Default C5R front splitter pics.

I'm looking for some pics of the underside of a C5R front splitter mounted on the car. I've modified.my front bumper and want to install this style front splitter but need a birds eye view on the fitment. Any help from those who have installed one would be greatly appreciated.

Nice job! Thanks for sharing the info and pictures.

I have the same front splitter and ZR1 Carbon Fiber rear spoiler from C7 carbon. Hopefully I should be installing them soon.

Nice work with the brackets. Besides the two brackets you made, where else did you attach the splitter?

Thanks, it's hard to see in the pictures, but the splitter is kind of shaped like a 'U' profile.

On the section that touches the bottom of the bumper I drilled a bunch of 1/4" holes and used those plastic push fasteners. Not the Christmas tree type, but the kind that has the phillips head and expands as they are inserted. They seem to hold very well.

Nice pics, makes me think I could maybe get one. My driveway is steep and the rubber dams rub every time going up and down, but looking at the pics it might be high enough to clear....
