7VM Rockers
The 7VM Rockers bring a streamlined, sporty look to Red Dragon’s profile, giving the Corvette a lower and wider appearance that screams speed. These rockers aren’t just functional—they emphasize the Stingray’s muscular side profile, pulling the eye down and elongating the car’s sleek silhouette.
The durable Carbon Flash Black finish seamlessly ties into the splitter and diffuser for a cohesive look, making the Stingray appear grounded and ready to pounce. Opting for the 7VM Rockers was a smart choice; it adds continuity to Red Dragon’s design language while giving it a race-ready aesthetic that enhances both form and function.
