American Car Craft Matrix Taillight Vent Grilles for C7 Corvette
American Car Craft Matrix Series Taillight Vent Grilles 052006 bring a polished polygonal mesh detail to the triangular vents beside the C7 Corvette taillights. This two-piece aluminum-and-stainless set is offered for 2014–2019 Stingray, including Z51, 2017–2019 Grand Sport and 2015–2019 Z06 coupes. The grilles dress the rear bumper vent openings, not the illuminated lenses.
The Matrix design uses aluminum mesh with stainless-steel outer trim, producing a defined geometric pattern beneath the existing vent louvers. The bright hexagonal openings differ visibly from a diamond-style grille, so the choice is about the pattern you want to see on the car as well as the finish. One shaped piece serves each side, giving the rear a coordinated detail without replacing the taillight assemblies or the surrounding bodywork.

Benefits
Matrix mesh adds a small-scale geometric accent where the original dark vent opening meets the taillight housing. Its open pattern remains visible between the louvers, giving the area depth rather than the flat appearance of a solid cover. The paired construction helps an owner planning a street or show exterior treatment keep the same mesh style on both sides while retaining the original lamp shapes.
Important Notes
- The confirmed fitment shown here is for coupes. A convertible or ZR1 requires a separate fitment confirmation before ordering; neither is established by this listing.
- Only the two taillight vent grilles are included. Installed photographs may also show lamp-surround trim, lower valance grilles and exhaust accents that are separate products.
- Matrix is not an all-stainless Laser Mesh set. Confirm the hexagonal pattern and aluminum/stainless construction match the appearance you want.
- Test-position each piece and follow the installation directions for preparation and placement before removing adhesive liners. Aftermarket taillight housings or altered vent openings need an individual compatibility check.
- Peel-and-stick refers to the mounting method. Do not treat it as a guaranteed installation time or as evidence that access and alignment can be skipped.
- The polished outer border on this taillight set is not the brushed border used on the Matrix rear valance set. If you are combining those accessories, expect a shared geometric mesh theme rather than identical border finishes. The two vent locations also require their own correctly shaped grille pairs.
