Default Ground Effects Installed

Well I decided to try the Extreme Online ABS ground effects for the base model. As far as fit and easy of installation I would f=give the side skirts an 8 out of 10. The ZR1 style spoiler is a 10 out of 10, the splitter is somewhere around a 5 or 6 out of 10. I know, you get what you pay for and these are at the bottom of the cost spectrum, but with a lowered C6 Z51 and some of the areas I have to drive in, I wanted to try and see what the life expectancy is. If these life more the say a month or two, I step up and get the more expensive components. I figure less the $300 for teh splitter and skirts is not a bad investment so if I lose one or both I will not be out as much as if I had gone the CF route.

Well here is a look see.

Very sensible approach BWF Some don't get it like you do, all they want to do is criticize that they aren't top of the line items, well yeah, I didn't want to wrap up mega money on something so prone to injury so nice job
Looks very nice

Looks nice ! I want some but I'm afraid it will scrape and I want some painted to match . Do they scrape ? If so how bad ? Was they a pain to install ?

I think they look great. I have a c.f. splitter than I paid a good bit for that has already cracked. I'll be replacing with one of these.

Actually, it has been out since they were installed.

Looks great!

Here are three different angles. two as you can see from the blue tape it was during install and the other is the finished project.
