Default Front Splitter Question

I am thinking about ordering one of these front splitters. One is on eBay the other on Amazon. So before you go off on buying cheap produce on these sites, I have a reason. My '07 is lowered and I am not sure how long it will last, so before I drop the big bucks on a painted version or a Carbon Fiber one I thought this would work.

That eBay seller is the same folks I bought my ZR1 style front splitter from for my 2011 GS .... but, the wide-bodied cars use a different splitter than the Base C6 uses, so I can't comment on the one your looking at.

BTW ... Mine looked great installed right out of the box (no aftermarket finish applied to it)

Be advised ... You will have to drill the mounting holes in it. Just take your time.

used the same seller as listed in the link provided below for mine, as did numerous others here on the forum with great results............

the link is for a base car version, and his pricing seems to be lower than what the OP's link had.......................

I bought it, tried to install it and it cracked in 2 places while installing it. I contacted the seller and he offered me a refund before I even asked for a refund. Almost as if he were expecting it. He didn't even ask me to ship it back. He just asked for some pictures of the cracked splitter.

The splitter doesn't follow the curves of the front bumper. He might have sent me the wrong splitter. Who knows?
