I was a bit disappointed to see that the typical design from APR wasn't offered - they offer this front splitter design on a ton of cars. I would love a nice sleek front splitter that didn't reduce ground clearance too much, but offered some downforce.

Front splitter is not the problem on the base model, it's finding a splitter reinforcement bracket the problem instead.

The splitter will be pulling down at speeds, and on the wide body cars, GM and other offer the splitter support piece to reinforce the front bumper where the splitter bolts on so the splitter is not pulling the front nose piece downward. The glitch here, no one offers a reinforcement bracket for the base models instead.


For the wide body cars, and bolts to the inside of the fender nose piece.

My C7 CF splitter fits like OEM.
(Oops, I originally read this on my phone and didn't see the part about needing it to fit the narrow body version C6)
