I’m looking to buy a stingray in the near future. I’ve noticed some have the chrome bar across the front grill. Others don’t. Why? Is one Z51 equipped & the other not? Please educate me.
The original have the chrome. I do have a black decal on top to cover it.
the other picture shows an aftermarket z06 style grill used to replace the original one. Those big holes in the sides are for the brake duct vent that stingrays don't have
The chrome strip across the center is on the base units and the one with the opening in the lower left are on the Z06 model. Some owners have replaced their original grill with the Z06 style while other have blacked out the chrome and other leave it as original.

thanks for the response. I’ve seen a couple used ones the have the Z06 style …. hence the confusion.
The chrome strip is on the grill of our 2017 Z51.
As noted above, many people remove/cover/replace to eliminate the chrome.
I left ours in place, it reminds me of when our kids had braces on their teeth.

Are you sure the stingrays don't have the vents still behind the front grill? I just swapped my stingray to the z06 grille and mine already had vents in the front that lined up with the zo6 grille air inlets on both sides?
First year I had mine I hit a rabbit that ran in front of me on a highway, breaking the grill. I replaced it with a Z06 grill. It looks much better without the chrome retainer IMO.

I replaced the chrome strip grille on my 2014 with an aftermarket Z06 style grille from Extreme Online Store. Fit perfectly and made one heck of a difference in the look. Price was very good too.

Can it be replaced without removing the entire front facia?
Now if I could add a good looking pair of additional lights (blacked out?) in those side holes i will be in... maybe I can print a mount adapter. Not a bad project as the new grill is low price to play.
