C6 Front Splitter/Valence
Looking to replace the lower front splitter/Valance panel on my 2012 Grand Sport Corvette. Any suggestions on a good replacement that will fit without modifications other than the OEM?

Which is why I never replaced mine. Mine is scraped on the bottom half and it bothers me but I don't see the use of replacing it only to damage it backing out of my driveway. My C6 scrapes on everything. My C5 is fine.

I have an EOS ZR1 - Z06 front splitter on mine. In between each attachment point I put 3M VHB tape and it's on there very solid with no reason to add additional bracing. I have have the opportunity to drive at about 130 MPH with no visible issues.

You can get this for less than the OEM tack-on piece. The ZR1 front splitter actually creates downforce BUT if you will be doing speeds above 100mph, then you will need to get a front reinforcement piece to prevent the front bumper from being deforming due to the downforce being placed on it.

The c6 ZR1 still has lift at speed, so keep that mind. Its just less than say the base car.
Hence best even Katech could do was get a few hundred lbs of down force front/back with full aerodynamics front and back with full kit at speed, while you had the Enzo getting it full weight in down force at the same speeds instead.

What year Enzo are you referring to?

saw a guy on youtube install one of these and bought one. They are only $69-89 on ebay.(cost me 75 delivered) They come in 3 pieces(plastic)You can barely see the seem(inside of air duct space) Believe it or not, it fit perfect, didn't have to drill holes at all. I figure at that price I could replace it every couple yrs and be way ahead, since i have to replace it regularly anyway
Will look better when car is clean!! I know it will be blasphemy to some, but to me, the part is disposable and I don't have to fret that it is going to cost me a fortune if I drag it. Buy 2 and you can replace whichever part breaks!!

Definitely read the sellers feedback. Have had Issues with sellers shipping from here in the USA but based out of China. Poor quality, missing parts, bad attitude. Basically buying a throw away piece so it’s up to you to decide whether or not buying the cheapest option is worth the hassle.
