C6 Undertray/Bellypan or Splitter, any interest?
Assuming the price point was right, what is there more interest in? Undertray/bellypan, or a full splitter that is track ready, sticks out ~ 4",and you can stand on it to prove its strength.
The guy that built my bellyplan is looking to build more if there is interest. Making a splitter is another endeavor all together but if there is enough interest that too is an option. What is it worth to have a bolt on belly pan made of aluminum and can take a beating? What is it worth to have a bolt on splitter also made of aluminum?
The benefit of a belly pan for the C6 guys is many:
- Protects the underbody in the event of an off
- converts the base C6 to a front nose breather ala Z06, thereby eliminating some lift
- stops most of the air that otherwise would produce lift under the hood (the rest comes in through the nose)
- is an aero benefit in NASA without taking any points.
- Add a vented hood and you have drastically improved the front end bite, without the driveway/loading dilemmas and imminent damage from off track excursions.
Thoughts and comments are welcome.

Thanks for voting and two great points, thanks! Clearly it has to be a quality piece, price is second. As far as widebody goes he will confirm as he fits this to different cars but the C6 Narrow body and a wide (Z06/GS/ZR1) are all almost identical when you look at the underbody as it relates to the splitter or undertray needs. The difference to fit a narrow body C6 vs a wide is measured in millimeters at the front of the front fenders. The prototype is built for a wide, and it may just be a second profile that is slightly narrowed at the rear in order accommodate a base C6,.
