Anyone have any idea of the cost?
It seems we all choose this option it in our C8 configurator, I'm hoping its less than 1,995.00.

As an aside, since the high wing is a dealer-installed option apparently you cannot order it if you're doing a Museum Delivery.

Oh no! I am doing a Museum delivery...I guess I will have it done after I pick up the car...Thanks Klinn for making me aware of that fact!Originally posted by Klinn View PostVette's owned: 99 Sebring Silver Convert - 10yrs, 2008 Crystal Red Convert,w/cam, longtubes and Vortech supercharger.

I really do like the high wing 5ZU option but why they don't allow that to be done with R8C delivery is perplexing. Hopefully they will change this restriction before production starts.Comment

As always, check with your dealer to be sure, but here's what the order guide says:
Note as well that if you wanted a body color high wing (5ZU) it's apparently only available for white, black, shadow gray, or torch red cars. The carbon flash version of the high wing (5ZZ) seems to be available for any color car.Originally posted by Ordering GuideComment

All LPO (dealer installed accessory) options are only dealer installed a GM certified dealership. Sorry about that.GBA Black; HTO Twilight/Tension interior; Z51 & Mag Ride; E60 lift; 5VM visible carbon fiber package; 5ZZ high wing; FA5 interior vis CF; ZZ3 engine appearance; 3LT; Q8T Spectra Gray Tridents; J6N Edge Red Calipers; SNG Edge Red Hashmarks; VQK Splash Guards; RCC Edge Red engine cover; VJR illuminated sill plates.

There are lots of other LPO items which do not have that restriction, but others which do, e.g. the black-painted Trident wheels (5DF). My guess is that the other LPO items are small enough to ship inside the vehicle. The high wing (wrapped in whatever protective covering it comes with) or the wheels & tires won't fit in the available trunk space or wedged into the interior. But why wouldn't GM just ship them directly to your dealer while you're enjoying the trip home in your shiny new beast? They could be installed when you arrive home.Originally posted by 455SDguy View PostComment

No Wings for me. They look good on some cars but I do not think they look good on this car, IMO , But it is to taste. A personal decision. Besides I have a clothesline to hang the beach towels on.Comment

I don't think that's GM's decision as much as the museum's. The museum isn't a garage: they don't have the tools or mechanics needed to do this kind of work.Originally posted by 455SDguy View PostDelivered 5/29!: Scarlet Fever 2021 2LT HTC, Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat, two-tone Naturalw/ suede inserts, Mag Ride, Performance Exhaust, MRR 755 Gunmetal wheels

Understand totally, the factory is literally kinda across the street/hwy, why can’t they make the change in final assembly? It’s not like they won’t get paid for doing it and if they want they help change the philosophy that Corvette ownership is a step above and give owners a higher level of service this is a good place to start. Also if I wanted a blue car with blue interior why can’t I get yellow seatbelts? I can get yellow brake calipers but not yellow seatbelts? Why? The parts are there, they can order them for the build? These silly rules don’t make sense?Originally posted by meyerweb View PostVette's owned: 99 Sebring Silver Convert - 10yrs, 2008 Crystal Red Convert,w/cam, longtubes and Vortech supercharger.

Fair Point. They could charge enough for it to make it worthwhile, I suspect. But I guess GM has a mass-production mentality, and anything that slow down the process isn't viewed favorably.Delivered 5/29!: Scarlet Fever 2021 2LT HTC, Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat, two-tone Naturalw/ suede inserts, Mag Ride, Performance Exhaust, MRR 755 Gunmetal wheels

Well, that $3K includes a lot more than just the high wing, so I think the high wing alone is going to cost a lot less than that.Delivered 5/29!: Scarlet Fever 2021 2LT HTC, Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat, two-tone Naturalw/ suede inserts, Mag Ride, Performance Exhaust, MRR 755 Gunmetal wheels
