Genuine Corvette accessories are fairly new to the world of Corvette. Besides C5 & C6 Corvette logo apparel there are other accessories on the actual car. These factory included accessories that can be added are created and fully backed by General Motors and can be installed at the time of a new Corvette’s delivery. If installed at that time, the accessories are fully covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. These accessories can also be installed on an older car, but are only covered by the balance of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty (if it still exists) or for 12 months/12,000 miles – whichever comes first.

Under Hood Cover:

With a black background, this under the hood cover features the crossed flags Corvette emblem. The molded design will fit the hood of coupes and convertibles. It’s perfect to dress up the inside of the hood and particularly helpful to keep the inside of the hood clean. A must when entering your Corvette into car shows.

Body Color Engine Cover:

Cover your engine with a casing that matches the body of your Corvette. It comes in all Corvette exterior colors, however, isn’t made for the Corvette Z06. With bright coloring the color of your car and the word “Corvette” written on it in white, it really makes your engine look sharp when you put the hood up for judging in a car show. The most important part of this accessory – it keeps the engine clean.

Convertible Wind Screen:

This accessory is useful for Corvette Convertible owners. Placed right behind the seats, this black mesh screen reduces the amount of wind passengers feel in the car when the convertible is down. The see through mesh screen has the word “Corvette” imprinted on it that can only be seen from behind, without being a distraction to the driver in the rear view mirror.

Front-End Cover:

Also known as a Corvette bra, this black, heavy-duty vinyl covering features the crossed flag Corvette emblem. Not only is this feature useful to enhance the look of your car, it protects the front end from dead bugs and pebbles and rocks that can cause harmful scratches and dings to your paint job while on long (or even short!) Corvette cruises.

Rear Fascia Protector:

It has an odd name, but does a very important job. This black protector with the crossed flags Corvette emblem is mounted on the inside of the trunk. It can hang on the outside of the back of the car when working in and out of the trunk to protect scratches on the paint job from belt buckles and other abrasive objects. It’s really easy to forget about those sort of things when you are on a long trip and having a good time. Why not get one of these protectors so you don’t have to worry about it?

Fifteen Spoke Polished Aluminum Wheel:

Fifteen spokes is a lot of spokes and it really looks sharp when you’re driving your Corvette around town. The wheels really appear shiny. Not available for the Corvette Z06. Please note, that the wheel features the sixth generation (C6) Corvette logo in the very center of the wheel. Although these wheels fit on all generations, you may want to reconsider them if you don’t have a C6.

Interior Trim Package:

Spiff up the inside of your Corvette with the Interior Trim Package. It comes in all Corvette exterior colors except for Arctic White. The trim package includes a center trim plate that surrounds the options around the sides of the steering wheel, and the center instrumental panel that separates the driver and the passenger. While the trim package will be colorful, it makes a nice contrast with the black instruments.
