Z28 Valence options

Could the 1987 Z28 have body color valences like the IROC-Z instead of the stripes?

Re: Z28 Valence options

Sorry. Yes I meant the side skirts. I have only seen the iroc-z with body colored side skirts and the z28 with stripes on the side skirts. Was it an option for the z28 to have the body colored side skirts like the iroc-z?

To the best of my knowledge they only had three options for ground effect colors in that year on Z28s which were silver, dark grey or gold. I think only the IROCs were monochromatic. Im not completely sure though, so someone else chime in. Ill do more research later tonight.

Re: Z28 Valence options

The IROC-Z was the only model with ground effects painted to match the car up through 1989. The Z28 always had silver, gold or charcoal ground effects until 1991 when it went monochrome also. The RS from 1987 thru 1992 had monochrome ground effects. The 1988 Sport Coupe came with either silver or gold ground effects and was the first time the sport coupe came with ground effects. The 1987 and 1988 RS were limited edition models sold in certain markets only as a test model prior to 1989s release as the standard RS.

Yes he does. I have seen IROC's with non body color GFX, but they have been painted that way and IMO they do not look right. I don't mind the non matching GFX on the Z28's as my TA has silver GFX on a Flame red car and I love it.
