All you guys who say they have no rash on the splitter are from SAND states with no hills and no Curbs. 35+ years ago the word "Curb" was part of an SAT, and LSAT test
for kids, all the Sand and rural kids had no clue what a "Curb" was, (taken off the test) . My splitter get's banged once a month, I just wrap it in CF look a like film, Till I want to spend $ 1,350. on a new one.

Added a stage 2 front splitter to my wife’s 2016 Z51 Vert. She likes the look. That’s all that matters.

The deflectors / air dam come off to install the splitter. You can put them back on or keep off. I put mine back on.

You should stay with the stage 1 splitter for street. I have never scraped mine, and it has 6" clearance which is huge for a Corvette.

My car is lowered all the way down on stock bolts. Poverty splitter does not scrape but deflectors do on steep incline of driveway and I go slow over speed bumps and severe dips in road. It will definitely crunch into curbs. I have front cameras but mostly back in to parking spots. I like the look a lot better with the splitter. Mine is painted carbon flash.

Have a stage 1 splitter and skirts on my 2015 z51. Both painted black to match the color of my vette.

Depends on the driveway. My Z51 C7 Carbon visible carbon splitter was about like the Stage 2 aero carbon fiber one on my Grand Sport. Side air dams hit with over 2 inch clearance in the front of the splitter.




Splitter has 5 1/2 inch clearance, and has over 2 inch clearance when side air dams scrape.

Thanks again so much for posting your pictures and your comments on the front splitter..... it really gives me a lot of useful information when I make my decision.... we just got 14 inches of snow this weekend so it looks like my Corvette won't come out of storage till the first week of May (ugh)
