I'm not quite sure what all you're looking for in the way of a "ground effects kit" but many companies sell aero-enhancing products for the C6. Breathless Performance seems to have a good selection of aero products for the C6. APR sells excellent aero products. For something more exotic you might look to Geiger. I believe Geiger sells an actual body kit. Do a search for Gieger Corvette and I'm sure something will turn up. I'm not 100% sure it's from Geiger but here's a Z06 with a body kit pictured below. Good luck!

I guess I have the obvious question, do you have ground scraping problems with the front ground effects spoiler / splitter if you putvit on a C6 coupe without lowering the car

If you are worried of scraping check out the rk sport ground effects. They are made of urethane so if it hits or scrapes, it can flex.

Who knows a paint shop in the Metro Atlanta area that can paint a grounds effect kit with the Matching Machine Silver the same as the car, as close as possible to in Cobb County

They are ZR1 Style, fiber glass with 3M carbon fiber vinyl, and yes they can be color matched you can order them that way if you do not want to have it done yourself.

I have CF all the way around and my Vette is lowered. The lowest place is not the splitter, but the leading edge of the side skirts. I have an abrupt uphill change from the street to my driveway, taking it at a 60* angle allows no scraping.

You go with LGs? Their reinforced splitter looks awesome. I've come an inch from pulling the trigger myself over the last few weeks.
