ACS Composite is Your Trusted Aftermarket Provider of Great Parts and Accessories for the C8 Corvette

C8 owners have a lot of options when choosing to add aftermarket products to their C8 Corvettes, but the first thing they should be asking themselves has to do with trust. Can you trust the product to fit like its advertised? Can you trust the company to stand behind it should something go wrong? And finally, would you buy from this company again if given the opportunity?

Starting with the C5 Corvette, our friends at ACS Composite have been building a great community of loyal Corvette owners for over 20 years now. Today, they have one of the best names in the business as they continue to offer fresh new designs of beautiful and functional aftermarket parts and accessories for the C8 Corvette. This month, we are featuring a new Front Z07 Splitter for the Z06/E-Rays, the customer favorite C8 Rock Guards, and one of our newest favorite products, the C8 Coupe Engine Compartment Overlays.

C8 Coupe Engine Compartment Overlay

Many C8 Corvette owners specifically ordered the Coupe version to show off their V8 engine as the “Jewel under glass”, and yet Chevrolet chose to encircle your Corvette’s beating heart with raw, unfinished plastic. Now you can give your C8’s engine compartment a “best-in-show” appearance with ACS Composite’s Engine Compartment Overlay (ECO). These overlays will completely transform your C8’s engine bay by surrounding your engine with the same color as your exterior, or take your customization to the next level by bringing a secondary color into the mix.

ACS Composite makes their Engine Compartment Overlays from their proprietary PC Composite material which is thermally stable and designed for the high engine bay temperatures. There are two versions available depending on whether your Corvette has Magnetic Selective Ride Control, and it features one of the easiest installs possible. Just set it on top of the engine compartment’s frame and it’s held into place once the hatch bump stops sandwich it into place. No hardware, tools, or drilling required…just set it and forget it!


Not only will your Corvette Engine Bay will come alive with your chosen color circling your Corvette’s V8 engine, your engine bay will also be thanking your for these Engine Compartment Overlays as they will help to hide all the water spots that show up on the stock plastic overlays. Add a ceramic coating to these and your ECO panel cleanup will be a breeze.


When ordering the Engine Compartment Overlays, you can select a C8 Exterior Color, Mag Ride version, and you can even add a set of Louvered Engine Panels if your Corvette Coupe isn’t equipped with the Engine Appearance Package. A Carbon Flash Metallic Engine Compartment Overlay with Mag Ride is priced at $1,245.

C8 Corvette Z06/E-Ray Rock Guards

Looking at this Corvette Z06 photo below, what do you see? If you said the number 1 way to protect your Corvette Z06 or E-Ray against rock chips and road debris, you would be correct! This Z06 is wearing ACS Composite’s Z06/E-Ray Rock Guards, specifically engineered for the widebody design of these two sports cars. Despite their large footprint inside the wheel well, their appearance from the outside takes nothing away from inherent beauty of the widebody Corvette design.

ACS Composite’s Z06/E-Ray Rock Guards are a favorite of Corvette owners due to how well they work in controlling rocks and other road debris picked up by your tires. Michelin’s high-performance tires for the Corvette are huge and offer a large contact area for grabbing the road, however, those super sticky tires are also known for picking up stones, rocks and other debris. But instead of the rocks and debris begin kicked back against your Corvette’s side panels, they hit the ACS Rock Guards and are directed downward and away from your car. The Rock Guards utilize a wide edge and a bladed shield to help prevent debris from entering the wheel wheels and those that do are prevented from being sent rearward.


The Z06 and E-Ray widebody design was even more of an engineering challenge for ACS Composite to overcome due to the rear wheel wells having a narrow pass-thru outlet in the body panels. We think ACS Composite’s patent-pending solution is very well done as they added a tunnel with a serviceable insert that holds a grill screen and mesh to prevent rocks from getting through. The C8 Z06/E-Ray Rock Guards are manufactured from PC Composite material which is very hard and offers better protection due to its ability to resist chipping. The lightweight rock guards are relatively weightless, and are finished in Carbon Flash Black Metallic to perfectly match your C8 Corvette’s trim, fascia, and other aesthetics.


Installation of the ACS Composite Rock Guards are effortless and it takes about 30 minutes to install all four in the set (two front, two rear). These Rock Guards utilize existing OEM mounting points for a secure fit and no drilling or double-sided tape is required. ACS Composite Rock Guards for the C8 Corvette Z06 and E-Ray are priced at $649 per set and shipping is free. Got a C8 Stingray? ACS Composite offers the C8 Corvette Stingray Rock Guards for $499 with free shipping included.

C8 Z06/E-Ray Front Splitter

This C8 Corvette Z06 Z07 E-Ray Front Splitter is the newest product from ACS Composite and it will provide your Corvette Z06 or E-Ray an upgrade in both performance and styling when installed. This precision-designed Z07-styled front splitter offers both great looks while also enhancing your Corvette’s frontal downforce for better grip and stability through the turns. The splitter is finished in Carbon Flash and will perfectly match all your other black exterior trim on your Corvette Z06 or E-Ray.


The ACS Z07 Front Splitter is a one-piece design that offers the looks of the C8 Z06’s Z07 front splitter, but without the required canards/dive planes. It’s finished in Carbon Flash Black Metallic so it will match your standard rocker panels and other trim and fascia components. The splitter is manufactured from their proprietary PC Composite material which offers three times the strength and is more scratch resistant than those made from fiberglass or ABS Plastic. No drilling is required during installation and it’s completely reversible.

ACS Composite’s C8 Z06/E-Ray Front Splitter is priced beginning at $1,599 USD and shipping is included.
