Default TPW so soon??

Ok, just wanted to get someone's opinion here. Like many, I have been on the Z06 wait list for a long time. I have my build ready and expected to be a longer wait. I was called by my dealer and they asked if I would agree to forego the Z07 pkg as well as the Aero Pkg that is also required and have my car go to a faster pace? I said of course, I can get most of the Z07 items I want piecemeal ( I only wanted the Carbon Ceramic brakes anyway). As for Aero, I have located aftermarket companies where I can get most of the items I want (basically the canards (dive planes) and the cost is significantly less that the GM cost and I have built the car with separate orders for the splitter etc. Therefor the quick pace is perfect for my taste. I was told that it will still take about 2 to 3 months but that would be the longest. Well, I looked up my position in the CODE list as to where my car is in the que and it said TPW 6/19!!! I couldn't believe that but in my queries I was told that they rarely make that kind of mistake so bravo for me! anyone else get anything like this news?

Who are you getting the dive planes, front splitter and wing from? I’m shopping for the same.

Yes, May allocation with 6/19TPW. Someone mentioned a 6/12 TPW but was not specific on which allocation.
