Why We Chose This Build
We selected Dave’s 2018 Corvette Grand Sport as this week’s Build of the Week because it perfectly balances style with a personal touch. Dave’s use of ACS Composite parts subtly enhances the Corvette’s original design, proving that sometimes, less is more.
The Long Beach Red Metallic paint makes this car stand out with a bold, sophisticated look. Dave's modifications reflect the passion shared by many in the Corvette community. His build demonstrates how a few carefully chosen Corvette mods can truly make a car unique. That’s why it’s our Build of the Week.
What Dave B. Thinks about His Upgrade
“Replaced existing splitter and stage three deflectors. I don't know if the ones on my C7 were factory or not. What I do know is the quality of ACS was far superior. The new splitter and deflectors look fantastic. Not my last purchase from ACS.” — Dave B.
Dave B's Mod List
ACS Composite Z06 Splitter
The ACS Composite Z06 Splitter was the perfect choice for Dave to add a sharper, more aggressive front-end look to his Grand Sport. Finished in Carbon Flash Metallic Black, it not only enhances the car’s appearance but also improves stability at high speeds.
Dave appreciated that the splitter is made from strong PC Composite, which is three times tougher than ABS, ensuring durability against scrapes and bumps. For even better performance and protection, Dave could also add the ACS Undertray System.
Performance Benefits of the Z06 Splitter
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Z06 Splitter provides practical protection by guarding the lower front end of the Corvette from road debris and potential damage. This is crucial for maintaining the car in top condition, especially for a model like the Grand Sport, designed for enthusiastic driving.

ACS Stage 2.5 Wickers
The ACS Composite Stage 2.5 Wickers add heightened aggression to the rear of the car. Finished in Carbon Flash Metallic Black, they not only look great but also complement the Stage 3 Front Splitter perfectly.
A great choice for a balanced ride!
