Non-Carbon Fiber Splitter Question

[Quandary]

I was fortunate enough to find a dealer near my home with an in-transit CT5-V Blackwing. The BW is built and awaiting shipment. I purchased the vehicle. Unfortunately the dealer did not order the BW with the front splitter. I have seen enough videos of the under side of the car to know that the splitter is simply clipped in with the typical bolt/clips on the underside of the car. I asked the dealer to order the splitter so that they could attach it prior to delivery. They checked the GM dealer parts order application and said that the part does not show up in the system as orderable. This is not the carbon fiber splitter, its the plastic one, which I would assume is the same material as the splitter on my ZL1.

Does this seem correct that the plastic splitter is something that can't be order at this time?

I thought that a splitter came as default, are you sure it doesn't have it already?

Splitter (non CF) is standard along with the plastic side rockers (gloss black).

I remember has that as a choice but I think it was a mistake in the builder and they all come with it.

 

[Likuid]

It's an option on the builder, but it doesn't seem to do anything in the preview adding or removing. My guess is that car you are interested has it. I think someone on here mentioned awhile back that it wasn't on their order and it still came with it.

I made this mistake when I first had a build with CF1, then when it was removed at the dealer there is no front splitter by default. Have to check the box for a front splitter (no charge).

It is a no cost option on the builder. I asked if the dealer had it built with the splitter box checked, they said they did not. Hopefully you all are correct!

Does this mean that the car will not have the default plastic splitter and side rockers (after removing CF1 and CF2) unless the splitter box is checked by the dealer? Wow this is all so confusing.

Looks like the plastic side skirts are standard but the front splitter box needs to be checked in the order. Not sure why that would not be default

Is the dealer able to add it as a dealer add on?

LOL, was going to answer this question, but F it!

Supposedly comes standard regardless of whether the option is selected or not.

 

[Jimmerz]

You will get standard splitter by default if you don’t choose Carbon Fiber. No need to check no cost splitter.

You are new and do not understand my so you will not get my response... With that being said I would always try the search function first as this question has been answered Ad Nauseam... But hey, welcome to the forum!

c'mon.. we all worked so hard yesterday to get @Tall Steve to post again and then you do this? Your post was as helpful as his.. Difference is that he is the OG GOAT.

I am good with his post. I get his sense of humor. I am guilty of not searching I guess...I didn't realize this was already discussed since opting out of CF was a relatively new thing for me...was reacting to what someone posted here and on FB

By the way I did just search this question. First the original question was, does it seem reasonable that the non carbon fiber splitter can't be orderer as a part, hasn't been addressed. Second the discussion that ensued above, splitter automatically added or not, is not definitively answered in the threads that I found.

Yeah I looked and could not find a definitive answer either..the premise was "those who had CF in the initial order but had to remove them to get an allocation (pretty much all of us in 1100 limbo), did those cars automatically revert to the standard front splitter? Or did you have to tell the dealer to check the box?" There are "rumors" that a car was delivered without the standard front splitter, but no verification of that.

Dude, you've been a member for a day. The discussion is here although likely buried inside of a thread. It may have been part of the "never to be seen again" order tracker thread. Man you new guys missed out on that one.
