Default Adding MRC after the fact

Can you install MRC if it wasn't part of the original order on 2016 z51 6 speed convertible?

I suppose anything is possible but this I'm doubtful.

You'd need to purchase the MSRC controller, the shocks, and a new wiring harness, at minimum, maybe more. Then it would involve dissembling the interior of the car to install new wiring to the console mode selector, removing the driver's side front fender, to mount the controller and bracket, then running all the wiring from there to the controller, and then to the shocks. You need software to run it all. Lastly, your DIY job would not be covered by warranty.

In other words, it's not worth it. It would be more cost-effective to trade the car for an MSRC-equipped one.
