Caravaggio makes original high quality body kits. ACI makes low grade copies.
Not sure why you gave a link to ACI rockers when you're talking about splitters...
If you want a functional splitter, go to the guys that make wind tunnel tested kits for World Challenge Corvette's: www.Corvetteracebodies.com.

I cant speak for both but IMO Carvvaggio is a very poor design. I have yet to see them on a car that fit proper or at least what I think they should.
I had a set....after seeing the way they fit they were sent back. TacyC6 had the same problem as well as other on here

I had a set of Caravaggio side splitters 2 years ago, and never even painted them. After about 30 minutes of looking at them, placing them against the car, seeing how they attached to the car, I sent them back to John. Just did NOT like the design or the way they fit to the car. They were not up to my standards of what can go into or onto my Corvette.
As for ACI, I have never seen their side splitters but I think the guy above saying they make "low grade copies" does NOT really know and is being unfair to ACI saying that.
I have an origional piece designed by ACI, a front chin spoiler that is extremely well made, perfect fitting piece and a very ingenious way to install the piece to the car. ACI parts are extremely well made parts. Above average.

I have the Carravaggio SkunkWerkes Kit. Here is my first-hand opinion:
If you follow the crappy instructions, you will get a crappy installation. Nothing fits right and there are gaps that you can see daylight through.
If you install the kit by sanding it to conform with the body and you rivet and epoxy it to the car, it will look awesome. Do not use the recommended 3M tape method! It SUCKS!
Just my .02 worth.
