I have their stuff. It isn’t a great fit but those just looking at the car as they walk by probably wouldn’t notice the gaps

Anybody ever use G3 Carbon? I really don't know if I wanna go the car on route for two reasons.
1) My driveway sucks and I scrape now with the stock splitter.
2) I'm not sure what will look better ABS or Carbon?
I do have a carbon ZR1 rear spoiler from C7 Carbon, but I wasn't absolutely thrilled with the fit.

I went with EOS carbon. The fit wasn't great out of the box but I was able to execute it well taking my time and using GM rear fender flares. I did not want the carbon splitter because of the scaping concerns mentioned above.In summary, very happy with how the project turned out.

Originally I started out with a C7 Carbon ZR1 Front Splitter painted Gloss Black approx $400 shipped

Then I decided I wanted Skirts so I bought off EBAY a Fiberglass Repop brand called KAPALINI (made in India)
Came primered. I then spent $400 to have local painter do a mediocre job of painting ALL the above Carbon Flash

Then I bought a EOS Carbon Flash painted Splitter (as a spare) for $209 Shipped.

When I recently had XPEL Ultimate Plus added to my Front Bumper the XPEL dealer included PPF on the EOS Splitter.

So Im now running the EBAY skirts and EOS front Splitter. The ends of the splitter dont meet the Black Plastic Fender

After already getting two rock chips in my locally painted C7/Carbon Spliiter I would HIGHLY SUGGEST you XPEL Whatever
Splitter you install if you care about Cosmetics going forward
pcs as well as the C7 Carbon but overall still look good

If I was starting from scratch Id order EOS "Carbon Fiber" Skirts and Splitter (best value $$$) and work with these

Ive become an amatuer expert on this entire subject including the Rear Wheel Opening FLARE and all the Hardware

Katech is all Made in USA. Front Splitter has undertray with functional brake ducts. No modification needed!

KATECH side skirts are $1200 plus shipping ......Not many street driven owners willing to pay that
kinda $$$$$

Important feature to use GM FLARES & GM Fasteners (in front of rear tire) in conjunction with
Aftermarket SKIRTS ........
I also used Black Plastic Rivets (what they use on BMW's) Need special tool I bought on AMAZON
under $20

I have a Apsis steering wheel for my F350. Was very happy with it at first, the urethane cracked 6 months later and they wanted to charge me to fix it.
