Default New Front End & Carbon Fiber Splitter Installed!!

Finally got my new front fascia back from paint & XPEL installation. Decided to do some additional upgrades as well including: C7 Carbon Carbon Fiber Front Splitter, New Corner Light Housings, LED Lights all around (including BRIGHT Fog Light Install), PFADT Racing Tow Hook. Very happy with how this turned out! Here's a couple of pics...

It's just a stock front fascia with C7 Carbon's new splitter and APR strud rods

Thanks. From the angle it almost looked like a different front end. We don't have to run front plates here (luckily), so it gave it a different look.

Got the car back from the shop today and put got rid of the front plate for good! Here's a couple more pics with some detail shots of the splitter!


Splitter hangs about an inch lower than my old APR splitter

Large front inlet is functional. I modified my intake with an icebox a few years back so cold air feeds the intake and radiator through the front now

detail of the C7 Carbon splitter. VERY happy with the quality


LED lights in the front really make the car feel more modern!
