2016 C7 Option Code "5ZG"
Hello,
I've searched the forum and online quite a bit, but wasn't able to find what I was looking for.
Does anyone have actual photos of the 5ZG - OEM Carbon Fiber wheel center caps w/ crossed flags logo, which is an available option from the factory on 2016 C7's? I've ordered them on my 2016 C7 Z51 with the machined face wheels, but have no idea what they actually look like. I've seen ones online offered from other vendors, but not sure I've seen any pics of the OEM ones that come from the factory.
Anyone ordered these? If so, pics would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone ordered these on their vette? Curious to see how they would look on black or machined face wheels.

So yes, I paid an extra $60 to have them pre-installed from the factory, along with not having to deal with ordering them and installing them separately.
What's an extra $60 on an $80k purchase?

I ordered them for $210.00. On Ebay, they're $36 per cap, so it would be $144+ shipping, tax, etc.

also the satisfaction of knowing that GM didn't f'k you on at least one part of your purchase.

I believe they are dealer installed.
Why so negative? How about if we try to be positive and encouraging to a new Corvette owner?
OP: Congratulations on your new C7! Hope it brings you years of enjoyment!

Worry free and no big deal with 60 dollars, I would do the same.I ordered them for $210.00. On Ebay, they're $36 per cap, so it would be $144+ shipping, tax, etc.

Once again, if anyone has these center caps and can provide a few pics of them on a C7 (especially with machined face wheels), I'll buy you a beer!

I believe that they are dealer installed. It will say so on your build sheet. In that case they will give you the original parts that came with the car. I got all the original parts when I ordered the logo package

Welcome to the board bro. And, don't let the negative nellie's get to you. It's your ride not theirs !
I have the black machined face wheels on my '16. Just took delivery on Monday at Bowling Green. You will like the way they look. The pictures do not do them justice.

It's unfortunate the GM charges so much for alternate styles when the alternate is simply different (vs. better) than what comes standard. A great example is the "Stingray" door sill trim. $275 to have the word "Stingray" instead of "Corvette"? Seems excessive. Same with $210 for alternate center caps and $595 for red or yellow calipers instead of the standard gray or black. I find it especially amusing that on a Stingray with Z51 you can "upgrade" the brake calipers from black to red for $595 but on a Z06 it costs the same $595 to get black instead of red. Same with the exterior badging; on a Stingray you pay $100 to change from chrome to Carbon Flash and on a Z06 you pay $100 to switch from Carbon Flash to chrome. Go figure.

These days, no. Most deals are now based on invoice and not M.S.R.P.
