Rubber baby buffy buggy bunpers

[Ed H.]

Can anyone suggest a source for rollers that will keep my front end from scraping the driveways and speed bumps. I am also looking for an easy on and off front bra, and anti theft lug nuts, chrome, for my wheels, any suggestions would be appreciated. Got to keep this baby in the crib for her unveiling. My motto, Protect and Service. I have decided on my new California, Black with yellow letters! DONTDOIT!!!!!

Ed - check the following eBabe link and think it is what you are looking for in a "skid plate" wheel for protection

I wouldn't put a bra on my car for any price.

I would find a company that installs this:

http://www.xpel.com/

10+ years ago I had the 3M Clear installed on my 2008, and it has saved it from countless bugs, stones, even flying roof shingles.
If/when I replace it, the Xpel is on the top of my list of current products.

I used bras on two of mine-never again as scuffs were left in paint. Go with Patrick's suggestion. Got it recently and very happy with it. I used McGard lugs for about ten years. High quality and stopped a wheel thief when I lived in an apartment.

I have had the plastic on the front and sides of the 2008 Z06 since the car was new. Two different brands, but 3M bought them all soon after. 89K miles and I couldn't be happier. Ditch the bra idea and go with the plastic like Patrick says. It isn't cheap because it takes some skill to put on, but protection is superior.

Unless you are off-roading the part of the front that drags is designed to flex, don't worry about it. It sounds worse than it is. Replace it (easy job on a lift) before judging or when you are going to sell the car. Buy a spare set of "spoilers" now in order to have on hand for that time.

Don't go to the "inner city" with the Corvette. You are asking for a 'jacking by doing that. Have a hooptie for those kinds of trips. It's a lifestyle thing.

Thanks to all for very sage advise. I'm on the internet banging the keys.

Ed, you need to join Corvette Forum on the C6 section. They have dozens of vendors who sell all manner of useless and glitzy aftermarket items for your C6. They have bling you would never have thought of before, and you might even like some of them.
