Does the Z look better with or without the Splitter End Caps?

Aero bits' beauty is not in its looks but its funtion and effectiveness.
With that in mind I'd say with for me. If I was in charge of the project I would have added canards as well.

Visually from your pictures the side without and from the front with. So I guess its a tie.

So the non ZTK equipped coupes come without them, however ZTK equipped convertibles don’t get them either.
Dealers should start to ask if customers with ZTK coupes if they want them on at PDI, they are removable and recommended for track set up, once on.......Keepers!

I may be wrong but thought all ZTK equipped cars, both coupe’s and convert’s, come with the carbon front splitter end caps which are dealer installed as part of the PDI process. Perhaps owners are electing to not have them installed more for looks than anything else. Tracker’s more likely than not are having them installed.

I think they look great!! However, I'll take them off for street driving or high-speed events. And I'll get a low wing (if they ever become available!) for street and high-speed events as well.
Take a look at the build&price site. Build a ZR1 and when you come to "Packages" you can get info about the ZTK package. It says:
You can see in there the part that I highlighted, and with the "Coupe" in parentheses it indicates that the tall end caps are a coupe only item.
Here's a link to the build&price site so you can build a ZR1 to any specs available:

In the March 5, 2019 Chevrolet dealer service bulletin 16-NA-330 states: ''Important: The tall end caps and clear bridge are for track use ONLY. DO NOT install during PDI.''
I understand that they are for track use, but what difference does it make if they are used on the street? It is not illegal nor is it unsafe. Both were installed on my Z06/Z07 during PDI.

Probably because it’s just one set of aero bits that gets shipped from the supplier. They have enough trouble keeping up with the demand, all they need to do is also have to worry about including or not including them...that would really gum up the works...

I saw the owners ZR1 when I went in for service two weeks ago and really don't like the splitter as it looks like a snow plow and tacked on. Otherwise the car with the smaller wing looks great

and you know the first Z06 or ZR1 driver off the lot in an accident where the front sidemarler was an issue it'll be GM's fault. So instead they put them in the back lol. It only takes one to ruin it for everybody lol.
