Default Which front lip should I get?

I'm really not good on the naming conventions - what style / fit and finish front lip do YOU think would look best considering the other bits on my car? I like something larger, and with the vertical winglets (I think they're called) on the ends. I appreciate the input!

Stage 2/3 front splitter (both are the same part) painted in carbon flash, with stage 3 winglets (the "vertical" you asked for).

Reach out to C7Carbon (a vendor here). Many happy customers

The carbon flash will match the rest of your trim.

Personally I prefer the inexpensive EOS stage 3 front splitters. I've used them on multiple cars and like the way that look, plus you can buy individual parts WHEN you damage them. C7Carbon also makes great stuff, I agree with @LT4CMG

I am not into the "$2,000 carbon fiber" splitters. They are great but I am frankly too cheap and too hard on them.



Current EOS splitter (already destroyed the first, so this is the second). I like the stage 3 from all angles. It's painted in carbon flash and matches the side skirts and other trim.

LIKEWISE! I did a SS 1LE and then a ZL1 1LE but both were white. THAT BLUE is perfect, WOW! Nice car.

Camaros are at the top of the list for me.

I'll contact C7Carbon to see what is available. I also looked at the EOS site. I guess you were referring to one of these two lips:



Thoughts/opinions between the two?

The one I have is the one on the right and I dig it. For $400 it works well and I don’t feel too awful when I damage it!

the 3.5 looks great but my driveway is steep and I am .000001mm away from scraping already.

My EOS splitter lasted a couple weeks. I was forced to exit a driveway different than the one I planned to use. Scraped the slightest bit and within 2 weeks the paint started flaking off in chunks.

Would be a great match for your car.
