2024 Corvette C8 Z06 Z07 Rear Bumper Removal and Carbon Fiber Upgrades

After taking delivery of his 2024 Corvette C8 Z06 Z07 and driving it home from Kentucky to Arizona, my buddy next wanted to attack all the areas the carbon fiber package didn’t address, because as all you Corvette enthusiasts know, there are still many areas without carbon fiber! Today we will remove the rear bumper and replace three items with the aftermarket carbon fiber parts he ordered. Our goal is to share our experience and lessons learned with you and hopefully, if you want to do the same thing, perhaps make it just a tad easier for you.
