Mudguards
Anyone take their mudguards off to prevent scraping? I unintentionally ripped my front left one off last night backing into my driveway, heaven forbid I drive in face front I would've prob. lost my engine.....the screw hole is now stripped and the metal lip that retains the lower screw is bent. I was thinking of leaving it off for weight reduction purposes

Didn't know you could get mudflaps on a corvette. I can't even recall seeing any on one. Last time I was washing the Z I was thinking if it had some the paint in front of the wheels would look much better. Anyone got any pics?

Are you talking about the three-piece spoiler set under the front of your car? That's not a mudguard! Those pieces are essential to proper engine cooling so don't remove them. You can trim them a little, but you really need to retain them, especially the middle piece. Mudguards?

I had my concrete driveway repoured to eliminate any possibility of scraping. Now it is perfect for my Corvette!
