New Z06 owner!
Hey everyone, I'm super excited to be part of the corvette community. I recently sold my mustang and decided i need a new weekend car.
After months of searching, I finally found a 2015 Z06 3LZ M7 long beach red. The exact spec and color i was looking for. I only had my car for a few days and i gave her a nice bath today. The paint is still in excellent condition. I do have a few question. I believe the previous owner installed a z51 spoiler but i'm not sure. I'm still debating on which spoiler to install. Stage 2 or stage 3? Also i would like to add some rock guard for protection. I found some gm oem 1's for a decent price and there's the ACS one for over 500 front and rear. I appreciated the feedback.
I attached a few pics for reference.

Beautiful looking Z!! Very nice color combo. And it looks like "Spa Day" for big red. Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Simply Awesome looking Z06!!!!!!! Also that is a Z51 spoiler never seen one on a Z06. I would get the stage 2 spoiler as you have stage 2 already up front !!

Thank you all!!! It definitely put a smile on my face every time i drive it. I am taking it slowly for now as i am not comfortable with the car yet. I tried the active rev match for the very first time yesterday and WOW. Amazing! Thanks for the picture
z06 cracker. I will be looking into purchasing XL Rockguards from ACS. Next on the list will be Stage 2 or 3 spoiler, Full front Xpel plus ceramic coat for protection.

Congrats on your new Z06. However, I think your color is Crystal Red as LBR wasn’t introduced until 2016.

Odd that someone put a Z51 spoiler on it... maybe they liked the cleaner look vs. the black multi-piece OEM one. I kind of like it.

Thanks Steven! I didn't know LBR was introduced in 2016.I learned something new everything lol. I got a quote at a very reputable shop for half car xpel and full paint correction with ceramic coat on top.
I will be dropping it off next week! I can't wait.

That sounds like a good deal. I paid almost the same a couple of weeks ago. You'll enjoy the added protection of the ceramic coating and xpel. Plus the shine and ease of washing is amazing. Post pics when she's all done.
