Default Best source for splitter/side fairings for 2017 Z51?

I'm sure that some of you have added the splitter (like on the Z06) to the Z51 Stingrays between 2014-2017, thinking of adding them to my 2017 Z51, either carbon fiber or (preferably) black flash to match the rest of the black trim on the car.

Any suggestions/links to sources you guys like and photos of how your car looked before/after? Any responses appreciated. Photos of my car below which already has a Z06 grill.

I got mine from Zip Corvette and have no complaints at all after dealing with them a few times.

I put the Front Splitter, Side Skirts, cover over the chrome strip on front grill and smoke tail light covers. Got everything from RPI. Good quality products and reasonably priced too! Josh is the owner. I had mine put on at the 2017 Aug. Corvettes at Carlisle show. There is a thread with some pics of mine. I have a 2017 with the Z51.

If cost is no object just get the OEM ones. As good as a lot of the 3rd party ones are, they all look "chunky" next to the OEM ones.

Wherever you buy them,
Just STAY AWAY FROM "CORVETTE MODS" or NEXT GEN" (same company)
horrible quality and nonexistent customer service.

Funny I have bought several times from corvettmods.com with no issues what so ever, granted not side skirts, but plenty of under the hood dress up stuff and interior stuff.

My side skirts are c7carbon and are excellent quality. I bought mine unpainted and painted myself. If I was to do it again I would have bought carbon fiber ones.

There have been plenty of members who have gone with eBay ones with very positive reviews as well.

As far as custom painted parts, the paint and prep on the side skirts I waited 45 days for was terrible,...
getting the quality issues resolved, was impossible. I was offered a $50 gift card to compensate.

I got C7 Carbon Z06 OEM look carbon flash side skirts. Had the chevy dealer install them and the dealer complimented the fit and finish. They said they were the best they had seen.
