Upgrade the rear engine bay presentation of your Chevrolet Corvette C8 with these GM Factory Style Rear Engine Compartment Side Panel Covers, engineered specifically for 2020–Present Corvette C8 Coupe models. Designed as a premium replacement for the factory plastic side panels, this kit delivers OEM-correct fitment while elevating materials, finish, and thermal durability for a true performance-focused engine bay upgrade.
Modeled after the factory Z51 engine bay side covers, these panels preserve GM’s original design language while enhancing it with motorsport-grade construction options. Choose from dry pre-preg carbon fiber, matte black, carbon flash, or red carbon fiber finishes to match your build theme. Carbon fiber variants are produced using dry pre-impregnated 3K twill weave, vacuum-cured under heat for precise resin control, excellent strength-to-weight ratio, and consistent weave alignment—ideal for the C8’s high-heat mid-engine environment.
Finished with a matte, UV-resistant clear coat (carbon variants), the panels resist yellowing and fading while providing a refined, non-reflective appearance that complements other carbon or matte accessories. Integrated louvered vents are both functional and aesthetic, supporting passive airflow escape to help reduce engine bay heat during extended drives or spirited use.
Each panel is CAD-matched to OEM geometry and installs using factory mounting points for a clean, factory-like fit along the inner fender edges, rear strut tower line, and engine bay perimeter. No drilling, cutting, or trimming is required—making this an ideal upgrade for owners seeking OEM fitment with premium, race-inspired materials.
Quick Compatibility: Fits ALL 2020–Present Chevrolet Corvette C8 Coupe models (Stingray, Z51, Z06, E-Ray Coupe). Not compatible with Convertible models.

About Dry Carbon Fiber
Dry Carbon Fiber vs Wet Carbon Fiber — What’s the Difference?
Not all carbon fiber parts are made the same. The biggest distinction comes down to how the carbon is processed — commonly known as dry carbon and wet carbon. Both use genuine carbon fiber weave, but the production method, finish, and performance are completely different.
Manufacturing Process
Dry carbon fiber parts are produced using a pre-preg (pre-impregnated) carbon cloth, where the exact amount of resin is pre-applied by the manufacturer. These sheets are then vacuum-sealed and cured under high pressure and temperature in an autoclave, removing excess air and resin. The result is a light, extremely strong, and precisely formed component — the same process used in motorsport and aerospace applications.
Wet carbon fiber, on the other hand, uses a hand-lay or wet-lay method. The carbon cloth is laid into a mold and liquid resin is manually brushed or poured over it before curing. Because it’s not vacuum-bagged or autoclave-cured, there’s usually more trapped resin and air pockets, leading to a heavier part and a less uniform finish.
Weight & Strength
Dry carbon fiber is roughly 30–50% lighter than wet carbon. This is due to the controlled resin ratio — just enough to bind the fibers without unnecessary weight. By comparison, wet carbon or carbon-over-fiberglass parts can be up to 70% heavier, since excess resin and fiberglass layers add mass without increasing stiffness. For reference:
Carbon Fiber Density: ~1.55 g/cm³
Fiberglass Density: ~2.6 g/cm³
Dry carbon also offers a much higher modulus of elasticity (~125 GPa), giving it outstanding rigidity under stress — ideal for aerodynamic and high-load components.
Visual & Structural Differences
Backside: A true dry carbon piece will look identical front and back — you can see the same woven pattern throughout. Wet carbon or fiberglass-backed parts often have a dull, uneven underside with visible fiberglass texture or color variation.
Edges: Solid dry carbon has clean, uniform black edges. Wet carbon or overlay parts may show a white or grey line along the edge, revealing the fiberglass underneath — sometimes hidden with black paint trim.
Finish: Dry carbon typically has a consistent matte or satin finish, while wet carbon can appear glossy but uneven due to hand-applied resin.

How to install the GGP Fuel Pump Plate?

Here is a user submitted YouTube video on how to install a throttle body spacer on a V6 Camry. How to video on installing a V6 GGP Throttle Body SpacerYou’ll see that you first take off the intake, then unbolt the throttle body from the intake manifold. Once you have the throttle body off you’ll have the option of doing a coolant bypass. If you decide to take the throttle body all the way off you will spill some coolant, but it will not be much. Now, get the GGP Throttle Body Spacer and orient it to where the o-ring is facing the smooth side of the throttle body. Line up the holes and put 2 bolts all the way through. Now with your bolts through, line the spacer and throttle body up against the intake manifold and start to thread your bolts in. Make sure that the o-ring is still properly seated in its groove, then insert the other 2 bolts and tighten all 4 down. Once tight, install your air intake and turn your car on and make sure you didn’t leave any hoses off that might be causing a vacuum leak. If all is good, go for a test drive and feel the lack of throttle lag and your newfound power!
