C8 Stingray Example

Let’s explore an example of customizing a C8 Corvette Stingray and previewing available ACS accessories:

Splitter

Selecting a splitter for your C8 Corvette Stingray...

For front splitters, you have choices such as the Z51 splitter, 1VM splitter, 5VM splitter, and 7VM splitter, or you can opt to keep the stock look without adding a splitter.

Let's choose the C8 7VM Front Splitter because it gives the frontend a nice aggressive look thanks to the large winglets on the side.

Side Rockers

Selecting a rocker for your C8 Corvette Stingray...

Available rocker options include Z51 rockers, Z06 rockers, 1VM rockers, 5VM rockers, and 7VM rockers.

For this example, let's choose the C8 7VM Rockers to match the 7VM Front Splitter. While it is perfectly fine to mix and match your aero setup, I am going to go for a more streamlined approach and keep it consistent front to back.

Spoilers

Selecting a spoiler for your C8 Corvette Stingray...

Spoiler options include the Z51 spoiler, Speedtail spoiler in Carbon Flash Black (CFZ), Z06 spoiler, CFZ painted Z06 spoiler, and the popular high wing spoiler.

Note: You can also select spoiler wickers, which are only accessible if the Z51 spoiler is selected.

Let's turn the car around and install a Z51 Spoiler with the ACS C8 Z51 Wickers on it.

Diffuser

Selecting a diffuser for your C8 Corvette Stingray...

Rear diffusers can be selected in either CFZ or painted finishes, adding a distinctive touch to your Corvette’s rear end.

Seems like we are building something pretty aggressive and unique here, so let's go ahead and get even crazier and put a color-matched C8 Stingray Diffuser Insert on the car as well.

Miscellaneous

Explore additional ACS accessories...

Customize further with options like intake ports, mini spoilers, rock guards, and C8 canards, all available in CFZ or painted finishes.

Each part can be selected and applied to your virtual vehicle, providing real-time visualization to see how each modification will look when installed. This feature allows you to instantly understand the visual impact of each part on your C8 Corvette Stingray.

After turning the car on its side, I can't help but think it's missing something...

Let's try the C8 Coupe Intake Ports and see what that does:

The color-matched version is a little too tame for me. Let's try it in Carbon Flash Metallic Black.

There we go! Thank looks more on theme.

And, since we are here, let's throw on the C8 Stingray Canards and really get an aggresive front-end!

Now, we are talking. I think I am happy with this build. Now, if only I can get this C8 Corvette Stingray is this color...

Step 5: Utilizing Additional Features

Snapshot Feature: Capture and save images of your customized builds using the snapshot feature. This is great for sharing your designs with friends or keeping a record of your customization options. Note that this feature might be temporarily unavailable, so check for updates. Alternatively, you can always use your computer’s screenshot function.

Product Page Links: Once your build is complete and you’re satisfied with your selection, the configurator provides direct links to detailed product pages. Clicking on the part numbers in your summary takes you to the corresponding product pages, where you can find specifications, pricing, and more.

Part List: The configurator generates a list of all the selected parts along with their part numbers. This list is useful for keeping track of your choices and serves as a reference when contacting ACS Composite for further inquiries or purchases.
