ACS Composite Launches C8 Corvette E-Brake Caliper Covers

Updated on June 18, 2026 • 3 min read

ACS Composite has introduced a new upgrade for the C8 Corvette that addresses one of the car’s most overlooked visual details: the unfinished rear electronic parking brake caliper.

While Chevrolet offers multiple painted brake caliper options for the C8 Corvette, the rear e-brake caliper remains uncoated from the factory. For many owners, once noticed, the unfinished component stands out behind the rear wheels and disrupts the otherwise premium appearance of the car.

ACS Composite developed its new C8 Stingray E-Brake Caliper Covers to solve that issue with a simple, reversible, OEM-inspired upgrade.

Designed for an OEM-style appearance

The new covers are made from stamped metal and shaped to follow the factory e-brake caliper profile.

Rather than requiring paintwork or permanent modification, each cover clips directly onto the original caliper.

Key features include:

• stamped metal construction
• patent-pending clip-lock design
• factory-style fitment
• reversible installation
• no painting required
• sold as a pair

Depending on the wheel design, installation may be possible without removing the wheels.

Attention to factory details

ACS Composite designed the covers with cutouts that allow factory bolts and pins to remain visible.

This helps create the impression that the hardware is part of the installed cover system, giving the upgrade a more integrated appearance rather than an obvious add-on.

The covers are available in factory C8 Corvette brake caliper colors as well as selected exterior color options.

Availability and pricing

The C8 Stingray version is available now, priced at $219 per pair.

ACS Composite also plans versions for:

• C8 Z06
• C8 E-Ray
• C8 ZR1
• C8 Grand Sport

These variants are available for pre-order and are expected to ship later this summer.

Additional finishing option

ACS Composite is also offering a Carbon Flash Metallic paint pen for owners who want to touch up visible e-brake caliper bolts.

The same pen can also be used to cover the silver rings inside lug nut holes on Chevrolet’s black wheels, creating a more complete visual finish.

Editorial Perspective

This product shows how small visual details can matter in the Corvette aftermarket.

The C8 Corvette is already highly customizable, but factory omissions like the unfinished e-brake caliper create opportunities for specialist suppliers.

ACS Composite’s solution is not a major performance upgrade, but it fits the mindset of many Corvette owners: refine the car where GM left something unfinished.

For the aftermarket, this is exactly where product opportunity often exists—not only in big aero parts or carbon fiber panels, but in subtle details that improve the total ownership experience.
