Doesn’t look right but I am not really surprised considering how cheap the parts that vendor has.

The stage 3 winglets look Carbon Flash, but the main splitter does not. Is that expected or just the picture?

Looks like a result of saving money. Do you know what brand they are other than a Vendor?

Isnt that the space where the fender spat is supposed to stick through?

The stage 3 winglettes are made for a widebody.

Did the box say ExtremeOnlineStore by any chance? I've ordered from JWM before and it looks like they're just a drop shipper.

That makes a lot of sense. In that case, OP could just block it off with a flat piece of fiberglass. It'll clean up the airflow and still allow the rest of the splitter to perform.

Agreed, the wheel spat fills that space.

Right, the winglets are as same as the GM side winglets. The space/gap will be covered if your C7 contain fender flares.

A few others have reported the same... As mentioned, the gap is to accommodate the GS/Z06 wheel spats. While the Stage 3 will obviously fit the Stingray, there will be a gap. Perhaps there are vendors making Stage 3 winglets specifically for the Stingray, but I’m not aware of any.

Yup, that is where the spat fits. Well, on cars that have spats.
Buy a set of OEM spats off the CF site and you are good to go!

Here are some pics of the OEM stage 3 winglets on my GS.

There's still a bit of gap with the spats.
