And joined the ranks...

Got a deal I could not refuse, and I knew I was not going for a C8 during its initial run...

Traded my 18 Stingray for a 17 2LZ Z06...

Absolutely beautiful and a great driver...

Top Shelf Stuff There!!!

I would get some side skirts and front splash guards on there ASAP to protect the sides. My car is Shark Gray so you may get some idea what side skirts & wide/long splash guards would look like on your beauty! I don't think they would detract at all and would save your car from a lot of chips over time.

Congrats! Beautiful car.
I traded my ‘16 Roush supercharged Mustang in for a ‘19 2LZ Z and couldn’t be happier. Mine is the Watkins Glen grey as well. Awesome color!,

I already switched my splash guards from my Stingray, now I just have to find a good deal on 3/4 or full length skirts.

First off WELCOME TO THE ELITE CLUB!!!!! Your car looks amazing. Previous owner must have took the 3/4 skirts off because they were standard factory equipment on all 2017 and up Z06 cars with stage 1 aero. My 2017 purchased new came with them separately which the dealer installed before delivery. They do save lots of rock damage. Good luck!!!

While they do come with the car, apparently some people choose not to install them... there are no holes for the pop rivets so the original owner must have not wanted them.

I’m really happy though, originally sold 11/17, and only 6k miles on it as of 8/19... Fortunately, that will rapidly increase now!!!
