C3 Corvette Seat Packages by Corbeau

Update your 1968-1982 C3 with a Corvette Seat Package by Corbeau. Each package includes (2) Corbeau GTS II or A4 seats and all necessary brackets and hardware to replace your Corvette’s factory seats and tracks. Our Corbeau seats bolt directly in – without any modification. Now you can be securely held in place with custom bucket seats instead of being tossed around in your worn-out factory seats. Even new or reupholstered factory replacement seats are flat and offer very little support when racing your Corvette or turning in hard corners.

One of the most unique features with the C3 Corvette Corbeau seat package is that these Corvette Parts are custom shaved seats with significantly lowered mounting brackets and sliders to allow drivers up to 6’ tall to comfortably ride without rubbing their heads on the roof! Other brackets that supposedly “fit” set the driver up much higher in the vehicle than the factory seats did, creating an awkward riding position.

The extremely comfortable GTS II is the perfect seat for the everyday driver. This heavily padded seat features deep side and lateral bolsters providing maximum comfort and support. Standard features of the Corbeau GTS II include: high density injection molded foam, orthopedic design, adjustable headrest, and a fully adjustable seat back with a flip forward fingertip controlled lever for rear access. The GTS II will fit up to a 38″ waist. Cloth seats are available in black or gray.

The dynamic A4 Corbeau cloth seat is the perfect application for tight spaces and minimal headroom applications. Standard features include: high-density injection molded foam, ergonomic design, harness belt capability, integrated shoulder, kidney and thigh support, leatherette high wear patches, and a fully adjustable seat back with a flip forward fingertip controlled lever for rear access. The A4 is extra aggressive in the kidney area and has harder cushioning. It will fit up to a 34-36″ waist. Specify color when ordering.

C5 Chrome Wheel Center Caps

Check out these sweet looking C5 and C6 Corvette Wheel Center Caps from Zip! Adding these Corvette Parts to your factory or aftermarket wheels is a simple, relatively inexpensive way to personalize and set apart your Corvette without having to change the wheels!

C6 Wheel Center Caps

The 1997-1999 C5 Chrome Center Caps look amazing on both factory painted and aftermarket chrome wheels. Install as is, or remove the emblems from your stock centers and snap them onto the chrome caps for an OE appearance.

The 2005-2012 C6 Corvette Wheel Center Caps are beautifully crafted and available in multiple colors and finishes. Featuring Jake, his alter-ego, Elwood, or the Carbon Edition design, these caps scream attitude and showcase your Corvette racing pride. Installation is easy – simply pop out the factory wheel center cap and insert one of these custom GM caps!

All center caps are sold in sets of four.

C4 Corvette Steering Column Pivot

A faulty 1984-1986 Corvette Steering Column Turn Signal & Dimmer Switch Actuator Pivot can compromise your Corvette’s safety systems by not allowing you to properly utilize your turn signals or dim your headlights. A working pivot is essential for the safe operation of your Corvette. Recently discontinued by GM, this was a hard-to-find, but necessary, Corvette Part. Corvette wrecking yards have been hesitant to sell the part individually, since it essentially eliminates a good working steering column from their inventory.

But now, a new pivot is just a phone call or mouse click away from your C4.  Zip’s new reproduction replaces the original and puts you back into the safe operating zone.

It’s possible that your situation is more serious with cracked or missing pieces of glass. Or maybe…..just maybe….your mirrors are in the most dire of all conditions – loose and flapping helplessly in the breeze!

No matter the current condition of your 1953-1979 outside mirrors, Zip has the Corvette Parts you need to make your restoration respectable once more. From Guide Y-50′s to 1975-1979 large heads, we carry a large supply of chrome mirrors. All are correct reproductions that include mount kits with installation hardware.

Cleartastic Front End Protection

You’ve spent countless hours making sure your Corvette looks its best and is ready for the open road.  But on that road lurks rocks, sand and other forms of debris that could subject your paint job to tiny chips and scratches. Protect your investment with Cleartastic’s new invisible C6 Corvette Front End/Nose Kit. It offers the best of both worlds – protection for your Corvette’s paint without covering it up.

Most clear front end paint protection kits have to be professionally installed – but this one can be a DYI project! Its unique precision pre-cut design and the film’s incredible flexibility makes this installation very user friendly! Each kit comes with easy step by step instructions, saving you a nice chunk of change on installation costs.

The C6 Corvette Front End Kit protects the full face of your front end which is exposed and vulnerable to the brunt of oncoming debris. Cleartastic Plus film uses Nano Synthesis Technology which makes this film noticeably optically clear over other paint protection films. Unlike other brands, Cleartastic Plus film does not have an “orange peel” look but more of a “smooth as glass” appearance. This obviously translates into a better finish once applied to your Corvette! Cleartastic Plus is 8mil thick which provides outstanding protection against stone chips, bug acid, sand, scratches, rocks and road debris. Cleartastic film even resists stains – so your protection will look great for years to come.

