Does this fit the E-Ray?

Yes. The APR C8 Front Air Dam is engineered to fit E-Ray, Z06, and ZR1 applications, integrating with the factory front bumper on all three without modification. E-Ray shares the widened front-end bodywork with Z06, which is why the same splitter geometry carries over across all three trims.

Do I need to remove the factory air dam before installing this?

Yes, the factory air dam comes off first. The APR piece is a direct replacement for that factory component, not an add-on layer, so the stock piece is removed and the APR carbon splitter bolts into the same mounting points on the front bumper.

Will the carbon crack from curb strikes or driveway scrapes?

The leading edge is protected by integrated metal skid plates, not bare carbon fiber. These plates take the contact from parking bumps, steep driveway angles, and road debris, so the pre-preg carbon panel behind them stays intact instead of chipping or delaminating from routine ground clearance issues.

Do I need APR's rear diffuser to run this front air dam?

No, the two are sold and function separately. The front air dam manages airflow and pressure at the nose of the car on its own; the rear diffuser addresses underbody exit airflow at the back. Running one without the other is standard, and most owners start with whichever end they want to address first.

Description

APR Performance Carbon Front Air Dam for C8 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray / Z06 / ZR1

The APR C8 front air dam replaces a factory piece that flexes at speed and does little to manage the low-pressure zone building up under the nose on Z06, ZR1, and E-Ray cars. APR builds this one from pre-preg carbon fiber, cured in an autoclave under heat and pressure, then shapes an integrated splitter lip into the leading edge; that lip creates a high-pressure zone above the panel while keeping airflow moving cleanly underneath. The result is measurable front-end lift reduction at higher speeds, sharper steering response, and a nose that stays planted through fast corners instead of getting light. Metal skid plates run along the underside edge, so the carbon takes the parking bump or driveway lip instead of eating a chip on day one.

Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Construction

APR builds the C8 front air dam and rear diffuser from pre-preg carbon fiber, cured in an autoclave under heat and pressure rather than laid up wet; that process is what gets the strength-to-weight ratio high enough to hold its shape at speed without adding meaningful weight over the factory piece. The result is a rigid, durable aero component that handles daily street use and repeated track sessions without flexing or fatiguing over time.

Elevate Your Corvette’s Aerodynamics

The APR C8 front air dam and rear diffuser is the newest aerodynamic addition for the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 and ZR1 from APR, developed as part of the same aero package. Where the front air dam manages the high-pressure zone at the nose, the rear diffuser is built to accelerate underbody airflow as it exits at the back, pairing race-derived shaping with a fitment that bolts to the factory rear fascia.

Designed with Purpose

The APR C8 front air dam and rear diffuser both follow the same development process that’s applied to every aerodynamic component they build; CFD analysis first, engineering validation second, and manufacturing tolerances held tight enough that the part performs the way the data says it should. That process is what separates a functional diffuser from a styling piece shaped to look aggressive without doing anything underneath the car. For the C8 Z06 and ZR1, this diffuser is built to the same standard, measurable aerodynamic gain first, appearance second.

About APR Performance

APR Performance has spent more than three decades building aerodynamic components for road racing, time attack, and street performance applications, working from the same wind tunnel and CFD-driven process across every product line. The company designs and manufactures its own carbon fiber wings, splitters, diffusers, and canards in-house, using pre-preg materials and autoclave curing rather than outsourced wet-layup production, which is why APR parts carry SCCA and other sanctioning body approvals across multiple race classes. From early Honda and Mitsubishi platforms to current Porsche, BMW, and Corvette applications, APR’s approach has stayed the same; every component has to earn its place through measurable aerodynamic gain, not just visual styling.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
