C4 Corvette Door Speaker Grill

The Corvette Speaker Grill (or speaker cover) on the door of your C4 takes a beating over time.  It gets a jolt each time the door slams and it’s probably taken more than a few direct kicks over the years as you exit the Corvette.  The result: a broken, scuffed or torn speaker grill. It’s one of those Corvette Parts that will eventually need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear.

But there’s a simple fix. New replacement speaker covers from Zip will help give the interior of your 1984-1989 C4 Corvette that new car look once again. These door speaker grills are equipped with an unornamented center bar to save you the cost of replacing the emblem OR if you elect to add the emblem, simply drill two pilot holes and mount the Bose emblem. Speaker cover grills are low gloss black instead of the factory flat black for a show car look. Order a pair for your car today!

C3 Corvette CB Microphone

Long before the days of GPS units, smart phones and satellite radio…there was the CB radio. Once a must-have for keeping tabs on road conditions, the CB beckons a simpler era of long road trips and camaraderie among drivers. Although its heyday has long since passed – the last year a CB radio was offered as a Corvette option was 1985 - this piece of Americana still has its place among Corvette restorers and enthusiasts.

If  the radio on your 1978-1982 C3 is equipped with CB functionality, Zip now offers a C3 Corvette Reproduction CB Microphone to complete the unit.  Whether you’re looking to restore your C3 to its original factory condition, or just want to pay tribute the good old days, Zip has the Corvette Parts you need to get the job done.

DiabloSport takes extensive care in providing it’s customers with the most powerful, efficient, and warranty-safe tuning available. The Trinity’s tuning options vary depending on the vehicle that is being tuned. The DiabloSport Trinity also supports custom tuning and can hold an additional 5 custom tunes. The Trinity contains the most adjustable parameters in the market.

With over 100MB of on-board memory devoted solely to recording and playing back diagnostic PID/DMR data, it allows users to record hours and hours of continuous data streams directly from the vehicle’s PCM/ECM. The Trinity interprets PID and DMR data received from the OBD-II Diagnostic port on your Corvette and converts it into a readable format: A Virtual Gauge! Individual user customization is one of Trinity’s most recognizable features. With Trinity’s dynamic gauge layout, there is literally an infinite number of combinations/customization of gauges to view! Users can even set up gauge alarms and shift points based on precise vehicle data, using the Trinity’s LED lights.

Using parameters such as vehicle speed, peak torque, wheel speed and others, the Trinity is able to accurately compute quarter mile, 1/8 mile or 0-60 and 0-100 time trials. Keep in mind that these numbers may or may not be accurate depending on variables, but they sure are fun to see! The Trinity’s virtual tree allows users to choose to either monitor their reaction time (like the real world) or have the tree start when they press the gas from a stop. There are advantages to both!

Trinity can also be used as a diagnostic code reader. Save yourself hundreds of dollars each year by reading/clearing your own computer codes rather than paying a Chevrolet Corvette dealer to do the same. It’s as easy as a few simple steps. The DiabloSport Trinity’s diagnostic code reader function can be used on multiple vehicles at any given time.

C4 Fuel/Trip Reset Buttons
