C7 and C8 Corvette Splitters from ACS Composite, plus this One Favorite Part That Should Be Your C8’s First Mod

With the new year well underway, do you have your list of goodies that you’re hoping to add to your Corvette this year? Our friends at ACS Composite are here to help owners of C7 and C8 Corvettes reach their full potential for style and performance with high quality parts that can be counted on to fit directly out of the box.

This spotlight on ACS Composite takes a back-to-basics approach with products that any C7 or C8 Corvette owner should have on their car, especially if a previous owner may have spec’d it differently than what you would have done. A new year offers the perfect reason to right those wrongs and make your car the perfect ride that you deserve.

ACS 1VM C8 Front Splitter

Are you still driving a C8 Corvette Stingray without a front splitter? These cars were designed with aerodynamics in mind and these cars were made to wear a front splitter. ACS Composite’s 1VM Front Splitter hits the sweet spot as it’s more aggressive than the standard Z51 spoiler but not as much as their 5VM splitter. As there are no winglets on the side, the 1VM Front Splitter offers a sleek and stealthy appearance without sacrificing on its aggressive purpose.

The 1VM Front Splitter is constructed as a one-piece component with no visible seams, and they are finished in Carbon Flash Metallic (CFZ) to match the factory trim and rear fascia. They are manufactured from ACS Composite’s proprietary PC Composite material which is very strong yet lightweight, and they resist chips and scrapes better than those constructed from fiberglass or carbon fiber.


Installation is identical for both base Corvettes equipped without a front splitter, or those that are equipped with the Z51 splitter. The 1VM utilizes the same mounting holes as the OEM Z51 splitter so it is just a matter of removing the T15 screws already on the front of the car, adding the splitter with just four to five screws in place but not tight so you can properly position it, and then tighten those up and then add the final screws to complete the install.

ACS Composite offers the 1VM C8 Front Splitter for $599 and shipping is free. Check out the installation video for more details!



ACS C7 Undertray

Whether you have a C7 Stingray or a Grand Sport/Z06, the ACS Composite C7 Undertray System offers top-notch protection in keeping your front splitter safe from road damage, while also increasing performance through better handling and stability. The undertray system offers:

• Top-Notch Protection: Keep your Corvette’s front splitter safe from road damage by providing unmatched durability against scrapes and hazards.
• Boosted Performance: Experience better handling and stability thanks to improved aerodynamics by reducing drag and increasing downforce for a smoother ride.
• Efficient Design: Maximizing your splitter’s functionality to ensures a balanced and dynamic driving experience with enhanced downforce.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: With Scrape Guards included, expect prolonged protection and endurance for your Corvette.
• Straightforward Installation: The unique bracket system fits perfectly, requiring no modifications and making installation and servicing a breeze.

ACS has also engineered protective Scrape Guards that are installed on the underside of the C7 undertray, and they take the impact when the front splitter bottoms out. The Scrape Guards are also made from the durable PC Composite material, and they can be replaced as they wear down. Together, the Undertray and Scrape Guards offer complete protection for the C7 Z06 front splitter. The ACS C7 Undertray System will not fit an OEM Z06 splitter. It’s only compatible with the ACS C7 Stingray Z06 Front Splitter or the widebody version for the C7 Z06 & Grand Sport. Both versions are available for $1,499 which includes the Z06-Style front splitter and the Undertray system. You can also upgrade the splitter’s aero to having Stage 2 Winglets or Stage 3 Deflectors.

2023+ C8 Corvette Z06 & E-Ray Rock Guards

What’s the difference between a C8 Corvette Z06 or E-Ray protected with ACS Composite’s patent-pending Rock Guards versus one that is not? The answer of course is the rocks. ACS designed their Rock Guards so that any rock chips or road debris picked up by your Michelins are forced downward and away thanks to the bladed design. In the rear, there is a mesh screen which protects the rear body work from damage while also stopping the collection of rocks, pebbles and other debris from getting lodged inside the bodywork’s unique tunnel.

Manufactured from ACS Composite’s PC Composite material, these Rock Guards are super strong to resist chipping and scrapes, and yet they are also surprisingly light. Appearance-wise, they don’t detract from the beauty of your Corvette’s design, and they are finished in Carbon Flash Metallic (CFZ) to match the other carbon flash trim on the car.


The E-Ray/Z06 Rock Guards feature the integrated tabs which snap into place inside the wheel wells, so installation is quick and easy. If you have some skinny tools, you don’t even need to remove the rear wheels to install as demonstrated by our friend Justin at HorsePower Obsessed.

These were the first mod added to our 2025 Corvette E-Ray and it should be your Corvette’s first mod as well. ACS Composite’s C8 Rock Guards for the Z06/E-Ray start at $649 for the 4-piece set, and shipping is included! You can see the official installation video below.
