Default Stage 3 splitter feedback

Saw this at Extreme Online. Anybody have any feedback positive or negative on this front splitter?. The price caught my attention but I saw too many negative reviews on Amazon regarding fitment and finish quality. $460 is a hell of price as compared to other options. Wondering if its a case of 'you get what you paid for.' Thanks

I cannot help you with the Stage 3, but my experience with their Stage 2 was less than stellar. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1600268093

Thanks. I am thinking about staying with the factory stage 1 set up on my car.

Avoid like the plague. Don’t skimp out when buying after market parts. Just go to ACS and be happy. I wasted 3 weeks on EOS junk.

they were unable to supply me with any stage 3 winglets that were defect free

1st splitter was a mess
2nd was too!

neither were flat enough on top to securely fasten to the bumper.










Scuffed on arrival

Splitter arrived scuffed up


Summer 2019 was ok. December 2019 I had 2 that were made so badly. Sent both back.

Look at the slope on the top of the front one (original EOS from summer 2019) compared to the one they supplied in December 2019 Bodyshop refused to install it because it would have been such a poor fit. Too sloped where it needs to meet the underside of the bumper

Their winglets didn’t even line up well to the splitter

Oh boy! Thanks a bunch on the update. Maybe that's why they are on sale.

Checkout ACS. It’s a bit more $$ but it’s seriously good stuff

i got their front splitter, with undertray and that thing is solid as a rock!! The paint was perfect and so was the fit.

Ditto on ACS. Cost more, but fit and finish is outstanding. I've had RPI and G3 Carbon splitters....they don't compare. ACS Customer Service is also outstanding. Military discount if you qualify.

I had good luck with their stage III winglets, they came separately from the splitter and appeared OEM. No issues whatsoever with the winglets.

I'll have feed back also tomorrow, some of the picks on gm winglets carbon flash may be a gm quality issue. I'm crossing my fingers, ordered through the ebay store so I have at least feedback option as well as paypal recourse.

I installed the stage 2 on mine. Don’t know about the stage 3. It came out pretty good. I think a lot has to do with what you use your car for. Is it an every now and then “show car” or is it your daily driver or is it strictly track. Mine is my daily driver, so I already know it will more than likely get scratched up or scraped on something. In fact, I already hit a 2x4 that was in the middle of the road at night and scraped up the bottom a little. So having the cheaper option on my car is fine by me. I think it still looks good. Fitment was good. You do get what you pay for. But knowing when I inevitably mess it up, it will only cost me like $250 to replace it vs the ACS at something like $700(can’t remember the exact price).

You should probably avoid them. They’re paint match is the worst! I’m taking my brand new splitter to my paint and body man to be reshot.

I bought the complete Stage 3 package for my 2016 Z & all fit perfectly, no issues, however I bought carbon fiber, not carbon flash, possible that made a difference in fit , but shouldn't

I appreciate the feedback on the Extreme Online splitter. I sent a couple of emails to EOS starting last week, no response, and tried to call yesterday a few times and received a full voice mail message. I will spend the extra money to get the better ACS product. I spent $70K on my car so what's few more dollars. I actually had a person at ACS dialogue with me using their chat today. Question: Does any one have any recommendations on the regular splitter versus the splitter with an under tray. I know it is stiffer but I do not plan to track my car in the near future. Appreciate the help.

I've had stage 2 ACS splitters on both of my GSs, very good quality. Both about $850 shipped.

Cheap **** isn't good and good **** isn't cheap.

you made the right choice. That published phone number has never been answered that I know of

i spent the extra and got the ACS splitter with undertray and I can tell you that thing is solid!!!!

can definitely handle more than a splitter without the undertray
