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

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.
