Stingray Rear Fascia Extensions
The Stingray Rear Fascia Extensions for the C7 Corvette improve aerodynamics by extending the lower section of the rear bumper, helping to channel airflow more efficiently. This reduces drag and enhances stability at higher speeds, while completing the car’s ground effects package for a seamless flow from front to rear.
These extensions add a more aggressive and sporty touch to the rear of the Corvette. By giving the bumper added depth, they create a sleek, cohesive finish that complements performance upgrades. This subtle mod enhances both the Corvette’s iconic style and its aerodynamic capabilities, making it an ideal choice for those looking to elevate their Stingray’s appearance and performance.
