I think the splitter looks great. Just wish I could get in my driveway with one on the car.

C5r
I put the c5r on my 97. I do not have any real issues with bottoming but did experience higher temps. I wound up extending down my front air dam the same distance that I lost with the splitter. This brought my temps back to pre splitter days but that extended piece does scrape and bottom on occasion. Not a big deal to me since my car is not a DD and you cant see the extended dam unless you are looking for it. The look of the splitter in my opinion makes up for the annoyance of scraping once in a while. I bought mine from Corvette Creationz out in California.
