Corvette Z06 Gets a Satin and Carbon Fiber Overhaul from ACG Automotive

We came across these photos on the Corvette Forum of a customized Corvette Z06 and just had to share them. The work was performed by San Diego’s ACG Automotive and features many aftermarket upgrades from APR Performance.. If you’ve ever wanted to take a car to a shop and say “give it the works”, this is probably how it would turn out. This Corvette Z06 received a full cosmetic overhaul with APR Performance carbon fiber

Don’t say we didn’t warn you. The owner of this 1977 Scorpion that’s built on top of a 1977 Corvette chassis says “if you don’t like attention, then don’t buy this car.” In this Craigslist ad, he says if you’re “looking for a car that gets all the attention at car shows and anywhere else you go driving down the road,” then this is the car for you. You might think it’s a kit car,

Hang a Replica of Your Corvette on the Wall with Artwork from Danny Whitfield

Corvette owners are funny in the way that they love to look at their cars. When they drive it out somewhere and have to park, they do so where the can look at it. When they go to shows, they get some chairs and hang out to watch others look at it. Some even go to extremes like building a website to celebrate their Corvette or they share photo after photo of their rides on

[HOT or NOT] Matte Black Tailed C7 Corvette Stingray

[HOT or NOT] Matte Black Tailed C7 Corvette Stingray

Here’s another cool C7 Corvette Stingray with a simple but effective exterior mod and and we wanted to share the photos with our readers to gauge the reaction in this edition of Hot or Not. The Stingray’s top rear hatch and the rear fascia were wrapped in matte black vinyl. The rear is interesting as the wrap only covers the tapered areas of the hatch, giving it the look of the stinger hood in reverse.

[PICS] Forgiato's 800-HP Widebody Corvette Z06 with Custom Red Wheels

We’ve been documenting Forgiato’s love affair with the C7 Corvette since the beginning when a widebody Stingray was built for the 2013 SEMA show. Over the last two years, we’ve seen about a dozen different versions of the widebody Stingray built in all kinds of colors and wheel selections. Now that Chevy is building their own “widebody” in the form of the Corvette Z06, we wondered what Forgiato would have in store for the 650

Rod Saboury's 1963 Black Widow Corvette Heading to Mecum's Harrisburg Auction

We’ve seen a lot of great custom Corvettes over the years and some great builders too. But one of our favorites is Rod Saboury and his SEMA 2012 show car known as the Black Widow. If Rod’s name is familiar, it may be because he also built what he calls the World’s Fastest Street Legal Drag Car which he created out of a another 1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe. As for the Black Widow, its

Say the name of Caravaggio to those Corvette owners in the know and immediately visions of handcrafted leather seats and D-shaped steering wheels come to mind. But John Caravaggio’s shop is capable of transforming an entire Corvette inside and out and he recently showed off his latest work on a customer’s C7 Corvette Z06 Convertible. The Corvette Z06 features upgrades all around. Starting under the hood, an E-Force Supercharger as well as headers were added,
