I really like this C6 front splitter, however I have never see anything close to this flat for a C5. Anyone make something similar?

Vendor QuikZ06 makes a couple of different splitters for the C5. There have been numerous threads on the subject, so I am sure you can pull up some pics to see what your options are.

I did a search and read the threads about the two splitters from Quik z as well as the new ZR1 inspired splitter by Apsis.

However I still haven't seen anything for a C5 that is as flat as this C6 version. I don't know who the manufacturer is so I'm hoping someone does. I have also checked the C6 section with no luck.

I don't think it is that flat, but here is a link to one http://corvettecreationz.com/store/i...&product_id=79

Then there is always the do DIY splitter. Look at this http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...n-spoiler.html
I am seriously thinking about doing this myself. I currently have the ACI, but is just a little to low so I will use it as a guide as well as for teh mounting points.

They sit so low that they are VERY easy to crack on driveways/concrete wheel stops.

If you cant STAND on the splitter it WILL BREAK.

Thin is Not good. 1/2" to 3/8" thick and mounted so you can stand on it without it bending.

I think the C6 splitter in the picture above is strong enough. I just haven't seen a C5 offering that thin.

He wont break it in a week. Probably wont ever break it, the c5 bumper is really not low at all, in fact its pretty high if you ask me, the air dam is another story but thats made to take some impacts.

too thin and you can slice your shin if you walk too close and scrap it.

Bet you'd be surprised how many front fascias are scraped in that area.
