Much thanks rkj427! I've been speaking with Mike at CF Kits the past 2 days & he gave me an awesome deal on front splitter, extended skirts & the rear spoiler, shipped right to my door! Based on the research I've done & hearing your's & other members comment on the excellent fitment right out of the box, I'm extremely happy with my purchase & can't wait for the kit to get here next week!
Anyone looking for awesome fitment, awesome prices to your door, and awesome customer support then check out Mike @ CFKits.com You'll be glad you did!

I went ahead and added side skirts and front lip, I took a chance on a couple of the inexpensive ebay items. They actually fit great, I was quite impressed of the quality/fit for the low cost. None of the pieces had to be trimmed as I've read some of the brands require. The front lip was shipped in a slightly small box and wouldn't lay flat, I just used some heat to get it lay flat before drilling the mounting holes.
Thanks to this great forum for all the info!

So I got my new "cheap" lip installed and overall I'm happy with it. HOWEVER, its longer on one side then the other. My body shop did a great job making the lip look good, but there is a gap on the passenger side because the lip is shorter then the bumper. But its only noticeable upon closer inspection.
I also got my windshield tinted today

Vette looks great EH.
Thanks for the write up, I just got my kit from CFKits delivered on Monday. I'll probably do my own install also, so your write will definitely come in handy. I also called a few body shops and when they heard "Vette" & "body kit" (explaining in full detail) they all shied away, with the "you have to see a custom shop" excuse...Believe me, if there was a custom shop I would've called them first.

Strongly encourage a second person to assist with the side skirts. They are a bit tough to set- and you have to flex it a bit for the perfect it (or at least I did on the driver side)

FYI for anyone who has been browsing this thread but hasn't pulled the trigger yet. I've been following them on eBay until I can pick up a set myself and just got an email notification that wsa_auto has put these on sale. They've dropped $50 from $299 to $249.

ebay seller is 20 min from me and i picked up the front lip for $140 and side skirts for $180.
Lip installed, skirts will be done tomorrow, will be using self-tapping screws so i can remove it easy in case..
PS. on the side those are small splitter canards installed just for fun to see how it would look like. 5 min of work..

This Front ZR1 style Chin Splitter is great. And only $165 with free shipping!
Don't need any extra finish applied to it either. Looks just like the black plastic piece on the back of your C6 wide body ... Perfect match.
Yup ... made in China
Remember, this only fits only the 'wide body' C6s (GS and Z06)
