ZL1 Flaps?

Just wondering if there is mud flaps or something for the ZL1? You know, help protect crap from the tires flying onto the paint especially the quarter panels.

I don't know of anything...the rear is pretty well protected from the factory aero "deflectors"...the fronts....I'm not sure anything can cover those tires without catching a whole lot of wind....

I have noticed several very small stone pecks on the "gills" of mine as well. I am going to have them buffed out and put a 3M protectant in that area.

Guess 3M is the only real solution...

I had mine done. The whole dogleg, all the way up to the body line. They weren't sure if it would hold itself in the gills, but it worked out just fine.

On thing I didn't have done, but will be done next week, is the bottom of the doors and in front of the front tire. I had my car detailed last week, and they pointed out to me the pitting that has already occurred after 1000 miles.

try XPEL, its a lot better than 3m. just make sure you find a dealer who knows what they are doing. Mine is getting a full hood, A-pillars, gill area, full fenders, partial roof.
