Performance Corvette: The Beauty of Carbon Fiber

If you’re in the market for carbon fiber parts for your Corvette, chances are Performance Corvette [2] has what you want in their extensive online catalog. The usage of carbon fiber on streetcars is a growing market and becoming increasingly popular. What was once specifically for the aftermarket is now becoming fully supported by some OEM’s (for example, the 2015 Z06 has different carbon fiber packages including raw carbon fiber).

The C6 carbon fiber interior dress up kit really adds a unique look to the standard GM plastic.

Aftermarket carbon fiber parts typically come in one of two varieties: raw (unpainted to show off the carbon fiber’s naturally attractive pattern) or color matched to the vehicle. While some people prefer the look of raw carbon fiber to show off the material and add contrast to their vehicle, others prefer to get their carbon fiber pieces color matched to the color of their vehicle. For the latter group, adding carbon fiber parts is more about the weight savings and “knowing it’s there” rather than wanting to show it off. 

The style of raw carbon fiber is undeniable and is synonymous with performance as it has been used and displayed on race cars for many years. Performance Corvette’s online catalog has an extensive carbon fiber offering (including products for the C7) of replacement and additional parts for the interior, exterior, engine bay, wheel accessories, etc.  If you have the desire to add carbon fiber to your C4-C7, chances are Performance Corvette has what you are looking for.
