Z07 or carbon exterior package I believe. Or do what I did. Buy the C7carbon pieces and/or APC pieces.

Side Skirts - C7carbon $700
Front Splitter - APC $455
Stage 3 winglets - GM $250 (used from Cforum member)

Total - $1,405

The 3/4 side skirts are now standard as pictured below (Stage 1).The 2LT package has nothing to do with the optional Stage 2 and 3 Areo Package side skirts as shown in the second picture, which is the Stage 2 package. Note the Stage 2 and 3 side skirts are the same, only the spoiler and front splitter winglets are different. Stage 2 has the rear spoiler extensions and smaller splitter winglets, and the Stage 3 adds the rear center spoiler Wicker Bill and the taller front splitter winglets.

Cars pictured are the 2017 GS, but the 2017 Z06 is supposedly equipped the same way with regards to the Areo Packages... and the Z07 has the Stage 3. Hope that this helps.

You're still getting the Stage 1 splitter and spoiler, AND the 3/4 side skirts, which wasn't available on the '15s and '16s. If you want more, then it'll cost ya, like anything else. Not sure why you're PO'ed.

Pissed off because you need to spend money or pissed off because you have to drill holes?


If you ordered the GM aero, then the dealer would be drilling the holes.


If you order aftermarket, then you can use double sided tape to attach if you so choose (there are many threads on that).


Probably not too late to cancel or change the order. Do your homework better and reorder what you want, or order a different car......

Less expensive to do it yourself. I got all the CF bits for stage 2 on a non Z07 Z and it was $6k worth of MSRP option cost over the 3LZ.

I do think a G was for interior CF.

LOW, I think he was asking for my link. I sent it to him via PM. The one I bought has provisions for stage 2 and stage 3 winglets. I do like yours though if you don't want or need the winglets.

Glad it worked out. You were fortunate. Way better with install at B G. That way, the entire enchilada is covered by the warranty.
