What We Love About This Build
Brian’s build is a perfect mix of bold design and functional upgrades. The ACS Composite Z06 Rockers add a sleek look to the sides while improving aerodynamics. They give the Stingray an aggressive yet polished profile.
The 5VM Splitter stands out at the front. It’s designed for durability and adds a sharp, race-inspired style. This splitter also improves airflow, making it more than just a visual upgrade.
At the rear, the Z51 Wickers complete the look. They enhance stability while adding depth to the car’s appearance. Together, these parts work seamlessly to create a stunning, performance-focused Corvette.
Mod List
ACS Composite Z06 Side Rockers
These side rockers lend a sharp, streamlined look to the Corvette, accentuating the sleek lines of the convertible body style. The deep Carbon Flash Black finish contrasts beautifully with the White Pearl Metallic Tri-Coat, highlighting the dynamic contours along the sides of the car.
Brian's decision to include these side rockers is spot-on for a Corvette seeking a blend of show and go. Not only do they add to the visual drama and sportiness of the vehicle, but their aerodynamic design also helps in reducing air drag, enhancing the high-speed stability that is crucial for a performance car like the Stingray.

ACS Composite Z51 Wickers
The Z51 Wickers modify the rear profile by extending the lines of the factory spoiler, giving the car a more aggressive and pronounced stance. The Carbon Flash Black finish integrates seamlessly with the other black trim elements on the vehicle, creating a cohesive and polished look.
Integrating these wickers was a wise choice for enhancing both aesthetics and function. They not only improve the sporty appeal of the Corvette but also increase downforce, which is vital for maintaining stability and control at high speeds—essential for any performance-focused car.

ACS Composite 5VM Splitter
Positioned at the front, this splitter makes an immediate statement with its bold, race-inspired design. It complements the aggressive front end of the Corvette, making the car appear lower and more grounded. The sharp angles and robust build of the splitter add a touch of rugged elegance to the overall design.
This splitter is not just a visual upgrade but a functional one that enhances the driving dynamics by improving airflow and reducing lift at the front. Brian's choice to add this mod underscores his commitment to both performance and style, ensuring that his Corvette not only looks track-ready but also performs to match.
