Default Stupid question

I can't find this for some reason. I just bought a '14 Z51 and it has a carbon fiber splitter and carbon fiber runners on the sides of the car under the doors. What option was that? I don't see it on other Z51's

If it's a 14 probably will be used, that means previous owner installed them to it. Just enjoy them!!

Then the skirts and splitter are not GM source accessories.

These are all aftermarket. There are some stock Z06 parts floating around but none on the base/51 cars.

They can be nice to have as far as paint protection goes. I'd leave them unless they were installed poorly.

no, they are beautiful. I thought I remembered seeing these were an option for the regular stingray in '14 but then not in 15 and 16.

Nice to have them on the car - both for looks and side protection. Congrats on getting your C7.

I added the side skirts to my car for looks and protection also. They do a great job stopping road debris of all kinds. And that's a good thing in farm country!
