How did you manage to get the black Z51 rear spoiler but not the black mirrors. I thought they were sold as a package??? Are you still happy with the front splitter??? The reason I ask is have you "scraped" anything yet with it???

I have plenty of ground clearance though I will avoid steep driveways . The other splitters are much lower . P.S. I did not lower mine .

Regarding the carbon flash spoiler, I thought (personal opinion here) that the mirrors AND the spoiler in carbon flash was a bit of an overkill so I ordered the car without that option. I then purchased an OE carbon flash spoiler from a forum dealer and installed it. I like the that it's a bit different than most and for me it's just enough contrast.

I got both of them primed. I put on 4 coats of black satin, then 4 coats of a "matte" clear coat.
I'm usually a big fan of flat black, but wanted something a little more upscale .. and didn't want anything glossy. The satin and matte clear coat was perfect.
Thanks.

Ended up going with ACS for the splitter and side skirts and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. This stuff is OEM quality and comes well packages with all required installation directions and hardware. I ordered sort of last minute and the shipping took 3 days to my door, can't beat it!
There are a couple of ways to install it, I understand some guys have used only the existing holes / hardware with 3M tape which is probably fine, I elected to do the install as recommended with the extra hardware. During the install I also deleted the chrome piece on the grill and elected not to reinstall the air dams in front of either tire. After much reading about this it doesn't seem like a huge deal if you're not at the track and I think it improves the look. Of course I saved them in the event I ever need them, they install in about 5 minutes. Anyway...here is the finished product and I'm really happy with it...

Doing this with my order....
I might go with a Carbon Fiber Spoiler to match the Top.
Going with the Carbon Flash on the spliter and skirts because I dont want to chage the rear..
Great Looking Car. what is the Kit Number ?
