What Front Splitters in C. Fiber?

I have an 08 Z06 I am thinking about adding a carbon fiber splitter. I have some concerns about how it is designed as I have a intercooler I want to make sure the air is not "blocked". I have seen some designs I like out there but maybe I can get a "roll call" on the available mfg's out there?

If it was designed to feed more air up into the radiator and intercooler that would be great!

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
CPG

Real carbon fiber only comes in one color, black. Any other color is actually a hybrid fabric. A few companies weave carbon with Aramid (Kevlar) or Basalt but more often than not colored fabric is actually regular old fiberglass.

It's a good choice when heat is an issue when coupled with high temp resin.
