Nothing at Mid America yet. In fact, they had very little for the C6.

It took several months for Mid America to get the first C5 splash gurads on the market. For anybody who drives their car in sandy or dirty areas they will be as badly needed as the ones on the C5. I took quite a few pictures of the wheel well area of the car at the Detroit Auto Show and it may actually be worse than the C5 as far as painted surfaces intruding into the wheel wells where they can be sand blasted. No matter what people say about them splash guards definitely look better than the road rash that will start showing up in a few weeks of driving. My Torch Red 03 Z06 paint looks fogged behind each wheel.

There's the 3M clear protective treatment which is supposed to work well. I don't know the details, but I'm going to investigate before I buy my next Vette. I hope by that time it will be available on Museum delivery.

That's a good thing! Shows it's been well enjoyed! You wouldn't want a Z06 to look like a trailer queen, would you?

I think if you give Bubba and Rufus a call at Gator Covers Inc. out in the Looziana Bayou they might be able to hook you up.
