Default front splitter

Does the 2017 grand sport front spliter take the same piece as the regular corvette uses.Or does it need a different model.who sells the best model and best price as we keep r breaking them even with camera. I see them advertised from $3oo.to $600.

The bumper cover is the same for a Stingray, Grand Sport and Z06. I have a GM Poverty Splitter on my 2016 C7 Z51 M7 Stingray.

You might try backing into parking spaces, perhaps that would help.

The poverty splitter or stage1 is the cheapest and more resilient to damage.From time to time you could even save more money on a used one in the C7 parts section.
Believe around 100 to 200 depending on the seller and shipping.The other different stages are pricey as quality and material changes.

Does anyone know if the factory carbon fiber splitter is still available? My dealer could not find a part number for it so they're thinking it's not. They could find the carbon fiber side skirts still available for shipping from Michigan at $1800 a piece.

part number 84084502 for carbon fiber. 84084503 for one painted Carbon Flash

List is ~$2,400 for the carbon fiber splitter but you should be able to find it online for ~$1,600. Shipping may add a couple hundred to that since it's an odd shape, large, and will likely be shipped insured given the cost of the part.

Damn, GM is proud of their CF pieces at those prices.
