Hood for C3 Corvette

The C3 Corvette experienced nearly 15 years of production beginning in 1968 and extending through 1982. Chevrolet enthusiasts are always on the lookout for these vehicles as models feature a complete body redesign from the C2, racing-style wheels, and chrome exterior trims. 

Are you restoring your classic C3 or adding a custom appearance to the front-end of your favorite ride? Top Flight Automotive is your one-stop shop for Corvette hood components and accessories.

The third-generation Corvette is a fan favorite with a number of builds and performance packages to choose from. Now that certain C3 models are over 50 years old, it’s possible that stock hood features have broken or gone missing if your vehicle has a history of multiple owners. Fortunately, Top Flight Automotive caters to early and late C3 production years.

We stock the following hood pieces and accessories, organized by make, model, and year:

• Hood/deck cable grommets
• Hood alarm warning switches

• Hood release cables

1975 Corvette Hood Grilles

Hood grilles enable your C3’s engine to breathe easily when traveling at high speeds. If your stock front-end hood grilles have cracked from inclement weather, sunlight exposure, or a minor collision, consider placing an order for a 1973-1976 replacement on our online store. Protect your vehicle’s radiator and moving engine parts from dirt, road debris, and moisture with our affordable routes for styling and performance.

Hood grilles are available individually or as complete kits with mounting hardware included.

1977 and 1981 Corvette Hood Emblems

Showcase your inner Corvette pride with Top Flight Automotive reproduction chrome emblems for your vehicle’s exterior.

Rather than purchase expensive used OEM accessories, our aftermarket emblems feature exact replica designs of L-82 and L-48 badges that were installed at the Chevrolet factory. Orders mount in just seconds using peel-and-stick adhesives or Speednut hardware.

Corvette hood emblems are an exciting way to present details about your vehicle, such as horsepower ranges and production years. Attach decorative trim pieces in original spots or create your look with custom placement along doors and bumpers.
