There’s only one name you need when you’re ready to start upgrading your C8 Corvette with aero accessories and that’s ACS Composite. They are well-known throughout the hobby as a provider of beautiful, high-quality parts and accessories that will you achieve the perfect look at an affordable cost. When you’re ready to build your masterpiece, visit our friends at ACS Composite.

This month we show you some of their latest aero accessories that will bring the Z06’s track-inspired look to your C8 Corvette Stingray.

C8 Stingray Z06 Rockers

C8 Stingray Z06 Rockers

We know that the new Corvette Z06 spent considerable time in GM’s wind tunnels as designers worked to find the best way to move air over and around the car. It turns out that everything is bigger on the Z06 and that starts with aero. ACS Composite now offers these Z06 Side Rockers for the Corvette Stingray. These are nearly two inches wider than the OEM Z51 Rockers, and they cover 3/4ths of the side of the car. Finished in Carbon Flash Metallic, the rockers show a notch design and beveled edge just like those on the Z06. The larger Z06 Rocker enhances the stance and side profile of the Stingray, and it looks like it absolutely belongs on the car.

This chart shows you how the Z06 Side Rocker compares with the OEM Z51 rocker:

ACS Composite manufactures its Z06 side rockers using its proprietary PC Composite material and it’s a great fit for the Corvette aero as it’s lightweight but very strong, and the black material hides scrapes and impacts from rock chips. You will also get the added benefit of additional rock chip protection with the wider design of the Z06 rockers over the OEM Z51 rockers. The C8 Stingray Z06 Side Rockers are finished in a matching Carbon Flash Metallic Black and will match the rest of the C8’s trim pieces.

The new C8 Z06 Side Rockers for the Stingray are priced at $749 per pair and shipping is free.

Check out the installation video which shows you how great they look on the Corvette Stingray. The Z06 rockers share the same mounting holes as the OEM Z51 side rocker, and the install process uses six rivets per side and double-sided tape to hold it in place.

C8 Stingray Diffuser Insert

How a Corvette moves through the air can significantly impact its speed, handling, and overall performance. On just looks alone, ACS Composite’s C8 Stingray Diffuser Inserts are a home run. Not only do they look great, but they also help reduce turbulence and direct fast-moving air away from the undercarriage. All race cars like the Corvette C8.R have some sort of rear diffuser to calm the air behind them, and now you can add one to your C8 Corvette Stingray.

ACS Composite knows that every detail matters when it comes to enhancing the aerodynamics of the C8 Corvette Stingray. The Rear Diffusers are manufactured from ACS Composite’s proprietary PC Composite via injection, and then are painted in Carbon Flash Black to perfectly match the Stingray’s trim parts. Select body colors are also available for even a bolder look. The Rear Diffusers are mounted to the car via two mounting brackets and four screws, and the modification is completely reversible.

C8 5VM Front Splitter

ACS Composite’s C8 5VM Front Splitter is a favorite of Corvette owners. You get the same great looks and performance as the OEM-style 5VM front splitter which matches the sharp lines of the C8’s nose while also directing air from the winglets to the front brakes for cooling. The 5VM splitters are a one-piece design and it offers a seamless look from corner to corner.

What makes ACS Composite’s front splitters different is that they are made from their proprietary PC Composite material which is molded via plastic injection. Automotive parts made from PC Composite are very durable and their resistance to heat is also great as well. One of its strongest characteristics is its ability to resist scraping and chipping. Unlike GM’s carbon fiber splitters that have a white substrate material that splinters upon impact, PC Composite is colored black so any chips or scrapes are barely noticeable.

Installation is easy using the factory bolts and the mod is completely reversible. The 5VM Front Splitter is offered the 2020+ C8 Corvette Stingray for $739 and shipping is free! Click here for the 5VM Front Splitter’s installation video.
