The back bumper for sure!
Have a question for all you wide tire guys/gals. Does your rear quarter
panels get dirty quicker now since you switched to wider tire/rims?

It'd have to be the rear quarter panel and the clear mud flaps 
They usually get coated in rubber pretty good 
And like everyone else said, the rear end seems to collect all the dust

Around the taillights Bilyk - and a Happy Canada Day to you and all fellow Canucks. Today will be a relaxing midweek break from work, filled with ribald frivolity, reckless debauchery, licentious abandon, and servitude as we roar around the valley in our 'Vettes, meet and great old friends and neighbours, attend the Peachland parade and boogie into the wee hours of the morning!

My concave rear facia is maybe the 2nd worst area.
With the white painted wheels on my 35th Anna, they are definitely the first to show grime and the hardest to maintain.

Obviously I know exactly what 65Z01 deals with

Always the rear bumper and the lip under the taillights.

Whole fricking car!!!
Damn fiberglass dust magnets! :mad :mad
I wash it, pull it straight into the garage, and before it is even dry, it is dirty already! Those damn taillights!

Lower panels including rear quarters and the front nose. Luckily the lower portions bend under as a shark and are not very noticeable when dirty.

I'd have to say, my hood, and the rear bumper both the same. For some reason the hood gets littered with dust....probably a mixture of my 80 mph average driving and 10 mph dusty winds here in AZ 
Also, the black splash guards get ungodly dirty from all the dirt and gravel. Someone needs to friggin clean the roads out here. But then again...a black vette is gonna show like everything in clear daylight. I'm sure it's the same with all vettes, but the other colors may do better at camoflauging all the dirt and other crap.