Cleartastic’s Plus film has a mild adhesive allowing it to endure high speeds over 200 mph. Withstands extreme hot, cold temperatures and harsh weather conditions. The film is removable (not reusable) and leaves no residue. The one time application provides years of worry free protection.

Fits base model C6 Corvette only – does not fit Z06, ZR1 or Grand Sport models.

1997-2012 Corvette Tunnel Plate

Everyone wants their late model Corvette to be the hottest car on the road…..but hot should mean cool, not sweltering!  You may find it hard to stay cool while driving your C5 or C6 Corvette – high temperatures in the center console area have always been an issue. The heat you’re feeling is from the exhaust system, radiating up through the driveline tunnel. But we’ve got good news – there is an easy fix!

Replace the factory close out panel with a new Elite Engineering Tunnel Plate and you can expect a noticable difference! C5 owners will enjoy an estimated 90+ degree drop in temperature under the center console and C6 Corvette owners can expect about 60+ degree drop of the same. The new tunnel plate is a 1/4 inch aluminum plate verses the factory stamped steel plate in a C5 Corvette or the 1/8 aluminum plate used on all factory C6 Corvettes. The Elite Engineering plate has a ceramic coating on all sides and composite fiberglass thermal material on the underside to prevent unwanted heat from radiating up through the console.

These plates are valuable Corvette Parts that both stiffen your Corvette’s chassis and provide a substantial drop of interior temperature, making your daily driving even more enjoyable. Installation takes about an hour so you can get back on the road – cooler and more comfortable.

Corvette Serpentine Belt Tensioner

If you’ve noticed a noise coming from the belt area of your 1984 Corvette but upon inspection, the serpentine belt seems to be in good shape, it may be time to replace the belt tensioner. Over time, the belt tensioner can suffer damage, dents and broken components, making it loose or weak.

Zip offers a correct reproduction 1984 Corvette Serpentine Belt Tensioner, manufactured as original. This is no generic replacement tensioner, it includes a correct aluminum bracket with steel pulley. Installation is relatively easy for the seasoned “do-it-yourself” enthusiast.

C4 Corvette Hi-Rise Fiberglass Hood

Did you see Zip on last night’s Corvette episode of Car Warriors on the SPEED Channel (aired April 11, 2012)?

One-piece inner retainer is smooth-finished as from the factory. Exterior surface is gel-coated and ready for prep and painting. Uses original mounting hardware, lights and inner fenders.

Hi-rise hood features a 2 3/4″ rise in the center for additional clearance and is a fully functional cowl induction hood.

A&A Corvette Superchargers

The A&A C5 & C6 Corvette Supercharger Kits bring you dramatic increases in power while not degrading everyday drivability or highway gas mileage! The system utilizes a large blow off valve that remains open at cruise and light throttle. Essentially, this allows the supercharger to “freewheel” under normal conditions. Average increase TO THE REAR WHEELS is approximately 175 RWHP! No other modification- in this price range- even comes close.

Belt wrap is the key to eliminating belt slip and A&A’s proprietary bracket system offers more belt wrap than any other system on the market. All brackets are CNC machined from 5/8” high quality 6061 aluminum plate and fly cut on both sides to assure absolute consistency in thickness. This is imperative for proper belt alignment.

Intercoolers are as large as practical for a Corvette, but the placement and attention given to airflow management is unmatched with these Corvette Parts. An intercooler must have as much ambient airflow through the core area as possible to be efficient. A&A’s design is the only one that is 100% exposed to frontal airflow through the use of directional scoops. Not one square inch of the intercooler is shrouded by the frame or bodywork.

Airflow through the rear of the intercooler is also important. Most designs place the intercooler tightly against the radiator and air conditioning condenser. A&A places its intercoolers with a large space between these components which aids in airflow through the intercooler as well as airflow to the radiator and condenser.

Intercooler positioning is equally important in how it affects engine cooling. This intercooler is placed much further forward than any other design to eliminate overheating problems. This allows the fans to draw cooling air through the radiator and AC condenser without being shrouded by the intercooler. Radiators are mounted in its upright position for better cooling.

The inlet duct from the high flow air filter to the supercharger inlet is also designed with superior airflow in mind. The curves are smooth and cross-sectional area is large. This all translates into lower inlet temps and more power output.

100% bolt-on system includes a Vortech Si-Trim head unit which is recommended for all stock engines or engines with mild modifications only. (headers, camshaft, etc.) The Si-Trim is easily capable of 650 RWHP on a mildly modified engine. Kit includes 3.6” supercharger pulley, brackets, aluminum Turbosmart blowoff valve, air intake, silicone couplers, stainless clamps, high-capacity fuel injectors and LPE fuel pump.

Fit and finish is second to none. All brackets, ductwork and the Vortech supercharger is show polished. The top shroud fits perfectly and is powder coated satin black to compliment the polished components. All the visible couplers are high quality silicone and are polished stainless steel.

NOTE: Custom PCM calibration based on specific vehicle and engine modifications will be required for use with these kits.

Turn-key sound better than do-it-yourself? Zip can install and provide our own custom tuning for your C5 or C6 Corvette supercharger install. Call us at 1-800-962-9632 for more information.
