Default Missing from new car?

Had my 3lt, z51 coupe courtesy delivered yesterday and it came with nothing but the window sticker.

No manuals, no Corvette sill plates (ordered the Stingray upgrade),but oddly, an extra set of front and rear molded splash guards. Is this usual or did someone drop the ball and/or help themselves to something?

The OM should be in the glove box, as well as the infotainment manual. The tire warranty info, too.

Call and insist they send you all the stuff that should have come with the car. Including the Stingray sill upgrade. Those Corvette sills belong to you.

Chances are, they will take them from some other Corvette on the lot, but …...

You should have upper and lower shades, rotor rings, a cargo net, an aeroplate if you're in a front plate state, the manuals and your corvette sills.

I'm gonna check the for sale section.

Could be either of the two scenarios that you mention, but in any case, call the dealer and request they give you what you paid for.
