Jumping into the Z06/Z07 pool from the Stingray
After 4 years of C8 stingray ownership and a couple of failed Z06 waitlist attempts, I'm coming over. Just put a deposit on a 2024 Z07 HTC w/800 miles. I'm now shopping for stuff before my 2000 mile drive home.
Car already has PPF.
Cup 2 tires need to go.
I need grills for front (and possibly sides), I bought my stingray grills from customcargrills (this was before GM and scrape armor existed) and was very happy with their products so will likely buy theirs again at a fraction of the price
Are folks doing anything to protect the carbon fiber front lip apart from PPF? I've destroyed 3 of those on my stingray and those were just fiberglass. I'd hate to wreck an actual CF piece.
Any other immediate term 'must haves'

Congrats! Extended splashguards. I've had 3 widebody C8s, the first one I didn't do these, and the second (and now third) I did, and they definitely help with keeping dirt/water/rocks from being kicked up on the lower body. The first set I got from Paragon, this time I ordered off EBay and they were pretty much the exact same item for half the price.

yes it does (i havent seen any z07s without in my searching). i dont have one in the stingray which did me in once. the other 2 times were those rogue cones that jumped out in front of me at the track.
