I have the same Zero1 on mine, just added the poverty splitter in its natural plastic finish, looks great. The poverty splitter will get rock and road debri hitting it so opted to not paint, it looks great (can edit later to show pic). Go to any vette show you'll see lots of grand sports and Z06 with carbon painted side skirts and poverty splitter un-painted. Use screws to mount the splitter and if you don't like it you can take it off and have a local shop paint it satin black for about $100-150 tops.

I have a poverty splitter on my 15 black coupe. The splitter as delivered is almost a gray/black and really didn't do much for me against the gloss black on the rest of the car. I thought about taking it back off and painting it a carbon flash. I had some satin black tire dressing on my junk shelf. I put a good amount on a rag and carefully dressed the splitter still installed on the car. A bit of rubbing, but it came out great; a nice satin black against the gloss black. I touch it up now and then but it has pretty much stayed very nice. I'm not a waxer and drive the car as much as possible so it's got some miles on it (20K). Just a suggestion to an extra 400 bucks for painting.

Thanks for your advice. I'm probably going to do just what you recommended. Bolt it on unpainted and see how I like it. Would you mind posting a pic of your car? Thanks!

Bump.... OP did you ever add the stage 1 Z06 splitter? Anyone have pics of how the plastic splitter and satin rockers match up? I can't make up my mind between satin and carbon flash for the rockers.

I’m on the road for a few days so don’t have access to all of my pics. This should give you an idea. The splitter is unpainted.

Default Asc sideskirts

Mine with ACS Zer07 side kirts and ACS front splash guards.
Easy install....no lift..just one side at a time on jack stands.
The quality and fit and finish are second to none in My mind.
