What We Love About This Build
Riprock’s 2023 Torch Red Corvette Stingray stands out thanks to its bold color and sleek Carbon Flash Black accents. The striking contrast between the deep red paint and the ACS Composite parts adds an aggressive edge to the car’s overall design.
This combination isn't just visually appealing—it also serves a purpose. The 1VM Splitter up front gives the Stingray a streamlined look while improving aerodynamics, thanks to its winglet-delete design.
Pairing that with the Z06 Rockers and the High Wing Spoiler, the car’s side profile and rear are transformed into a track-ready beast, all while maintaining a clean and stylish appearance for everyday driving. Together, these mods create a perfect blend of form and function, making Riprock's Corvette look both powerful and refined.
Mod List
ACS 1VM Splitter
The ACS 1VM Splitter in Carbon Flash Black sharpens the front end of Riprock’s Corvette, giving it a clean, sleek appearance. Its winglet-delete design enhances the car's streamlined look, reducing drag and increasing downforce for improved stability at speed.
Crafted from durable PC Composite, the splitter is built to withstand road debris and heat, ensuring long-lasting performance. This mod adds both style and functionality, making Riprock’s Corvette more aggressive and aerodynamic without compromising its refined design.

C8 Z06 Rockers
The C8 Z06 Rockers give Riprock’s Corvette a wider, more aggressive stance, instantly enhancing its side profile. At nearly two inches wider than the stock Z51 rockers, they create a more muscular appearance while improving aerodynamic efficiency.
Finished in Carbon Flash Metallic Black, these rockers seamlessly match the Stingray’s factory trim, adding a cohesive, polished look. Beyond aesthetics, they also offer extra protection against road debris, making them a stylish yet practical upgrade for any Corvette enthusiast.

C8 High Wing Spoiler
The C8 High Wing Spoiler is a striking upgrade that dramatically enhances the rear profile of Riprock’s Corvette. Its bold design not only grabs attention but also improves rear stability by channeling airflow down onto the rear tires, increasing traction during fast acceleration and sharp cornering.
Finished in Carbon Flash Metallic Black, this spoiler perfectly complements the car’s existing black trim and ties in seamlessly with other ACS upgrades like the splitter and rockers. The high-wing design gives the Corvette a more aggressive, track-ready stance while enhancing performance, making it both a functional and visually impactful addition.
