Harvey, you do know that the car is barely out and you're already asking about accessories, right?

Not aware of fronts...."standard" rear splash guards should fit, as I believe the same rear fenders as Z06/GS.....

That's just funny, as said rears will fit, just waiting on the fronts, not sure if anyone has tried the 17' on the front yet

just looked at the bottom of the front fender where they meet the body and maybe i'm wrong? but are they STILL CURVED IN SO MUCH THEY STILL ALLOW ROCKS AND SAND TO FLY BACK???

They redesigned the fender and they left the worst most damaging part in place? has to be an optical illusion. maybe someone can verify they are the same at the back as a GS/Z06?

if that's the case then i don't blame Harvey for asking.. as you need them or Xpel or both asap.

Who wants chips no matter how long you plan to keep your car? Whoever wants to buy Harvey's ZR1 when he sells- paint chips would be the first (and likely only) complaint.

Harvey is being proactive and keeping it nice for when it's time to move to his next
Maybe some expel wrap?

Harvey

The GM Vette guys told me the side skirts are the most effective at protecting the paint and the ZR1 body was widened behind front wheel for aero and protection. Probably don't need splash guards. I do not plan to get any

They are selling the C7 splash guards on Ebay for about $120 for the set. I asked the seller if they will fit the ZR1 and he asked for the vin number to confirm...I don't have a vin yet but once someone gets their vin they can get an answer if they'll fit. There is nothing wrong with getting ready Harvey. If you get them to the dealer before the car gets there they should put them on for you.

Easiest way to tell if that small triangle of rubber is still sending debris back to the brake ducts is to eye ball it from that area. It looks widened but problem is the rest of the body is still stingray, meaning the rocker panel meets the fender same way. That tells me it's not fixed correctly and will require a set.

And if that's the case someones feet should really be held to the flame on it. Because to redesign it and not fix that would be a joke.

I called ACS. They said it 99% confirmed that the Z06 front splash guard will fit on the ZR1.
