Default Ground effects kit

I’m a little confused about how the ground effects kit comes.
On the visualizer the 5vm real carbon one looks the front bumper spoiler and side rocker panels. I hope so for 4,800. But on the option list it seems to be separate.

Also does anyone have any pics of the carbon flash painted stuff. Wonder how that looks compared to the true carbon. I’m getting the stripes the are carbon flash. It may match better with carbon flash ground effects kit.

You’re not the only one who is confused. It is very unclear what comes with the ground effects kit. I’m wondering about “5V7 Ground Effects Kit in molded body color” for $695. There are several threads where that question has been asked but still no answers.

Same design as others, only made from extruded plastic. Was originally offered back in Sept 2019, but removed before 1st ordering cycle due to supplier problem. Can take more punishment and not crack or break unlike 1 layer of CF over FG or Painted FG to for CF look. Cheap to make and cheap to replace if damaged. It can be ordered over the counter. Not sure if dealer install is include in price or not as was before. Not installed at BG, same as high wing, for the same reason.

Same design, all Layered CF ones can be had from Aftermarket, I think about 1/2 what GM was asking. Or you can buy 1 layer CF over FB layers for about the same cost from aftermarket.
