Default C6Z Aero Upgrades

Is there any aero benefit to installing a ZR1/ZO7 front splitter and ZR1 rear spolier on a stock C6Z for road course use? Looking at reproductions from RPI.

The splitter, side skirts, and rear spoiler all work together as it was introduced on the 2009 ZR1. The full length GM spoiler works a little better and was proven as it was the spoiler used on the Ring runs that put the ZR1 at 7:19 and Z06 at 7:22.

As far as brand...I'd stick with quality proven components made by Katech, APR, or LG. Not RPI.

The Katech aero was windtunnel tested. I have their skirts and love the fitment and quality.
