Thanks.
Thanks.
threw on my spare zo6/gs front air dam which I don't have an issue with at those speeds, so I'd recommend some type of reinforcement. I also have the same side skirts, great fitment and no issues at high speeds or hitting high speed bumps. No hardware was included when I got mine, I just used self-tapping screws to make it easier to remove. Pic of the skirts on my base c6 with widebody and the front lip when I still had it.

OP ... your car looks absolutely great with those parts!
And to balljointnut, I totally agree...eBay pic of base car part looks ridiculously poor. (I have a base car and been thinking about adding a front splitter and haven't found one yet.)

Well, now I've ordered a cheap front splitter and side skirts. Got the below splitter as the one sold by Icon Motorsports is a tragedy appearance wise.

It is not a perfect fit but most would not notice any defects, had to trim a little on the ends but for the money you cant beat it. Comes well packaged also

Same one here. I was not happy with the small gap between the splitter and fascia, so some black weatherstrip (EDPM?) from Home Depot solved that issue.

Can any of you guys offer any advice on installing the splitter? I bought a cheap one on ebay and it came with some screws. It doesn`t look like the screws will hold very well. Can I use the screws that hold the stock lip on?

I also used the stock screws but used larger washers to better help support the splitter.
