Default Missing part - what is it called

Hey Guys , both my 2014’s had the piece on both sides that cover the headlight adjustment holes. What are they called. ?

Embarassing question - My 2014 Z-51 3LT Premiere edition ………. Is Z-51 a model OR an option ?

Z51 is an option, it is not a model.

About two months ago there was a long debate about whether a Z51 was a distinct model of Corvette, or an option. I believe it ended as a third choice - a package.

I just tried to search for it so I could post the link (it was really a pretty good discussion), but I whiffed.

I'm looking at my embossed window sticker from the museum and Looking at the stuff under "Option Content" is "Z51 Sport Package". From that I conclude that it is a "Z51" option with the title of Sport Package. Another example of an option is "NPP Perf. Exhaust" or "GU2 2.73 Axle" or "CM8 Convertible To".

Yep, that's it! Thanks!

That was quite a bit longer ago than my two-month guesstimate. Memory's the first thing to go...

Probably the most discussed threads are about Z-51 packages and manual versus automatics. I hope you can locate the part you are searching for. I would go to a dealership and check out the parts diagrams.

Z51 RPO code indicates Z51 performance package, I guess it's a package.

The 2014 Corvette Brochure also lists it as the "Z51 Performance Package" (over 30 times) throughout.
