Front splitter replacement options
I am having a body shop replace my front splitter ("like for like"), and wanted to get some opinions from the crowd here.
They said the carbon fiber front splitter that was on the car is no longer available, and said I could select any available splitter (within reason, of course) to replace it. The shop manager recommended this one as a close match:

Any recommendations for that vs another decent CF front splitter?
Thanks in advance!

You could go with the poverty splitter or take a look at the offerings from companies like ACS, C7 Carbon, RPI Designs, etc.

I'm not a fan of the stage 3 bug catchers (side winglets) that I had on my splitter, so I replaced the splitter with this one from C7 Carbon. I like it A LOT better. It looks great on the car.

I don't see that you have any front splitters for a C7

If you want something similar to what was on there, I would say Anderson Composites or C7 Carbon are going to be the closest match. If you don't mind switching to carbon flash then ACS is a great choice.

@Pineapple provides a good summary in this post.
FWIW, I went with a combination of parts from @ACS Composite and @C7 Carbon. I remain happy with both.

True statement. I’m on my 3rd…or is it the 4th? Two were taken out by me, one by a valet attendant and one by my dealership. I wound up going with Extreme Online Sports Stage II in carbon flash. Not terribly expensive like OE or ACS - so it will be less painful the next time.

I am contemplating a splitter replacement for my battered OE Stage 1. Now that I see more positive outcomes with EOS, I may give them a try to redeem the past issues I've had with their products. Thinking of their Stage 2 with end pieces. Thinking
