I have both RPI's CF front splitter and side skirts and have been really happy with them. I even have their ZR1 rear spoiler . Depending what you do with the car the other two companies both offer really good units. Some Of buddies really like the LG unit. LG and APR units require you to take the front nose off in order to install it, due to the additional supports, which is really nice to have at high speeds for extended time. I do track my car and the RPI front splitter has performed well so far.

Quality - LG or APR
Price - RPI

I have RPI carbon front splitter, bumper re-enforcement, carbon side skirts and painted ZR1 spoiler. Quality is pretty good but I have seen others complain about pitting/bubbling in the carbon.

If you don't get CF and go with the painted parts get them clear guarded so they won't chip up.

I want them in carbon fiber, I see a lot of complains about the RPI, the LG or the APR seem to be the best

I just bought a rear full length spoiler from Chris Storie at S.D parts ,Beautifull fit much cheaper than any other vendor.I highly recommend him.I had it delivered to my door in montreal canada in less than a week.It came already painted .

Ktech fiberglass side skirts with gel coat and carbon fiber rear spoiler. I couldn't be happier with them!
