Vortex splitter install, and cut front bolts
I got the lip from Corvette Creationz, who is an awesome forum vendor btw, and installed it earlier today 
While I was in there, I also changed the oil, and cut the rubber off my front bolts. I've got the nice wheels, now I gotta get the ride height right 
I will be better with cut rears, or longer bolts. Another day

Can you post a better pic of the drivers side near the tire? I'm about to order one of these to replace my ACI (it hangs too low and scrapes EVVVVERRRRYYYYTTHIIIIIINNNGG) but this looks like there is some funkiness going on. Thanks!
Oh, some pics from the front would be nice too, including one or two at ground level.
Also, your bronze wheels look fantastic.

The whole thing is too wide is what it is. There was maybe 1/4" of gap between the ends, and the bumper, just in front of the wheels. What I did was mask off the splitter, and the body, to run a bead of black silicone to fill the gap. As the silicone vulcanized, it shrank back a bit, but it's nothing another round of the same wouldn't fix.

actually yes, they are black because of an accident that left one destroyed. The one I bought to replace it was MSG, but I plasti dipped the whole car after I got it, not realising I would have to go back to silver before the end of the year. I still haven't repainted it, hence the black dip.

How much did that splitter set you back ? I really want to get one, Maybe just like yours. Looks like its not too low. BTW...I bought my rear spoiler from the same place too, great company.
