I'll say 10 minutes total. Easy peazy.
Insert the middle screw/bolt first, no extra hands required.

me too on the ZR1

comes from the factory without splitter, so it is easier to get on hauler/truck (as you will soon find out if you ever need it towed)

here is mine, delivered without splitter or side skirts 4 years ago










I have changed the splitter in the garage twice without a jack.

Excellent. Thank you for all the replies!

In that case I'll go all out with the aggressive front splitter from the dealership. Do the photoshoot. Then throw on the other splitter.

As for lowering I may as well wait for the spring so I can see how much it lowers by itself and to give me a fighting chance on the destroyed NY winter roads.

As for snow plowing....what a great idea for a video!

Best,
Gene
