I ordered the flaps from Camaro Scotty and when I placed the order Dave told me that they will not fit if you have the rear diffuser.

Glad to hear you're willing to be a guinea pig, Detroitboy. If we still haven't seen them on an actual car down the road, at least the rest of us will have your opinion. How soon do you expect to get your car?

They go in back, and I really doubt you can use them with the ground effects rear diffuser without modifications to either the splash guard or the diffuser..
But looking at the shape of the part of the diffuser that fits behind the rear wheel you may not even need them..

No problem...always willing to take a hit for the team! I looked at Fbodfathers inner fenders last week to see how they fit. The factory diffuser does not have an inner lip as we are used to seeing on a steel fender (or even most diffusers). However, there are two or three small screws in the backside of the inner fender well (where the mud ends up). I would assume that those screws are just removed and reused to screw on the mudflap. Probably a plastic lip on the flap too that locks it in behind the straight plastic of the diffuser. That would also reinforce the straight edge of the diffuser. I'll just do it at the same time I throw on my wheel locks (part #92221880)
Also...I took the nestea plunge an hour ago and called the Chevrolet number (1-800-222-1020) and talked to the gentleman real nice. He made a couple calls while I was on hold and told me that my car would be built April 6th. Kind of relief for sure. But just something about the way he said it that gave me the feeling that it might not be accurate. Did you get a date yet for yours?

DetroitBoy - how did you get the wheel lock number? Are they the same for all configurations? For example, I ordered 20 in polished chrome. thx, KJS

I found it in an online catalog for 2020 camaro parts. They are listed as being chrome (I got polished rims too) with dealer list price of $85. I don't know what Scotty's price is. I'll put them on the concrete floor of my garage with one right next to each of the mud guards in their proper places so that they are ready and awaiting the arrival of the car they will go on. It will look like a welcoming comittee for my baby with a six pack of bud light on ice in a bucket and a couple helium balloons attached too.

Ok, good. Your car will be built before mine. Never thought I'd say that, but I've got no control over when mine gets pulled, and it won't be until next week for a late April build. Do you know when your order got pulled for production? If you do, the build week's a given.

They're in the '09 GMPP parts catalog, listed with the optional 21" wheels. I imagine they'll work for all wheels, but the catalog doesn't specify. You can download it from here: http://www.gmperformanceparts.com/Parts/catalog.jsp

The mudguards came in and they are beautiful. Great finish quality, and plenty rigid. Easy to install too. Comes with directions screws etc. Looks like one hole will have to be drilled on the bottom where it won't show anyway if you take them off later. I think it can be done without even taking the wheels off. I don't know how they can make 4 different pieces that good and paint them for that price.
It appears as if all the lug nuts are the same. No separate listings for midnight silver, 21" etc. All are listed as chrome finish. I'd be shocked if the lug nuts did'nt come with the 21" rims if they were different. Does anyone know if the midnight silver lugs are darker than chrome?
Dunno when mine will be here, have been at 3400 for a couple weeks and still am per the dealer today. I guess the guy at the 800 Chevy number smoked me huh? Imagine that..... been 3000 since 2/27.
