Best in Show

If you are still here, then you likely read our first section on our introductory modifications. This section will focus on the bigger mods that can be done to your C7 Stingray that will elevate it to new levels only achieved using ACS Composite!

Zero7 Extractor Carbon Hood (45-8-009)

ACS Composite began its roots in aftermarket hood manufacturing. With over 20 years of experience, we manufactured hoods for the Ford GT, numerous private label work for SLP, VUHL, and Lingenfelter to name a few. We continue our pursuit for perfection in manufacturing aftermarket hoods, and consider ourselves one of the leading authorities on its manufacturing practices.

The ACS Zero7 Extractor Carbon hood is made from 100% aerospace grade carbon fiber. This allows for extreme lightweight properties while not sacrificing on quality and durability. The aerograde carbon fiber creates an incredibly rigid component that can withstand high speed performance.

Zero7 Extrator Carbon Window Hood (48-4-019)

Perhaps, a new hood isn't enough for you. Maybe, you want to show off the innards of the beautiful C7 engine compartment. Luckily, we took this into consideration and also offer our Zero7 Extractor Carbon Hood with a polycarbonate window to showcase the monster underneath.

Wider is Better

One of our first projects when we saw the Z06 was to make the wide body for the Stingray. The conversion kit is completely molded in our RTM composite, which involves high pressure compression molding for ultimate quality. 

The rear widebody adds 40mm to each side side and allows for a 20x12" wheel with 335|25|20 similar to the z06. The major benefit of our rear widebody kit is that you will not have to remove the OEM rocker panels, which is a lengthy and expensive procedure often involved with several widebody conversions! We offer four versions:
