Thanks for all the comments. My car is not new, I am the second owner however I’ll be contacting Corvettes of Houston tomorrow to find out where those parts are. The car has a “clean” car fax so the parts should be there. This takes some of the excitement out of this purchase.

Don't let those items take too much of the excitement away. You can always get the parts, and bolt them back on. The good news is we have some people here with sharp eyes. They could spot a screw missing from a block away. Even new cars can have things wrong with them. The main thing is you got a fantastic car. Enjoy, and congratulations.

I’ve since learned these parts were never installed on my car and since I’m the second owner, I’ll need to source and install them myself. It’s going to happen. I like how they look too much to leave the car as it is.

Thanks to to everyone for pointing out what is missing. I may not have ever known.

Ive seen pictures of late model used Grand Sports on Carmax and other places with missing skirts and chin spoiler. Guess it’s common to be missing them.

With the way the GS kicks up stones, you want to get the side skirts on that ASAP. You should also look into installing front and rear splash guards - I would suggest ACS on the front (they cover more than the GM version) and GM's on the back.

Welcome to the forum from the great State of Arizona! The forum members have great info about your car although some just don't know how to be polite. Be that as it may your Admiral Blue color is my favorite although my Z51 is Black and my Z06 is Corvette Racing Yellow. Enjoy your car, enjoy the forum!

I have an appointment for next Friday to have these parts installed. I’m pumped to see how this car is going to look with them on.
