If you are going to track the car you will want to get the new 2017 GM Front Duct kit. It is a standard part on 2017s and is delivered with the car but isn't installed. Installation is left to the owner. If the owner doesn't track the car the regular air deflectors are left in place. There are a couple of vendors who sell the ducts and one has a package price for the ducts and the wheel blockers. The wheel blockers are delivered with Z06s that don't have the Z07 option.
