Corvette C8 Parts List Catalog

Hey Guys I have been looking for the parts list catalog for the C8, it does not exist on this planet.

So I put my self to work and after a couple of months I compiled the full parts list for the C8 2020 to 2025. I gave the title Corvette C8 2021 Parts List to the catalog because my corvette is from 2021

It is free for everybody in this forum.

The catalog includes detailed exploded views of the car, along with photos of each part, SKU numbers, part names, descriptions, and exact locations on the vehicle.
Over 400 pages of parts and diagrams.
Hopefully is great help for people like me that likes DIY and get their hands dirty.
Here is the link to download the Catalog

Enjoy everybody!

Out of curiosity, has GM released the 2020 Corvette service manual for purchase? I cannot find anything about it, and I am aware official service manuals are quite expensive, but I figured I would ask here if anyone has a line on where I could buy access to it.

*I see that ACDelco has the GMSi subscriptions, but I am curious if the 2020 Vette is included in the database.*

Helm will have the Service Manual available but it will be quite some time before it is out based on past performance.

All of the HTC specific information is already in the owner’s manual, there is no separate manual. If an item only applies to the Coupe or the HTC the manual points that out.

C8 info. For those who want to know and appreciate the body design, and materials used in building your cars. You will find the following a good read. Composites World, July and August issue. Part 1 and 2 July issue page 44. August issue page 52. Detailed info on composite fabrication and materials.

Mod may want to merge the info on where it fits..
