Default Stingray Front End........Corrected?

I finally got a few pics of my Z51 with the Z06 grille and front splitter installed. I normally don't like adding parts to a car from another Vehicle in the lineup, but I'm sure glad these parts from the Z06 are available and fit the Stingray, and are priced right. These things are a must for the Stingray imo. Here's a few pics. Car is also lowered on stock bolts. Thanks gmpartsdirect for the splitter, cultrag for the grille, and C7Jake for breaking the news to us about the splitter.










First Day Home, chrome retainer didn't make it 12hrs.

My Z06 grill is here but the front splitter is still on back-order. The Z06 front splitter is so popular it should be listed on the next constraint report.

Looks like I will be ordering a Z06 grille once my splitter comes in.

Beautiful car. It looks like you did not become a member of the "orange peel club". Wish my paint looked that smooth. Best of luck with it.

My car was in qc for a while. Maybe they hooked me up and buffed it good.

Looks sweet and it looks like you do not need the side skirts to get a good look. I was surprised to see from the side, the bottom of the splitter was no lower than the bottom of the rocker. I installed the Z06 grille, now its time to get the splitter.

Thanks for posting.

No need for skirts. Remember the stage 1 Z06 doesn't have side skirts either. I prefer the look of a C7 without sideskirts. I personally think they detract from the deep body contour on the side.

Rockers compliment the splitter
