Joining the Z06 club
Hello gentlemen, I finally got around to buying a c7 Z06. I got a great deal on a lightly used car. (Less than 300 miles)
its completely stock.
I'm looking to get items to protect the paint, I have seen some recommendations to prevent rock chips, anyone have links to items I should purchase?

Congrats, welcome to the Z06 club. Only 10 posts in 12 years, hopefully we'll get to see more of that Z06 now. Tell us about it - A8 or M7? Options. Plans. Enjoy your new ride.

It still stuns me
How people will buy a new car, take the financial hit of driving it off the lot, put next to no miles
on it then trade in/sell it. I get there are unique circumstances that might force such a short ownership
but aside from that you're talking many dollars PER MILE for such low mileage recent purchases; your
gain and enjoy.

Very Nice 
Enjoy it
What happen to your skirts? Skirts and mud guards (flaps) are a must for paint protection.
Or at least Expell or equivalent film protection.

Thanks all for the kind comments. And yes, I'm glad i looked at the used market before buying new. It's literally a new car and still has the new car smell for a bargain price.
It's a 2016, the skirts were not on all z06's. I bought some ACS guards and will be installing side skirts soon. Also going to do a ceramic coat on everything.

Dealers don't always get them installed for whatever reason. I would recommend getting a set installed ASAP to avoid damage to rockers. Skirts and splash guards protect very well when used together.
Great looking Z06, congrats and enjoy it.

One tip....... wrap the brake duct vents in the rear in some type of tape duct electrical or whatever before you drive it again!
Just a couple of strips will do.
Xpel does not make any coverage for this area, I made my own it’s not hard to do. Order some xpel and trace and cut.
