Suggest you gently escalate, step by step, in writing, using sections 13.1-13.3 of your Owners Manual.

Didn't get mine. Called the dealer and he called me back in 10 minutes and said he had em. I think some dealers are throwing them away as they don't know what they are for.

Has anyone gotten the small winglets? Mine were missing and GM representative claiming Z07 cars only come with 1 set

Does anyone have something in writing stating that the Z07 cars come w 2 sets of winglets and that the stage 3 are supposed to be loose and in the trunk?

thanks!!

I have watched a couple of PDIs on Z06s and the winglets came attached to the front splitter.... On the Z07, the small ones came attached to the front splitter, and the dealer had to take them off to install the larger ones. Only the Z07 end pieces were shipped separately.

Another small benefit of buying from a forum dealer who sees enough cars to know what to do...

You would think that would be the case, but MacMulkin (the 2nd largest volume dealer) didn't include my small winglets when they delivered my car either (a stage 3 Z07). Apparently the guys doing the PDI haven't always been trained properly about the aero pieces no matter what dealer is involved. I called immediately and they finally rounded up a pair after a couple of more phone calls and sent them to me (about 10 days after my car was delivered).

There is something wrong with this whole discussion. Any GM part is usually in a bag with a part number and bar code. Nobody could accidentally throw them out during PDI. More likely they were not shipped from the factory.
