Adding ground effects
I have a new-to-me 2017 C7 ZO6 and want to upgrade the ground effects from stage 1 to 3.
My installer said that there are some really poor-quality products out there. Are the ones from corvettemods.com or extremeonlinestore.com of good quality? I can't afford factory quality of course. I just don't want to get burned. Any recommendations?
I'm looking at the two items below:https://extremeonlinestore.com/produ...38055260848298

Stay away from CorvetteMods. Numerous very negative comments from members dealing with them. ExtremeOnline is the bottom. Hit or miss with their parts. Excellent quality would by C7Carbon or ACS.

Thanks for that info! extremeonline has really fast shipping. corvettemods was going to take forever to ship. What is it that is wrong with extremonline? Product or customer service.
Looking at ACS now....

ACS is the right choice. EOS is just okay. Typically the finish doesn’t quite match, or in my case, the clear coat just flaked off. Physically they’re decent quality, fit is good enough, but for me, the finish wasn’t up to par. It was cheap though!

True, It WAS more, but they explained how the rear spoiler insert from other companies was made out of the US and made out of cheap material that will crack within a short time, especially the smoke color ones. ACS is made out of poly carbonite and should last the life of the car. They called me back on Saturday afternoon even though they were technically closed. He spoke English and took his time to talk about my needs.

You made a good choice with ACS. Good luck with the install and lost up some pics when you are finished.

I agree to stay away from corvettemods and go with ACS. I'm also upgrading to level 3, one part at a time. I'm going with ACS

I believe so! I can't wait. I got a few more items too that I wasn't planning on, but wanted to fully finish out this bad boy.
I bought some rock guards and new front fender extensions. The one was messed up slightly (I'm a perfectionist) and now these made out of carbon flash too it will all match nicely! And I got a matching offset color red tow hook for the front.
I will post pictures when done for sure!

ACS is the way to go. I installed a set of ACS side skirts and Z51 rear spoiler on my wife's 19 Stingray. Paint and fit was perfect. The ACS splitter was back ordered so I got an Extreme Online stage 2 splitter for it instead. Big difference in quality and fit. The paint was terrible compared to the ACS parts. I had it repainted to match the quality of the ACS parts.
