Default Protection Question

So, does the Z come standard with mud flaps? Know my 2010 ZR1 did NOT and ordered after market.

What about light "black out kits" - blacked out all the lights on the ZR1 and will do same on Z if available.

Also, what are people doing/going to do wrt paint protection? Anyone looking at "opti coat"; clear bra; combination? Had clear bra on ZR1 and it was great.

xpel ultimate; hood, fender, mirrors and rockers. Cost about $2k but worth it from everyone I've talked to. Better than the $500 3m option.

Me too. I'll xpel the bumper, splitter & skirts, and whatever part of the rear intake area is not already covered from the factory. Then the Glen e. method....
