C8 ZR1-Style Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Hood | Stingray/ Z06/ E-Ray | VASL

ZR1-Style Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Hood for 2020–2026 Corvette C8

Transform the front profile of your Corvette C8 with the VASL ZR1-Style Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Hood.

Designed for Corvette C8 Stingray, Z51, Z06, and E-Ray models, this full replacement hood gives the C8 a sharper ZR1-inspired front-end appearance with a more aggressive vented profile, sculpted surface lines, and premium carbon fiber presence.

Available in single-sided or double-sided pre-preg 2x2 3K carbon fiber, this hood allows customers to choose the level of carbon fiber presentation that best fits their build.
