Wicker Bill

Is the GM wicker bill really worth the extra price rather than the aftermarket ones that are available?

Yes, as I personally think it looks the best. Camaro engineers just got everything right about the Z/28, including the wicker bill.

Well I guess you guys talked me into it. I sure would have liked to save half the money but you always get what you pay for I guess.

just got the zl1addon version on mines. I've thought about getting the oem version but like the zl1addon version due to the clear plastic in the middle. helps with rear view line of sight. John is not only very easy and professional to work with..he's also a fellow z/28 owner..

I had the GM on mine and bought a smoke tinted on at Camaro Fest 2015 and it is awesome. I can see the car behind me now and it the same as the GM in shape and size. Much happier with it and everyone likes it. Sorry I can't remember who it was that I bought it from and way cheaper but don't come with the hardware.

I have the GM version on my Z, and it looks awesome, but still looks like it belongs on the car... 100%
Plus it's a GM part if that matters to anyone
