    I just purchased my 7th Corvette, a 2023 Anniversary Edition. One thing I have learned, there is an endless amount of Corvette. STUFF you can spend your money on. I started spending money on cars since I was 17 at Trenton Speed Shop!

    Generally speaking, ACS Composites aftermarket parts are so clean and the fit/finish is incredible. I have their 1VM front splitter, 1VM side skirts and rock guards on my C8. I am disappointed that GMs Z51 front splitter is such a piece of junk compared to the ACS product. Earlier today I actually had a Chevrolet employee asking me where I got my parts from when I had my car serviced and he had the same observation. Seriously, and to your point, why can’t GM do better with this? Joseph at ACS is an awesome guy and so easy to work with. I personally dealt with him when I ordered my parts a year ago. Thanks for the video and content, Mike. 💪🇺🇸

      You are correct, they always look so great! It is a shame that we buy 100k cars from GM and they put crap aero pieces on them. It really blows my mind! Oh well, Joe and ACS is always there to fix what GM lacks in development. 👍😊

    I noticed that ACS has this diffuser in white too. I was just curious as to what made you go with black? I have a torch red C8 and I am undecided as to whether to go with the red of black diffuser.

    • @nrdemon1031

    • @BrinkofSpeed
      @BrinkofSpeed  Рік тому

      Well my c8 isn’t white for one thing, it’s Ceramic Matrix Gray. But also, I don’t like it to contrast with the stock diffuser at all, that’s just not my thing. If the fins only were colored, I would probably like that, but not the whole piece.

  • @Yipe-gm1wp
    @Yipe-gm1wp Рік тому +1

    Perhaps ACS should offer two versions. This one is kinda mild and probably not very effective as a ground effects. Maybe they should also offer a more aggressive one that would have some actual rear diffuser effect that can actually be felt at speed.

      When I watch these UA-cam videos and they don’t state that they paid for whatever they are reviewing with their own money I disregard the review because they’re playing to the manufactures selling their gift of gab for their product hoping to get more (Free) from other manufacturers, truly just an audition for more free stuff from other manufacturers

    • @BrinkofSpeed

      Too much is relative. ACS doesn’t treat anyone like suckers, they are a business that knows their customers really well. They’ve been doing this a really long time. Again, it’s relative, if you’re take a look at pieces for any Lambo, Ferrari, McLaren, etc…they are many thousands for these type of parts.
