Product Overview
Take the front-end styling and aerodynamic efficiency of your 2023–Present Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 to the next level with the Z07 Extended Package Carbon Fiber Front Lip & Canards. This upgrade has been meticulously engineered to replicate the aggressive look of Chevrolet’s factory Z07 Performance Package, delivering both style and performance in a precision-fit design.
This package is compatible with all 2023–Present Corvette C8 Z06 models equipped with the Z07 Performance Package. For Z06 models without the Z07 package, light modification may be required to ensure a proper fit. Constructed from premium-grade carbon fiber, this front lip splitter and canard kit provides an ultra-lightweight yet durable solution, making it perfect for enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance and aesthetics.
The design features a one-piece front bumper lip splitter that is three inches wider on the sides and gradually tapers toward the center for a bolder, track-inspired look. The side canard splitters (left and right) enhance airflow management around the front fascia while amplifying the aggressive styling of the Z06. Finished in a high-gloss carbon fiber weave, the kit complements other carbon aero components for a unified appearance.
Package Included:
– 1 x Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 | Z07 Performance Extended Package Carbon Fiber One-Piece Front Bumper Lip Splitter
– 1 x Pair of Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 | Z07 Performance Package Carbon Fiber Side Canard Splitters (Left & Right)
– 1 x Bag of Mounting Hardware (Reuse OEM GM factory hardware where applicable)
Key Features
The 2023–Up Corvette C8 Z06 Z07 Extended Package Front Lip & Canards is designed for owners who want to maximize both performance and aggressive styling. Built from high-strength carbon fiber, this kit ensures superior rigidity, lightweight construction, and long-term durability under demanding driving conditions.
The Z07-inspired one-piece front lip splitter extends three inches wider on each side, gradually narrowing toward the center to create a powerful stance while optimizing downforce and stability at high speeds. The side canards act as aerodynamic fins, channeling airflow with precision and enhancing the race-ready profile of the Corvette.
A high-gloss carbon fiber finish protects against UV rays, oxidation, and fading while showcasing the carbon weave for a premium motorsport aesthetic. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the factory bumper, the kit delivers OEM-level fitment with the aggressive styling of a track car.
Pre-drilled mounting points make installation simple and accurate. No drilling is required, and the included cutting template allows the side canards to be adapted for Z06 models not originally equipped with the Z07 Performance Package. With a direct clip-on installation system and reusable OEM hardware, the process is straightforward, though professional installation is recommended for best alignment and finish.
For Corvette Z06 owners looking to replicate the bold aero styling of the Z07 Performance Package, this kit offers the perfect balance of aerodynamic function, lightweight performance, and show-stopping design.
Installation
The Z07 Extended Package Front Lip & Canards has been designed for easy installation, with pre-drilled mounting holes and hardware included for a secure fit. The splitter and canards mount directly to the factory bumper using existing GM hardware where necessary, with no permanent modifications required.
For Corvette C8 Z06 models without the Z07 Performance Package, a cutting template is included for proper canard placement. While the installation process is straightforward, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure a precise, factory-quality finish.
This kit is designed exclusively for the 2023–Present Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 and will not fit Stingray, Z51, or E-Ray models.

About Dry Carbon Fiber
Dry Carbon Fiber vs Wet Carbon Fiber — What’s the Difference?
Not all carbon fiber parts are made the same. The biggest distinction comes down to how the carbon is processed — commonly known as dry carbon and wet carbon. Both use genuine carbon fiber weave, but the production method, finish, and performance are completely different.
Manufacturing Process
Dry carbon fiber parts are produced using a pre-preg (pre-impregnated) carbon cloth, where the exact amount of resin is pre-applied by the manufacturer. These sheets are then vacuum-sealed and cured under high pressure and temperature in an autoclave, removing excess air and resin.
The result is a light, extremely strong, and precisely formed component — the same process used in motorsport and aerospace applications.
Wet carbon fiber, on the other hand, uses a hand-lay or wet-lay method. The carbon cloth is laid into a mold and liquid resin is manually brushed or poured over it before curing. Because it’s not vacuum-bagged or autoclave-cured, there’s usually more trapped resin and air pockets, leading to a heavier part and a less uniform finish.
Weight & Strength
Dry carbon fiber is roughly 30–50% lighter than wet carbon. This is due to the controlled resin ratio — just enough to bind the fibers without unnecessary weight.
By comparison, wet carbon or carbon-over-fiberglass parts can be up to 70% heavier, since excess resin and fiberglass layers add mass without increasing stiffness.
For reference:
- Carbon Fiber Density: ~1.55 g/cm³
- Fiberglass Density: ~2.6 g/cm³
Dry carbon also offers a much higher modulus of elasticity (~125 GPa), giving it outstanding rigidity under stress — ideal for aerodynamic and high-load components.
Visual & Structural Differences
-
Backside: A true dry carbon piece will look identical front and back — you can see the same woven pattern throughout.
Wet carbon or fiberglass-backed parts often have a dull, uneven underside with visible fiberglass texture or color variation. -
Edges: Solid dry carbon has clean, uniform black edges.
Wet carbon or overlay parts may show a white or grey line along the edge, revealing the fiberglass underneath — sometimes hidden with black paint trim. - Finish: Dry carbon typically has a consistent matte or satin finish, while wet carbon can appear glossy but uneven due to hand-applied resin.
