The ACS Build of the Week series highlights the creativity and passion of Corvette enthusiasts. Each week, a unique Corvette build is showcased, featuring custom modifications and upgrades. These builds show how owners personalize their cars with ACS Composite parts, blending style with performance.
This week, we're featuring a 2016 Corvette Stingray 3LT Coupe in Laguna Blue. It's a stunning example of a classic Corvette brought back to life with a few key mods. This build is all about refreshing a well-loved vehicle and making it stand out on the road.
Detailed Overview of 2016 Corvette Build
The 2016 Corvette Stingray 3LT Coupe in Laguna Blue is a true head-turner. Known for its sleek lines and robust performance, this Stingray captures the essence of a modern sports car. The Laguna Blue color adds a unique flair, making it stand out even more on the road.
This Corvette was picked up at a Mecum auction in Kansas City. It had low mileage but needed some care. After a detailed restoration, the owner added ACS Composite mods to bring it up to date.
These enhancements include the Zero7 Side Rockers and a front splitter, which give the car a sharper, more aggressive look. The result is a refreshed Stingray that combines classic style with modern upgrades.

In-Depth Look at the ACS Composite Parts Used in This Build
Zero7 Side Rockers
The Zero7 Side Rockers are meticulously designed to afford the Corvette a lower, more assertive stance. Constructed from high-quality, durable materials, they align seamlessly with the contours of the C7, imparting a streamlined aesthetic.
Beyond their striking visual appeal, these side rockers play a pivotal role in enhancing the vehicle's aerodynamics. They effectively reduce drag and stabilize the car at elevated speeds, ensuring a smoother, more controlled driving experience.
The carbon flash metallic black finish creates a dramatic contrast with the Laguna Blue paint, adding a layer of bold sophistication to the car's appearance.

ACS-C7 Front Splitter
The ACS-C7 Front Splitter is a prominent modification in this build that significantly enhances the front-end dynamics of the Corvette. It is engineered to optimize airflow across the underbody, minimizing lift and directing air more efficiently, which is crucial for maintaining stability during high-speed runs.
This modification not only augments performance but also reinforces the Corvette’s aggressive frontal profile, making it more visually compelling. The primer finish offers versatility in customization—owners can match the splitter to the vehicle's color scheme or opt for a contrasting hue to add visual depth to the design.
