Is this true? Glad I got the painted aero. I figured it would be like the zr1. Everything would be visible cf.

Not yet. I do remember someone working on them but believe it was the larger stage 3.

Agree. Should of been exposed carbon fiber for the price everyone paid. It definitely looks like a after thought.

If you ordered CFV stage 2 then the stage 2 smaller winglets will be CFV. If your car is also a 07 then the larger 07 winglets will be painted. You will get both sets. This is how mine is.

If you got a stage 2 you cant get the exposed carbon fiber.

Only zo7 cars got the cfv exposed carbon fiber.


But u could provide a photo of a exposed carbon fiber stage 2 winglet to disprove that theory?

My car is a 07 ordered with CFV stage 2. I have not personnely seen an only stage 2 CFV car so I guess it is possible that they are painted on those cars but that doesn't make sense since that option is a separate option outside the Z07 but one of the 2 are required for the 07. I will go out and take a pic of the stage 2 winglets and post it. They are not on the car.

Something isnt right. If your car is a Zo7 it comes with both level 2 and level 3. You cant just order what level u want.

Level 2- small front painted winglets. No rear section spoiler.

Level 3- small and large painted winglets. Tinted rear section spoiler.

No other way to get it my friend

Those look nice. That blows the whole theory when we ordered the cars back last year. They claimed they would be painted along with the level 3 winglets.

You should have the level 3 painted as well right.

Gm may have made some changes from last year. Before you could not order zo7 with choosing either painted or exposed aero package. They all came with both.

When you order the level 2 you have the option of either the CFV (visible) or the painted (don't remember the code). You have to order one of the 2 to get the Z07. If you want the stage 2 only then you only order one of the stage 2 options. I have posted pic of the CFV winglet

So let me get this right. You have a zo7 with the carbon brakes without the clear section for the spoiler and 2 sets of front winglets. Large and small ones u sent pic of.

Yes the 07 larger winglets are painted and are on the car. I had the dealer only install the stage 2 winglets, then after a while I put the stage 3 on myself. The car was ordered the first or second week of Sept last year with CFV. Was not built until 1/5/15 delivered on 1/12/15. Long story on why it took so long to build. So the order was actually in the system early.

Ok great. So you actually have a level 3 car you are just running it with the level 2 aero parts.

Bout made me have to commit myself.

No mine is a Z07 with CCB, clear wicker bill, PSC2 tires. But when I ordered it I ordered it with the CFV option for the Stage 2 parts (splitter, small winglets, and rockers) these are all visible carbon. The rest of the aero parts are painted as all others are. Is it possible that CFV was on constraint when you ordered the car or now???

You have to order the level 2 to get the Z07 only choice is that you can order the visible or painted option. this actually increased the cost of the Z07 option by adding the level 2 to it. So really the 07 has both and you PAY for both.

To answer the original question, Yes if you order CFV stage 2 you will get the CFV winglets as pictured. If you don't and you get the CFV splitter and rockers and painted winglets then something is wrong. If CFV is on constraint then you can only order the painted and all components will be painted. Hope this helps.
