C8 Z06 Side Rocker for Stingray

Are you looking to add some C8 widebody aero to your Stingray? Now you can with these C8 Z06 Side Rockers for the Stingray. Side rockers provide improved aerodynamics as well as side impact protection from rock chips and road debris. The Z06-style rockers extend nearly two inches wider than the OEM Z51 rockers and they cover 3/4th of the side of the car. Finished in Carbon Flash Metallic, the rockers show a notch design and beveled edge 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.

ACS Composite uses injection molding with its proprietary PC Composite material to create a side rocker that is unmatched for strength and durability, and the black material hides any scrapes and impacts from rock chips. Unlike the Z51 OEM rockers which are finished in a textured plastic, 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.

ACS Composite offers an installation video in which you can see how the C8 Z06 Rockers are installed on the C8 Corvette Stingray and how they look once in place. The rockers share the same mounting holes as the OEM Z51 side rocker, and the install process uses six factory-style rivets per side and double-sided tape to hold it in place.

The C8 Z06 Side Rockers for the Stingray are priced at $749 per pair which includes free shipping.

C8 ZR1 Z06 Rear Diffuser Insert

When it comes to doing something about dressing up the plain Carbon Flash rear lower fascias on the high-performance Corvette Z06, ZR1, and now the ZR1X, look to ACS Composite for the perfect solution. First offered for the C8 Corvette Stingray (and compatible with the E-Ray), these C8 ZR1 and Z06 Rear Diffusers were designed to integrate perfectly with the quad center exhaust system. With this premium diffuser upgrade, your Z06 or ZR1 rear end goes from bland to bold while offering a motorsport-inspired look.

These C8 Z06/ZR1/ZR1X Rear Diffusers are much more than just a visual upgrade. The unique design serves to improve aerodynamic flow by channeling the air coming from your car’s undercarriage which helps to reduce turbulence and increasing rear stability. These are a great addition for those track-focused owners without distracting from the C8’s style.

ACS crafts these from their proprietary PC Composite material using precision injection molding—it’s tougher than standard ABS, holding up great against heat, minor scrapes, and impacts. They come painted in Carbon Flash Black and will blend seamlessly with the Corvette’s factory trim pieces, and you can also select from various body-color matches (or primer) for a bolder, more personalized style.

Installation of the C8 ZR1 Z06 Rear Diffusers are straightforward and completely reversible—no major surgery required. The inserts mount using custom brackets that tie into the stock mounting points on the rear fascia. It does involve drilling just a couple of small holes per panel into the underside of the rear fascia (nothing visible from the top side), but it’s a clean, low-commitment mod. Check out this video below where Joseph walks through the fitment and mounting on a C8 Z06—super helpful to see it in action.

Pricing for the C8 ZR1 and Z06 Rear Diffusers starts at $949 per set for the Carbon Flash versions while body color versions are $1,199 and free shipping is included.

C8 Coupe Rear Intake Ports

One of the “cool” upgrades on the new C8 ZR1 Coupe is that factory ductwork helping pull in extra air to keep the engine bay cooler under hard driving. The great news for C8 Coupe owners—whether you’ve got a Stingray, Z06, E-Ray, or even the ZR1—is that ACS Composite has already delivered their solution: the C8 Rear Intake Ports.

If we owned a C8 Coupe, we’d be jumping on these in a heartbeat. These C8 intake ports scoop fresh outside air from the sides and channel it straight into the engine compartment, boosting airflow, cutting down on trapped hot air, and helping keep those ambient temps lower for better performance and engine longevity.

The C8 intake ports blend right in with the C8 Corvette Coupe’s aggressive lines and are made from ACS’ proprietary PC Composite material which is lightweight yet 3x stronger than ABS plastic. They are available in OEM Carbon Flash Black or you can go custom with the body color versions or primer for custom paint applications.

Installation is a snap and 100% reversible so no drilling, no tape, and no permanent changes! The scoops grab onto the front V-shaped edge of the rear hatch, then are secured with the supplied fastener right through the outlet grills. It takes just a T15 tool and maybe a minute or two per side. Check out the installation video below as Joseph walks us through it, and you can see how clean the fit is on a real C8.

ACS Composite sells the C8 Rear Intake Ports as a pair for $929 with Free Shipping to the continental US and Canada, excluding Hawaii & Puerto Rico), and they’re built right here in North America.
