Sounds like you might have the stages mixed up, which might explain your difficulty tracking it down. Stage 1 Splitter (also called "Poverty Splitter") was not available in carbon fiber and has no Winglets. Different shape entirely. The Splitter with the small Winglets is actually Stage 2, and the taller Winglets are Stage 3. If you still can't find OEM carbon fiber, I'd bet Apsis has them in matching carbon fiber.

I should have posted a pic of one of the best garments (IMHO) that someone ordered, the jacket....hopefully they don't mind me sharing, but the picture below is a ladies version of the jacket and it just looks awesome, if we order again I'm getting one of them.
If another order happens, it just takes a minimum quantity of 6 items, so yea, I'll start collecting names. Just send me a PM so I don't forget and I'll start keeping track. In the PM, include your email address as well as a rough idea as to what you would be looking for and how many.

Thank you,

Happy Anniversary, It hard to believe 1 year has went by, I think GREAT JOB EVERYONE.
The jacket is the one I bought for my wife, I am glad it looks so GOOD, I do hope
everyone gets one. I found the sizes on some things run small. I noticed that on the
T-shirt. Still waiting for the second box to arrive, will look for the lost sweatshirt inside.
Yes you can post any and all pictures of the order. I think that is good, someone may
want to order again. There is a men's jacket in the order also same color. I will share
the #'s of jackets. This will make it easier and faster finding them -- (L) # L318,
(M) #TLJ318 -- this # is for a TALL. This may make it easier if you are looking to buy
the same jacket you see in post #1084. Thank you Jim

You're correct. I have all exposed carbon fiber ground effects - Stage 2 and the car has the Z07 package. I had a lengthy discussion with GM as depending in which order form or option list you look at, the tall end caps and center wicker bill were supposed to come with the Z07 package. One fellow at GM said yes and they would send them, one said only the Z06 gets these goodies. In any event, I have the center wicker and I'm looking for the tall end caps in CF. So far haven't found any compatible with the OEM GM splitter?

On a GS, with an aero package (CFV or CFZ) you get the same thing, regardless of if you have Z07 or not. You get Stage 2.
On the GS, really it's either Stage 1 or Stage 2, that's it (of course unless you add it on aftermarket).
If someone is sending it to you for free, great, but it's not part of the package.

I really like the looks of these winglets as well. I have changed my wheel spats (moldings) from the GM plastic to Carbon Fiber and with the exposed carbon fiber front splitter I'm trying to stay with the carbon fiber winglets as well vs. the carbon flash. Not having a lot of luck so far finding ones to fit OEM splitter using the same mounting. I might have a lead with APR?

I had another question for the forum...has anyone had a showcar placard or sign board made for their GSCE? I was looking on line and saw a lot of suppliers but wondered if anyone had a recommendation and what they did for design?

When you installed your rear wicker bill, did you have to buy any longer screws to install? I have the same spoiler you have on your car but have heard that longer screws might be needed. Also, is there any rubber washers that are required or does the wicker bill just bolt up to the spoiler?
Thanks

The one I bought on eBay (see below) was a perfect fit, no headaches, used the original mounting screws and the wicker came with oval shaped rubber "gaskets". Piece of cake to install and looks great! The GM price is $$$ - this was only $159.99 USD

Perfect. I attached a photo of my car with the wicker installed. I used the screws that came in the OEM spoiler (torx head) and the gaskets that came with the wicker and adjusted it all the way up for looks.

I noticed you still have the Pilot Cup2 tires on... I replaced mine with Pilot sports and sold the Cup tires to a Corvette forum member while they still looked new. It is my understanding, based on info that michelin gave me that they have a milage life of 3K miles.
