Default Katech splitter installed
Yesterday, with my wife's assistance, I finally installed Katech's fiberglass splitter for the base C6. The job was pretty straightforward. A local bodyshop painted the splitter for me about three weeks ago.

I went back and forth between purchasing this splitter or the one from RPI (the side skirts are from RPI). I ultimately went with Katech's model as I think it best suits the lines of the base C6, lacking the "snowplow" look associated with several other bolt-on splitters. This was my first purchase from Katech, and I'm very pleased with the fit and finish (it was nice to have detailed instructions included!).
