Front Splitters
What is the purpose of the two black rubber splitters on the front of the C7 and what happens if they are removed?
On the C5 they were used to send air around the car at speeds of 100 mph an over. I removed them, and cut 3/4 inch off the remaining center section, and never had a overheating problem in 30,000 miles including track days at Road America.

The splitter is a flat piece that fits under the front fender's leading edge and is also used for air flow.
