I was wondering if anyone would know.. If you install the C8 Z06 bumper on the C8 stingray, would the Z06 front grills fit as well? Are they same width?

Z06 front bumper does not fit on a Stingray. There are aftermarket front bumpers with Z06 'style' front for Stingray. The Z06 front end is physically wider than a Stingray.

I have the scrape armors on my workbench after seeing how beat up my condensers/rad are from 2 track weekends. Not looking forward to front fascia removal as "something" always happens. I'm debating on waiting until after my next track weened Memorial Day weekend when I have "summer break" for trackdays.

This is an irritating and stupid omission on a $30k car, much less a 6-figure one. FIGURE IT OUT GM, jfc....
Dude, chill. They’re called ala’ carte “options”. I personally don’t want all of those options on my Corvette nor do I what to pay for them. They are not required to maintain or keep the car running as promised. If you would like an option, order 1…order 2 or 3 or as many as you like to make your Corvette the way YOU want it.

I’m 72 yrs old and my wife and I removed the front ourselves and installed the scrape armor screens, no big deal. Remember 1 thing with the less expensive screens held on with zip ties I don’t believe you can remove the center section to allow more air flow as the less expensive ones don’t go all the way to the top. Don’t take that to the bank but I believe I’m correct.

So people are putting on front radiator grill screens on a $120K+ car with zip ties? Id rather spend the extra $5-600 and use the scrape armour. I mean would you use zip ties on a Ferrari?
