A small but potentially irritating aesthetic detail of the C8 Corvette Coupe is the back edge of the rear window glass, which can have a slightly uneven edge to its tint or simply look unfinished. Now ACS, maker of many quality Vette accessories, has a solution with its C8 Coupe Rear Window Spoiler.
Intended for use on all Coupe configurations of the C8 Corvette Stingray, C8 E-Ray, and C8 Z06, is an easy-to-apply trim piece that is intended to be a permanent addition to your Vette, improving its looks with sleek styling that matches the C8 design language.
ACS Composite makes the spoiler so it attaches firmly on either side, slotting in adjacent to the carbon flash window bezels. ACS says the C8 Coupe Rear Window Spoiler has several benefits, including:
- Hiding imperfections in the window tint along the glass edge
- Protecting the back edge of the rear window from damage
The Rear Window Spoiler is constructed out of PC Composite, a special polymer formulation that offers 300 percent of the durability of ABS. The composite is also better at resisting impacts, heat damage, and scraping or gouging than fiberglass or carbon. The spoiler is meant to be tough and durable, potentially lasting as long as the vehicle.
The Chevy Corvette C8 Coupe window spoiler attaches to the glass on either side using double-sided automotive tape, with a space in the center to allow rainwater to drain. Application of an adhesion promoter sticks the spoiler on even more for maximum longevity.
The Window Spoiler has a Carbon Flash Metallic Black finish matching the Corvette’s trim. This finish looks gloss black from a distance, while silver metallic flake becomes visible close-up. The spoiler is made entirely in the United States and is currently priced at $249.

As a reminder, each of the three 2024 Chevy Corvette variants is motivated by a unique powertrain setup. The 2024 Stingray is equipped with the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 gasoline engine developing output of 490 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. The 2024 Corvette Z06 runs the naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine, rated at 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. The new, hybrid, AWD 2024 E-Ray combines the Stingray’s LT2 engine with a front-axle electric motor to provide a total output of 655 horsepower.
Under the body panels, all Chevy Corvette C8 variants use the GM Y2 platform for structure. Production takes place exclusively at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

Adding sugar to soda pop.
Yeah, Like Chuck said. And I find most of these products and materials and then the COST to be too much.
Make a simple product, meaning good design, useful, then use street worthy material, as most of the car is,
then make it a good value. Yeah it is a limited market, less than 500,000 potential customers and small batch runs.
But the extreme fighter-jet composites for every little thing, then a price tag to match.
I could custom make a one-off of most of these items for less than they charge. IMHO
Nothing beats spending $250 to cover up an “unfinished look” on a $100,000 sports car, huh?
Better solution: just by the convertible, it is completely “finished”. Plus you get an entire trunk for luggage during your open-top road trips. Rather than losing half of your trunk to store the manually removable hard top panel. Just so you can repeatedly see your engine when parked. Guess some C8 owners have a phobia about stolen engines and thus need to keep looking to make sure they are still there.
