What We Love About Ken’s Build
Ken's 2021 Corvette Stingray stands out with its striking Crystal Red Tintcoat, beautifully contrasted by a carbon flash vinyl wrap on the roof, hood, hatch, and mirror caps. This combination creates a dynamic and eye-catching look.
The addition of ACS Composite parts, like the 5VM front splitter and rear diffuser inserts, enhances both style and performance. These modifications not only improve aerodynamics but also give the Corvette a bold, aggressive stance. Ken's thoughtful choices result in a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality, making his Stingray truly unique.
Mod List
5VM Front Splitter
Ken's choice to add the 5VM Front Splitter was a masterstroke. On the Crystal Red Tintcoat, the splitter's Carbon Flash Black finish creates a striking contrast, drawing attention to the sharp, angular front fascia. This splitter complements the aggressive design of the C8 Stingray, adding a race-inspired edge that visually lowers the car for a sportier stance.
The splitter not only enhances aerodynamics but also gives the Stingray a refined, purposeful look that screams high performance. It seamlessly ties into the black accents across the body, especially the vinyl-wrapped hood and roof, ensuring a cohesive and dramatic front-end look.

ACS Composite C8 Stingray License Plate Filler
Word The License Plate Filler might seem like a subtle addition, but on Ken's Corvette, it plays a significant role in refining the rear fascia. With the Carbon Flash Black finish, it eliminates the visual clutter of an unused plate mount, creating a smooth and uninterrupted rear profile.
On the 2LT Coupe, this mod looks especially clean, complementing the aggressive styling of the rear diffuser. By removing distractions from the rear, the filler makes the vibrant Crystal Red Tintcoat pop even more, highlighting the sleek lines and muscular curves of the Corvette.

ACS Composite C8 Stingray E-Ray Diffuser Inserts
The E-Ray Diffuser Inserts are a bold addition to Ken’s build, enhancing both aerodynamics and visual appeal. On the 2021 Stingray, these inserts bring depth and dimension to the rear end, creating a more dramatic and aggressive stance.
The Carbon Flash Black finish perfectly complements the license plate filler and the Z51 wickers, tying the entire rear look together. The inserts create a seamless blend of style and function, giving Ken’s Corvette a custom, track-ready look while improving airflow for better stability. It’s a smart choice that balances form and function.

ACS Composite Z51 Wickers
The Z51 Wickers were a great choice to enhance the rear aerodynamics and aesthetics of Ken’s Stingray. They add a bold and sporty element to the vehicle’s silhouette, emphasizing the car’s width and presence on the road. On the Crystal Red Tintcoat, the Carbon Flash Black finish of the wickers creates a stunning contrast, tying into the diffuser and license plate filler.
The wickers elevate the Corvette’s aggressive look, making it stand out even more. They also provide a functional benefit by improving downforce at high speeds, a must-have for enthusiasts who want both style and performance.

ACS Composite Carbon Flash Black License Plate Frame
Ken’s decision to add Carbon Flash Black License Plate Frame is another example of his attention to detail. This mod might seem small, but on the Crystal Red Tintcoat, it acts as a subtle yet cohesive touch that brings the whole build together.
By matching the frame to other Carbon Flash Black accents, Ken ensures that no detail feels out of place. It’s proof that even the smallest mods can make a big impact when done thoughtfully. The frame blends perfectly with the other ACS parts, creating a unified and polished look.
