Do you find that the bumper savers actually work? They recommend welding them...did you weld or just bolt on?

Yea, I agree. I actually ordered my Z06 with the Stage II and added the stage III winglets and the Wickerbill.

I had some on my C5 Z06 and they did help.
Unfortunately, on the C7 Z06 with the front splitter, the hang distance is much greater and the savers are not going to help much. I have some sitting in a box and have not installed them.
If they could be mounted further forward off the front bumper then they could work.
