Default Grill Question

What is the stock grill for the C7? Is there a different grill for the Z51 package? I saw an option for a cyber gray grill, what does that look like? Does it have the chrome?

Inquiring mind here and I'm looking hard at the C7. Why leave the money for the kids to spend when I can spend their inheritance for them!

If ya'll have pictures of the grills and what the option is to get your grill, I'd sure appreciate it.

Both base grills look the same with or without the Z51.
The Cyber gray option paints the black on the grill gray. The chome remains the same. The build your own option on the chevy site shows both.

I have a 4 step plan

Step 1 Get trade-in estimate ---->Done
Step 2 Talk to Financial adviser and figure money ----->(2 or 3 days)
Step 3 Take a Xanax and talk to wife. (Pending)
Step 4 Order car. (Pending)

Step 3 has possibilities of being formidable!

I just came back from the Pennsylvania Auto Show, Harrisburg Pa. They have one Stingray coupe on display with Z51 package, was hoping for a convertible but no luck. I noticed that the grill cants slightly, rearward at the bottom, really looks good. The interior feels like my C6 did, entry/exit ease about the same. I'm really going to like this car.

Any chance you could get the wife to take the Xanax? Might give better results.

You know, they always say its easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission.

But, back in the real world, I know exactly what you are saying.

The Z06 has a completely different grille and looks to be interchangeable with the base/Z51 grille if you want to change it out after the Z06 is released next year.

It has a different mesh pattern and does not have the chrome bar.

I personally prefer Slappy's Bar and Grille in Savana, GA. Ask for Diana, sweetest waitress this side of the Mississippi!

youre going to need 2 xanax if your discussion goes the same way mine did. quote: "thats the dumbest looking car i ever saw. it looks like batmans car. why would anyone ever buy something like that?" end of discussion. i then went out to order it, having been pre-medicated for my discussion with the dealer.
