C8 Corvette E-Ray and Z06 owners looking to add side grille guards to their cars won’t have to go aftermarket for too much longer.

Certain purchasers and lessees of vehicles costing more than $100k – like the 2026 Corvette E-Ray, Z06, ZR1, and ZR1X – now have yet another tax to pay.

This C8 Corvette E-Ray may have just recorded the quickest quarter-mile pass we’ve seen out of any C8 of any king to date.

CarWow reviewed the UK version of the Corvette E-Ray and came away less than impressed, unable to achieve its stated acceleration figures.

Corvette Z06 and E-Ray owners won’t be required to keep them for six months before selling and resulting in the buyer losing the factory warranty.

The 2026 Corvette lineup is still ripe with constraints for the latest ordering cycle, many of which have been problems for a very long time.

Following a disappointing 2025, the E-Ray continues to lag behind its 2026 Corvette lineup mates as hundreds of leftover models linger.
