I just wanted to share with other readers what a great buying experience I found with Alex of Vivid Racing.

I received a really great deal from him with the carbon fiber aero parts manufactured by APR Performance.

I've attached pictures of the C7 Z07 inspired parts that I installed on my C7 Z51.

The rear black-out Chevy flags emblem was missing at the time of the photo. If interested, contact:

The car looks fantastic!

Thank you!

APR says although their parts are modeled after the C7 Z07, that they are actually developed to outperform the Z07 parts due to:

1) deeper and rounder front splitter

2) wider rocker extensions

3) the carbon fiber under tray increases the speed of the air exiting under the car, resulting in greater downforce generated by the rear spoiler

Also, I prefer the APR parts because they are 100% exposed carbon fiber.

I looks great but You may want to invest around $130.00 in a curb alert, because if you bump that splitter it will crack!

PM me if you need help with the installation. I live in Gilbert and have installed the curb alert on my wife's and my C7. Also installed it for some of members of our local Corvette Club !

That's a good suggestion, Bill. Thank you!

Copjsd,

Awesome looking Z51! Question, where did you get those white reflectors on the diffuser?

White side markers and rear diffuser reflectors from: http://www.gscreations.com

Super job,the car looks fantastic!

How difficult was it to remove the stock Z51 rear spoiler? I understand in addition to the bolts GM uses 3M tape.
Thanks

Hello sharpgt,

Thanks for the compliment! And it wasn't very difficult. I was changing the lower valance (diffuser) so it had to come off first, then the rear bumper cover.

I understand if you aren't changing the lower valance, that it can remain attached to the bumper cover during the rear spoiler install.

If you are upgrading from a Z51 spoiler, you'll have no drilling required. If your Stingray lacks a rear spoiler, you'll use their easy-to-use template to locate the nine holes.

There is no adhesive tape required. The nine studs and large flange nuts secure the spoiler extremely well.

Contact APR and I'm sure they'll email you the installation instruction pages. Or you can use the GM instructions (although not as comprehensive), see:

Outstanding
I have a white 2016 Z51 with the black accents and exposed CF hood and I have been looking at all of the options for splitters and rocker extensions. All I need is some spare cash

Looks really nice. Although would like to see what a flat splitter looked like rather than one that follows the profile of the bumper.

Also LOVE the drive plains!
