Default Lashway Motorsports products and install thread (real time)

I'm currently at Lashway motorsports having the following done:

Z06 front grille
Z06 rear vents
Z06 front splash guards
Lowering bolt
Lashway aero kit V2 (carbon flash metallic)

I will post pics as he progresses... So far one rear vent is complete. Does anyone need a specific picture taken for their own reference while he is doing any of this?

Thanks for doing this! Per our earlier exchange, I'm definitely interested in seeing the end results.

I personally would like to see some detailed pics of the new front splitter and perhaps a side-by-side comparison next to their old splitter if they still have one in the shop. I'm clear on the differences in the Z06-style side skirts in comparsion to their previous Street and Track versions, however I'm not really clear on the difference of their new splitter compared to the old splitter (which I really liked).

Also, is there a difference in the front Z06 splash guards compared to the Stingray splash guards? I thought the GM splash guards were the same for both models.

For sure... I'm getting some AC in the waiting room but I'll walk out there in just a couple. Since I'm doing the Z06 splash guards I believe they are using the Lashway Z06 splitter... Once we get to that step we will compare the two with the splash guards on. Pics to come

Here are the side by side pics... Main changes are they added tabs on the ends to provide a tight secure fit, extends out half an inch further, also the center is slightly different. I will post pics once he installs them. Here are the pics of the Z06 splash guards/fender trim which will also be going on.

Thanks for the additional pics. I feel better now after looking at the new front splitter because I was hoping they didn't radically change the design and by the looks of it, the extra corner reinforcement is a great idea.

I misinterpreted your Z06 splash guards as it looks like you're installing the Z06 fender spats that wrap around the wheel well. Looking forward to seeing the end results. Nothing better to do on a hot and humid, pre-tropical storm weekend in Florida. LOL!

The splash guards for the Z and the stingray are the same.

Erik will be making mods to the Z06 fender flare so that it will be a bolt on. Next up lowering bolts and side skirts

Love the new splitter! Plus it matches up great with the Z06 grill. It's also great to know you can still swap the Z06 grill on the 2016s if you have the front cameras as the camera connections are interchangeable with the Stingray.

Looks great so far. On the new splitter design, did he had to drill two new holes near the tips to attach those two new mounts?

As you can see, there is no need to raise or jack up the vehicle. He installed the whole kit in less than 20 mins
