Default Caution!

Please do not buy anything from Ninte on line. I purchased a front splitter for my C6 Z06, and they sent me the wrong one, one for the base model.
after multiple emails I finally sent them a photo of the one they sent next to the stock one, showing the obvious difference in width. They replied that they wanted to see a picture of it ON MY CAR, before allowing a return for refund. How dumb is that? Like I am going to go to the trouble of installing something that obviously does not fit.So, still trying to get my money back…
Stay away!

So you didn't test fit it to make sure it's the wrong one?

Should take you about 10 min to test fit & take a picture for them. I don't think their request is out of line.

You can fab it up with stuff to hold it under the front so show it without actually installing it.

Ninte only sells 1 lip for the C6 on their site, which states it's for a Z06 - which yours looks like it is. Not really seeing the issue here... It looks like the only issue is that there aren't pre-drilled holes which would make it seem like it's for a base perhaps? From your picture it looks like a Z06 lip and I can see why they want you to check fitment before messing with any returns. Not so much to ask IMO as Widebody lips are super easy as they bolt up within 5 mins...

Why doesn't anyone make the original looking wide body lip anymore? I can't be the only one that wants the oem look

Be careful, some companies will not accept a return if it was installed on a vehicle.
