As with all great cars, ownership of a Corvette becomes more of a lifestyle than a passive hobby. Any true Corvette enthusiast both understands and appreciates the eminence of their machine and, as such, slaves to keep it in the best shape as humanly possible.

But, as all gearheads are painfully aware, life is very much against us in this endeavor. Careless drivers in parking lots, rocks hellbent on chipping your paint, and sword-like nails in the middle of the road; in our struggle to keep our Corvettes pampered, we really have our work cut out for us.Fortunately, necessity is the mother of invention; Zip Corvette understands the ongoing battle to keep your ride fresh and has been producing parts and accessories to better equip your ‘Vette since 1977. The latest piece of armor they’ve added to their Speed Lingerie line is the C7 Z06 nose mask.

Zip’s Speed Lingerie brand is all about shielding your Corvette’s factory beauty while preserving its high-quality aesthetics. The new C7 masks helps to achieve this goal by keeping bugs and debris from damaging your car’s paint.

According to Zip’s latest release, “Speed Lingerie nose masks are hand-crafted to exacting standards and manufactured with the highest quality color-matched materials. Color-matching makes Speed Lingerie masks ‘invisible’ at speed and won’t detract from your Corvette’s beautiful lines.

“The design features triple-layer construction with a moisture-wicking internal layer, durable and smooth seams with a double stitch, a cleverly engineered pattern design, light shields and non-metallic fasteners.

“These nose masks are specifically patterned for the Corvette Stingray model and tested to provide serious performance with a beautifully tailored fit. Speed Lingerie nose masks will not flap, shift or rub. They are speed rated to 150 mph and easily handles road conditions found on the longest tour or the fastest tracks.”

And thanks to the paint-friendly fastening system and perfect fitment, no drilling or modification is required – meaning the mask can come off as easily as it goes on.

So if you find yourself sweating over a slew of nicks and dings all over your C7’s face, check out Zip Corvette’s website to keep the damage at bay.
