Front splitter
Looking to add rear wing and front splitter later this year after I get a lot more experience on the road courses. Looking for advice as to which front splitter seems to be the one of choice from those who have been running with one for awhile.

How much experience do you have? What are you working toward with the car? Are you looking to start running TimeTrials, or go W2W racing? If so, you need to plan a path and build the car around a certain class.
Far too many people mod up the car for the sake of modding, then have a car that falls into a high-end class that they can't compete in.
I run my car in TTA which works out to be a nearly spec-class for a C5Z06. The fast TTA guys are constantly posting better times than many TTS/TTU folks.
If you do decide you want/need aero then ACP is one of the popular vendors. Some ST2 racers have had good results a wing made by Kognition out of California i.e Wallyman, Oyisdog, and Falcon to name a few.

Need to know bump!
How did you guys work around the fact that the front will scratch against everything uneven and even the ramp when using a trailer?
I'm looking at ACP 4" front with the undertray but is there any way you can attach the whole thing so that it is easy to dismount when going up on ramps, etc?

Some guys have their splitters removable. ACP's splitter is removable if I recall but it takes a second to do. Other's just have super, super long ramps.

With regard to splitters - I would wait until I determined my requirements. I put four off in a fast corner into wet grass, slid through a slight grade transition, and tore a splitter clean off and with it my brake ducts, linings to my wheel openings. Had to replace it all - along with the front bumper cover due to the fastners ripping out. I regretted the day I got away from the stock set-up.
Race Ramps and a section of 2x6 should allow clearance in most situations.

Progressive Incline Race Ramps
There is a good chance that our Progressive Incline Race Ramps will fit under a splitter. The ramps have an initial incline of 4 degrees which increases to 8 degrees before reaching the 8" high platform. The ramps have a slight concave curved top surface.

The attached drawing compares the RLL-89-2 Progressive Incline ramp to a popular plastic ramp available at auto stores.

Don't forget your splitter could be 4" past your nose and 3" off the ground or lower. Big difference from a stock car, huge.
