Default ACS Splitter Carbon Flash black just installed. Striking!!!








I Just installed the ACS Carbon Flash splitter with under-tray on my 2017 Stingray Z51. It looks fantastic and even better than GM original versions. Fit was perfect and installation easy (40 minutes together with my son) I recently also made the switch from Chrome to Carbon Flash black badges.


To my surprise ground clearance is not affected much except for the leading edge up front which is appr. 1.5 inch lower but instead of an uphill front it is now flat which looks much more aggressive!

Looks great. May want to consider CF tape on the chrome bar.

Just asking, what am I seeing under the headlights?

Sorry about you having to sport the front tag.

I will put black on the front brace on Monday when I am having a clear bra mounted on the front combined with black window tint on the rear windows.


The thing under the headlight is pressure washer for the headlights mandatory in Europe. It uses the windscreen fluid to spray the lights.


Best Regards

Looks great except for the fact the license plate holder destroyed the overall look.

^^ I agree but would not risk a ticket to drive without the license plate. Some of the factory/aftermarket plate holders are really big and restrict the flow to the radiator.


Mine is only fastened with cable ties for the moment.

OP - did you install the carbon flash badges. I know the flags are easily replaced but what did you do to get the stingray straight. Also, what's the secret to getting the old emblems off.

^^^ I used blue masking tape like in this video below. To remove the old ones I used heat gun, dental floss and a good glue removal spray from an auto shop.
