Default WeaponX splitter vs. suicidal groundhog
Damn rat, I just got done fixing and reinstalling Saturday after hitting a pallet in the road last month. Maybe Ben at weapon x wants to make me a super deal as I just don't have it in me to spend another afternoon fiberglassing it again.

I would have been happy to help him end his life in my jeep or f350 but why did he need to end it all in front of the vette

^^^ Probably the same reason I ended up killing many birds in my 73 Trans Am. It was a magnet for birds to fly into it.

Yet another costly/rigid/painted C7 splitter bites the dust
I keep a spare "disposable" GM splitter...flexible, built to take scrapes

Ugh sorry to hear it man. No worries, hit me up! I'll gladly help you out so you don't have to go get the OEM rubber one. How someone can justify spending $50k+ on a new car and look at that as the ultimate solution is beyond me
