Yes, I was fortunate enough to acquire a Z06 grille for my C7! 
I left home for family vacation last Thursday, which, of course, was the same day that my new grille arrived at my office. We returned home late this evening and, after unloading the SUV, I headed to the office to open the box that was waiting there for me! Unfortunately, I have to leave again in the morning to head to St. Louis for a wedding that I am singing at, so I won't be able to install it until I get back. Here are a couple of pics for now. I will post pics of it installed as soon as I put it on.
INSTALLED!

I messaged the seller and asked if he was going to have any available in the near future. He emailed me right back and said he was about to put one on eBay. So I jumped on eBay, typed in "2015 Z06 Grille" and hit the search button. Kept hitting refresh until it came up and then snagged it!

First, thanks for posting the part number, that's helpful for all of us.
Second, I hope I made the guy a good enough offer that the next one will be going to me...

It uses the same attachment points as our stock grille. 
Really? Wow! That sucks! Keep looking...you never know!

Haha, I just sent you a funny PM as you were writing that. I know it's slim to none, but you know I have to try. 
Gave the eBay guy some incentive to 'look harder' as well.

Eh... think it over and see what would make it worth your while before deciding. If nothing else, enjoy it.
Had to cast my reel out there since the circumstances just happened to line up so well.

Um... This seems like an interesting twist.....
Those are made less than 10 minutes away from me, I kid you not. Just back-traced the manufacturing plant.
Small world!

The thought had occurred... The proper wording, however, has not yet come to me.
"Pardon me, but I need to inspect a specific one of your tens of thousands of different grilles for 'quality control'."
Watch me wind up in a police chase on the news in a white Bronco with a Z06 grille hanging out the window...
