APR Front Splitter

Hello, I was looking at some APR Carbon Fiber front splitters and was wondering if anyone has one on their car? I've seen a C6 Z with one, but I don't know if it's possible to have one on a C5 Z. If anyone has one, please post pics.

Thanks,

Josh

Yeah - APR's "splitter" is just an undertray - I got them to make me a big flat template that mated up to the overlay ACP splitter.

I am sure they still ahve the template on hand, so if you needed an undertray that mathes to the ACP overlay splitter they can make you one up.

For posing, cruising and general street duty I am running 12"x18" C5Z replicas on the rear (switch to 12"x18" CCW's for the race track) and 10.5"x18" C5Z OEM rear wheels on the front (switch to a spare set of paint stripped 10.5"x18" C5Z OEM rears for track use)

The C6 Z front calipers and the C5Z OEM rear wheels are a match made in heaven.. Non-OEM wheels are another story as the spokes and hub are quite a bit bulkier.
