Tegris and Splitters
Here's an interesting article about using Tegris for the front splitter. It makes a lot more sense than carbon fiber.

Trans Am 2 cars use aluminum clad PVC such as the brand name Komalu made by Kommerling USA. Works very well, is light and cost is only about 80 bucks for a 4x8 sheet. I had a tegris COT splitter on the Vette but have now changed over to the Komalu type.
Sign companies use this product most everyday, so they may be a local source.

I was able to pick up four tegris COT splitters for about 200 bucks.

After many failed attempts utilizing everything from 5/16" plywood with a resin coating to alumilite, I've found the best design is a thin aluminum sheet for the undertray with Tegris skid material on the bottom front edge. If you look on E-_ay there are lots of the old NASCAR pieces which are cheap, new and only take a little shaping to fit a C5 or C6. I will post a picture later or tomorrow.
This design gives maximum down force, excellent cooling (provided you've leaned the radiator forward and vented the hood) and a ton of downforce since there is zero deflection. I can literally rock the entire car with my hand if I push down on the splitter with my hand while it's on the lift. The downside is that it's a little heavy BUT if you've ever destroyed a splitter with a bad off you will appreciate the extra strength.

Custom intake is about all it takes AFAIK. I did a c5 and saw a setup on a c6.
