The splitter does look nice. Anyone know if it hurts cooling?

One last one for ya lol



Thanks!


So far I haven't had an issue other then the A/C on the car heated up quite a bit but I think the t stat or something else is going on there.

I've owned 4 C5s... not sure how you're going to keep the car cool with that lip. The C5 is a bottom breather and needs air flow under the bumper up into the radiator cavity.

Drove the car 900 solid miles without stoppin other then for gas

from Kansas to Michigan with this lip in 90 degree weather.


Saw temps around 210-220 the entire trip.

IMO I would get rid of the Red inserts in the front and rear Corvette and I would definitely replace the anodized red lug nuts for Black... The lug nuts are a little hondaish imo... If you like , Just my opinion... Very minor stuff but otherwise awesome with the wider QP's

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I like red highlights. If that looks like a Honda, I think I could drive one.

I only agree on the lug nuts... the red script could be factory if we didn't know any better

I actually think red and black is overplayed but since the car came like this (factory calipers and previous owner red overlays, I went with it )

Thanks guys!

Google Petes Fenders! They did require some custom work to get them to fit perfectly but they turn out very well

Sweet looking Z!!!

Not sure if your run temps are too high or not. Mine runs around 190 on the highway with the ACI ASF700 splitter (factory t-stat).
