Genuine Corvette Accessories
In choosing the options for my 2026 Corvette, I am wondering about the "Genuine Corvette Accessories" such as the premium carpeted floor mats, contoured cargo liner or even the "premium" indoor or outdoor car covers that are listed under "accessories".
Is it worth it to order them with the car, or am I able to order these myself at any Chevrolet dealer sometime after the sale?
I'm sure I can get a car cover from any one of many after market sellers, but what about things like the contoured cargo liner?
Thanks for any insight.
2025-09-15 - MM received my deposit yesterday, currently #106 on the list. Hopefully it goes fast :-)

You can order them later on if you wish, or find the same item (Genuine GM ) parts from many of the online Chevy discount vendors. Keep in mind, if you order an item with your car order, it comes INSTALLED, where if you order it later, or online, it's your responsibility to install it. For items like floor mats, or the Jake all weather mats and cargo trunk liner or a car cover, it's not an issue. For stuff like ordering the front Scrape Armor grill screens, that WOULD be installed at your dealer as part of your car order....... that IS a big deal, as installation is more involved.

GM Parts
While the Genuine GM OEMs are upscale from the standard issue, you'll find aftermarket alternatives that are significantly better. I.e. Lloyd's Mats are the floor mat of choice for most here. Matching liners as well. Same with the wider splash guards. GM gets $250. You'll find the exact same thing at amazon or eBay for $60. Easy DIY like a 1 on a 10 scale. And I saved myself some money and heartache by simply waiting. Rather than load up on stuff from the factory or filling the garage with predelivery boxes, I gave myself some drive time. Discovered some of the 'must haves' were not so must after all. Always a vendor willing and able to sell you most anything you can think of for sure.

I'd tend to just buy this stuff aftermarket. No need to have crossed flags and jake logos on stuff and pay a 100% premium. I've got Dash-Designs dashmat and floor mats incoming. But there are many other brands. Carcraft, Covercraft, Lloyds, etc.
