Accessories question
Hello everybody. I'm back in the C7 ZR1 game. Looking to add exposed carbon fiber rock guards and the skid plate/splitter protector. What vendors and what products should I look at?

I am unfamiliar with the term "rock guards" in the context of discussing ZR1s, but there are several aftermarket companies that make the carbon fiber ground effects pieces. Not sure if the OE GM parts are still available, but search the web...Google is your friend.
As for a protective cover for the bottom of the splitter, I know the aftermarket makes that, too. Again, search the web, but keep in mind: adding that to the bottom of the splitter reduces ground clearance and makes it more likely you'll scrape the underside of the car's nose.
Lastly, only off-roaders use the term "rock guard" or "rock bar" and "skid plate," so you must own a 4WD truck or something like that.

Pretty sure that rocks aren't just an off road issue.
