Default front splitter 97 base

just finished installing my e-bay front splitter. i love it. install very easy. i was thinking about painting it torch red like the vette but wanted to see how it looked flat black. i'm gonna leave it black as it really looks good with the license plate filler mod. i cut the center from the plate filler and used black screen with red corvette letters and it really goes good with the splitter. gonna take it for a ride tonight to check on any heat change. should be ok as the factory air dam is still hooked up. have read about it making it hotter and have read about no change. i'll find out about it tonight. if i could ever master this pos chrome book i would post pics. Denny

Dumb question, can it really be called a base if there was no other trim level of the car offered in 1997?

I know you're trying. Just take a pic with your phone, and then log onto the forum with your phone. It makes it super easy. The other option would be to email the pics to yourself as an attachment. Then you can drag the attachment straight from the email to the photo window on the forum. You can also drag the attachment from your email onto your desktop. Good luck! Looking forward to seeing the results.

Hey, you gotta do what ya gotta do! Splitter looks good. Not too "cow catcher" like but still makes the front look a bit more aggressive. Good addition. 👍

thanks zona. install was way easy. thought about painting it torch red but left it alone to see how it looked. these are very inexpensive so if it turns to crap your not out much. i think it goes good with the license plate filler mod.
