Front Splitter Solutions?
I'm looking for a solution for my front splitter that is basically just hanging there and looks crappy? Should I get a new plastic/rubber one from the dealer, or a carbon fiber one from an after market dealer. 2012 3lt GS Corvette. Thanks in advance. Bill in San Diego

A replacement OEM plastic one is cheap ($158 + shipping) compared to the Carbon Fiber ZR1 style splitter (like mine from RPI - $500 to $600).
Already had to replace mine once.
But the carbon fiber ones do look good.

If you mean "Just Hanging there" as it is loose or broken, then I would think real hard on spending the big bucks on a carbon fiber splitter. They look great, but break very easily plus the repair cost can be as much as a new one.
However if what you mena is that it just does not seem to add anything to the car, then by all means a carbon fiber splitter will do that for you.

. I've had mine on for about 6 months now, and not even a stone chip. I think you have to be extremely aware and very cautious on where you driving. Splitters look awesome on our cars, that's why I installed it. Go for it and be careful!
BTW my car is lowered on stock bolts.
