nashville but I doubt that. Then you have to I wonder what else might be "missing" yikes!

I've a 1LT and it comes with door sills that say corvette. Do you have pics? Not that I don't believe you but I'm just curious what it looks like without the sills
