Product Description
Billet Rear Hatch Support Brackets for the C8 Corvette Coupe
RaceLite Hatch Supports replace the factory stamped-steel hatch brackets on every 2020+ C8 Corvette coupe with a pair of 6061 billet aluminum brackets, machined and finished to match your car. They bolt straight on using the factory mounting points, weigh slightly less than the stock brackets, and turn an overlooked piece of the engine bay into the part people lean in to look at.
A C8RallyDriver proprietary design and the anchor of the engine-bay set: pair them with the C8 Corvette Access Covers and the carbon fiber O6G-Ultra B-Pillar Covers.
Choose Anodized or a Factory-Matched Paint Color
Twenty-seven finishes are available: anodized black, red or blue, or a factory paint color to match your Corvette, including Admiral Blue, Edge Blue (the ZR1 color) and Edge Red to match the engine and valve covers. Select the color from the menu above.
Billet Aluminum Specification
Each bracket is machined from 6061 billet aluminum, then anodized or painted in the selected finish. The design keeps the factory mounting geometry, so nothing is modified on the car and the hatch operates exactly as it did from the factory.
Anodized finish care
All anodized parts can fade with long-term exposure to UV light, heat and harsh cleaners. To keep the color vibrant, minimize long-term sun exposure (garage storage, car covers) and coat the brackets with a UV-inhibiting SiO2 or graphene ceramic spray after washing and on your regular detailing cycle. That also helps prevent mineral deposits and water spots. Do not use chemical or acid-based cleaners on anodized parts.
Will RaceLite Hatch Supports Fit My C8?
They fit all 2020+ C8 Corvette coupes: Stingray, Z51, Z06, E-Ray, ZR1, ZR1X, Grand Sport and Grand Sport X. They do not fit the hardtop convertible (HTC), which has no hatch supports.
What's Included
- Two C8 Corvette RaceLite Hatch Support Brackets (one pair) in a boxed presentation set
- Six nylon washers to protect the finish at each fastener
Titanium Fastener Upgrade
Add titanium hardware to your RaceLite Hatch Supports. Choose the Titanium Fastener Upgrade from the menu above to add the six hatch-support bolts in Burnt Blue, Polished, Rainbow Colorshift or Stealth Black titanium for $24.99. Or get them as part of the 22-piece C8 Corvette Engine Bay Dress Up Bolt Kit, which also covers the strut tower bars and access covers.
Titanium fasteners arrive pre-coated with VibraTite VC-3 threadlocker, a pink or red coating that is not visible once installed. Do not remove the VC-3 coating before installation. VC-3 prevents back out of fasteners from vibration and is reusable several times without reapplication.
Installation: About 10 Minutes Per Bracket
Installation is a direct bolt-on using the factory bolts, roughly ten minutes per side. Fit a nylon washer on each fastener to prevent scratching the finish, and do not overtighten the bracket bolts. Install videos for this and every other C8RallyDriver product are on our installation guides page.
