Hello Corvette Forum!
I have finally pulled the trigger on purchasing my first vette! Since I was a kid I had always wanted to buy one and quite frankly many times I could have but ended up with something else. Last night, after a couple weeks of negotiations, I became the proud owner of a brand new 2017 C7 Z06 in Watkins Glen Grey Metallic. Once I have better daylight, it has been overcast here, I'll get updated pics.
Options are as follows:

You are missing the side winglets in your stage 3 Kit if you have the 3Lz package you should let your dealership know a lot in California try to keep that from public . Check into it

Thanks for the PM.
Thanks again! If you have any words of wisdom for the Z, please let me know. The car has been fun! Way more torque and power than my M4 had!

Hey Man - Thank you for sending this when you did. I knew something didn't quite look right and couldn't put my finger on it at the time. On the day you sent this I did look and sure as $h!t everything was missing from the CFZ ground effect package other than the piece bolted to the back lid from factory. At that point I had immediately reached out to GM instead of the dealership. GM had me visit a different dealership to confirm things were missing, for the official word. Since that time, the original selling dealership tried to tell GM that my car didn't come with it/wasn't on the build sheet. Of course GM had the build sheet and said Umm .. yes it did. Took multiple calls from GM for them to call me and then finally the sales guy reached out asking me for pictures of what the car looked like and then further what was missing. Pain in the ****!! The best part of the pictures ... On the day I bought the car, one of the sales managers wanted a pic with him and I next to the car, that picture clearly show the missing front splitter, winglets and rockers. :-D

Great you had the picture with the sales manager on the day you bought it - no one can accuse you of pulling the parts!
Great also that bayzidez07 was quick to let you know of the missing parts.
Hope everything goes well with the installation.
