Default What are these called?

I picked up a Z06 yesterday (replaced my Stingray Z51). I got a great deal but the guy who owned the car before was really into the blue black and red combo of colors. I'm not.

What are these parts I have labeled below called? They're really odd things to have painted but to each his own. I'd rather try to go back to a more stock look or just replace the blues with reds.

B is known as a cowl.

I think the previous owner tactfully pimped that ride. I like it.

I believe this 2 pieces are just covers that give access to headlight adjusters.....seems to be in the right area and I’ve had mine off before.

You are correct, those are the headlight adjustment access covers.

Part(s) A are called the "inner fender cover"
Part B is the "wiper cowl" as mentioned.

BTW: I think the painted versions are nicer than the cheap looking flat black plastic OEM pieces. (I had someone make both of these out of real carbon fiber for mine and think it looks much better.)

I'm probably going to put it up for sale pretty soon. Let me know if you're interested. I'll make you a good deal.

He also had some other stuff done that was removed. It probably looked pretty sweet. I'd just prefer the black and red or black and blue combo more than all 3 together.

Agreed... I'd like to get a red version of the supercharger cover and do some red and/or carbon accents as well. Either way, I couldn't be happier. I've been wanting to step up to the Z06 for a long time.
