Default Front bumper spoiler

Hey guys, I have a 2000 Z51 hatchback. Thinking of purchasing a front bumper spoiler, which style or manufacturer do you suggest I use. I hear that some spoilers or splitters block airflow and cause overheating.

Do not get the ZR1 splitter, get one with a center opening. The ZR1 is for the C6 front breather and the C5 is a bottom breather
