Corvette Grand Sport Fender Trim

Since the Corvette Grand Sport was introduced for the 2010 model year, some Corvette enthusiasts have been fixated on the Grand Sport’s front fender vents. People love those things. Cudos to Corvette Chief Stylist, Tom Peters, and his team of exterior designers for making the Grand Sport exterior so good looking.

It’s no news flash that Corvette enthusiasts love to personalize their cars. A cottage industry has sprouted up making special trim pieces available for the Grand Sports’ fender vents.

Zip Corvette offers a full line of vent trim for 2010 and 2011 C6 Corvette Grand Sports. All the parts are made for Zip by American Car Craft, one of the premier manufacturers of stainless steel trim items for C6 Corvettes.

Zip has three levels of Grand Sport Vent Trim.

The first, is a two-piece set of “Laser Mesh Inserts”. This kit installs, one per side, into the rearmost of each set of side vents. The inserts are made of 304 stainless steel and are engineered to radiate unmatched sparkle and glitter. A laser cutter gives the stainless steel a precise diamond mesh pattern. After cutting, the inserts are hand-tooled to remove sharp edges. They are made of 304 stainless which means they will never tarnish, pit or loose luster. Zip Corvette’s laser-cut, diamond mesh makes a higher-quality Corvette part than are some less-expensive products made with wire mesh. Each is coated with a strong adhesive and installation is peel-and-stick.

Zip also has a second, six-piece kit which uses the same construction and quality but puts mesh grills on all three vent openings.

The third of Zip’s C6 Corvette Grand Sport vent trim products is a four-piece set of plates that go on the side of each vent. Each plate is made of the same 304 stainless as the vent diamond mesh parts, but is designed to bond to the sides of the vents. These stainless steel plates are adhesive-backed and installation is peel-and-stick. You have a choice of two finishes, brushed or polished.

So…you can have it three different ways or a combination of all three but no matter what you choose for your Grand Sport, it will have the best looking vents in town.

When some C6 Corvette owners open the hood and look at their engines, they feel the stock Corvette exhaust manifolds are unsightly. Traditional solutions have been to convert the Corvette to Long Tube Headers which are ceramic-metallic-coated or made of stainless steel or remove the stock manifolds and have them ceramic-metallic coated. The problem with those two ideas is that, while the end result looks good, the cost can be high.

Zip Products has another way to mitigate the unsightliness of the stock, C6 Corvette exhaust manifolds. Zip bolts on a set of their C6 Corvette Exhaust Header Guards. Made in the USA out of 304 stainless steel by American Car Craft, these parts are perforated and hand-polished. They bolt onto the stock exhaust manifolds using the stock bolts.

These C6 Corvette exhaust manifold guards fit LS2, LS3, LS7 and LS9 engines. Installation is as simple as temporarily removing the spark plug wires, removing the four of the bolts on each manifold, putting the header guards in place and reinstalling the manifold bolts.

Do that and you C6ers out there can rid your under hood view of those unsightly manifolds.
