Default Grand Sport rear quarter vent

I'm toying with the idea of replacing my Z51 rear quarter vents with the color matched Grand Sport rear quarter vents. I tried using several websites to find part numbers but my google fu must be weak on this.

Does anyone happen to know the part number for Arctic White Grand Sport rear quarter vents?

Thanks in advance!

It's the same as a z06. These guys have them all listed, but I would definitely call or email them to make sure you're getting what you want.

Z51 rear quarter vents are NOT the same as a Z06. Z06 and Grand Sport quarter vents have the extra air scoop that sticks up above the surface of the body panel...

What Rooster OG meant was that the Grand Sport fender intakes are the same as those for the Z06 though this is only partially true. The Z06 standard version is painted Carbon Flash while the Grand Sport's are painted body color.

Thanks guys, I'll start there. The picture of the vent threw me off at first, but the description does say Z06

I'll add one other thing. In your original post you specified Arctic White. As pointed out earlier, the rear quarter intakes are available painted either body color or Carbon Flash. Unless your car has RPO EFY (Body Color Painted Exterior Vents), you'll probably want to stick with Carbon Flash if you decide to switch to the Grand Sport / Z06 style.

What makes you say that? I specifically said Arctic white because I think the white vents would look better with the setup I'm going for. The black vents with tinted windows, and Glass roof, is just too dark for my taste, based on the GS pics I've seen, I think they look great color matched.


Got this link from Trunk Monkey incase anyone else is looking!

Geez, I was only trying to point out the choices that are available to you and to provide clarification (which you clearly didn't need) on what's installed at the factory.

No, I wasn't trying to come off as an ***... I was wondering if you were saying maybe the whites wouldn't match up or something. I appreciate the input for sure!

Ok so i have a question I too am interested in putting the Z06 style rear scoops on my Z51 coupe. The trunk monkey site concerns me as the vent in the pic is not a Z06 style as it does not hear the scoop partially covering the opening, also I am looking for body color/LBM....why are their colors named like woman's nail polish ?? "Blue my mind" ??
Can someone confirm ??

Hi everyone,

The Z06 scoops are the sames ones that are installed on all of the Grand Sports as well. GM Parts catalog always has different names for the paints than the sales brochure, so please submit your VIN# with the order so we can verify the paint will match.

This is the best link to use, pick your option, and submit VIN# with order, we will make sure you get the correct ones. If you're actually wanting a different color, we will verify with you always before we send you anything other than what you ordered.
