Default Which splitter?

Anyone have any thoughts on the splitters? I am looking at the Nowicki carbon fiber vs ZR7 stage 2 from RPI vs Lingenfelter, all with rocker/skirts package. Since the lingenfelter goes much deeper under the nose, i'm wondering about concerns for disrupting airflow to cooling system. Anyone with any experience/thoughts would be helpful. This is for a 2014 z51 7 speed

I have Lashway's splitter and street skirts. However, I attended the 20th annual All Corvette Show this past weekend in Minnesota. Sitting side by side was Lashway's and ACS Composite. Without question, the ACS product looked much more finished and designed for the C7. If I had to do it over again, I would go ACS...

I have the ACS splitter and side skirts in Carbon Flash on mine and love it. I receive compliments as soon as I pull in anywhere and as mentioned looks OEM. Fit and finish is excellent.

That said, I've seen the WeaponX kit as well and it is stunning in carbon fiber. The pics posted don't do either of these kits justice. They must be seen in person and are beautiful.

Personally, I prefer splitters that don't replicate the fangs. The only ones that I have seen like that are the LG splitter, which is not a bad choice, the MTI splitter, which is far too aggressive for street driving, and the Hennessey splitter, which is my favorite aesthetically, but I wouldn't feel good about spending money there.

that's the way im leaning. my car is whit eand I like the fangs, but I think a splitter without them balances the look. Do you know if the LG one is the same as the Nowicki design for concept7 car they had at SEMA?

Thx bro If you look at my design, it comes up between the fangs to take some of the edge off of the front and not look like a stair step from the splitter up to the bumper. In the end, it's all about personal tastes. Let me know if I can help at all, if not happy hunting!

I believe so. This is what they posted back in January.










In contrast, Hennessey Splitter















It's also 3000 goddamned dollars.
