Nothing major, an inch crack but I want to get it fixed. What are my options?



Thanks,

whatcop?

I've come to terms with the fact that I am eventually going to break mine. Honestly there is no fixing it. Only replacing it. Watch who you buy from because the weave may not match in the carbon and it won't look that great.

Welcome to the club. I replaced mine with the Katech unit and have been happy.

I'm a club member I can definitely not recommend RPI! Apsis still working with but the wait is rediculous and I should've have recieved a flawed set in the 1st place IMO. Not at the prices people are charging. I am keeping a heavier but there for looks fiberlgass cianci one on the car until I go to sell my car. I'm not risking breaking that damn carbon fiber one!!!

Anyone know how much Rich charges for the GM one?

When I hit a deer back in October I was surprised that there was no external, visible damage to my splitter. It did however pull through a few of the washers/screws securing it. The body shop put on a new one (~$2200 for the GM OEM splitter as I recall, don't have the paperwork handy) and I'm keeping the original if I ever need to replace another one.

GM Parts House:

ZR1 Splitter - $1661.75

C7 Carbon

We currently produce replica ZR1 Splitters at great prices! We also just revamped our mold lineup so the parts are just like OEM

Let us know if we can help.

Broke mine in the first week, right at the middle point. It's kind of hard to tell - I know if I replace it, I'll break it again. Easy to find a replacement when I really need one.

Mine is along one of the right side creases so it isn't prominent, but I'd like to replace it for less than GM's pricing.

I was afraid there was no fixing it.

I've always been really careful, but I guess it is bound to happen! Shame they aren't stronger!

Price, weight compared to stock? Do they match the weave?

I am extremely happy with the quality of my Katech front splitter and side skirts.

The rear spoiler had some issues that I had to correct.

Not sure how well the carbon fiber weave matches the OEM ZR1 splitter but I recall a forum member doing a replacement and he was very pleased with the match.

Send Jason a private message.

Katech is on back order. Real carbon fiber so I assume it is comparable in weight. Don't know if the cf weave matches factory. Looks to be $775 shipped to SC.

THIS looks really neat!

C7 Carbon, This is a great price, $561 shipped! Don't know if it is "real" cf or what it weighs. Also don't know if it matches the factory weave.

Flyingbros quoted me $725 plus pp fees. It is real cf and only weighs 2# but they use 6k 2x2 carbon and oem uses 3k 2x2. Don't know if that will be noticeable or not.

GM Parts House has the OEM listed at $1,672 but I wasn't smart enough to figure out shipping for the splitter on their site. :-(

RPI. $704 shipped. Says it is real cf, don't know if the weave matches. Bad review From FARTPIPE !?!?! above...

Southern Car Parts, $1,100 shipped. Looks nice. Real cf.

That's what I have for now, any tips, reviews, opinions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

So far Katech looks like a reliable, well priced unit but C7 Carbon's price is outstanding if it is comparable in quality.

We will try to post up some pictures of our OEM Zr1 Splitter and one of our reproduction units later today

Sorry to bring up memories, but do you mind sharing how did you do it. (so we learn to avoid) Thanks!

I orded one from TKO and it was $499.70 shipped to Oklahoma. I ordered and paid for it Feb 23. I still dont have it. The site said nothing about it not being in stock. When I contacted TKO on March 3, they said they would contact the mfg and let me know expected ship date. I contaced them again on 3/9/12, and have yet to hear another word from them. The price was the best I could find, but I am not very happy about waiting three weeks plus to get it!
