Default Aero Package on C7 ??

After seeing the new Z06 with the aero package I am wondering if I can order a Z51 C7 with the aero package (splitter and skirts) I really have held out until they were offered but unsure if the C7 Z51 can be optioned with them ??

I dont think they will be offered, but you can get them aftermarket.

I doubt they will be offered on the Z51s but there are some great aftermarket splitters and skirts out there now.

A lot of times, aftermarket beats factory intalled in my opinion. Just look at Caravaggio's D wheel... a work of art

I guess it is a point of view on price. If you consider the wheel is what you as a driver will be in contact with and see more than some of the other car components, its very reasonable considering the amount of work that goes into it.

People pay more for an exposed carbon fiber roof which looks the same from the inside of the car.

Agreed... not cheap but for many worth it.

Why would you want that stuff. The "aero" pieces on the Z06 look like ricer junk out of a JC Whitney Catalogue, YUK!

It looks like the splitter should fit, but the side skirts might be different due to the wider rear fenders. of course the splitter may not fit as they probably changed the front fascia just ever so little to ensure it doesn't. We will have to wait and see if the PN#'s are the same.

Can you two vendors please post links for your Aero Kits? I'm looking to order-I went to both sites but could not find them nor pricing.
