Z07 Carbon Fiber Front Splitter
I'm negotiating with a dealer on a low mileage 2017 Z07 that has a crack on the underside of the front Carbon Fiber Splitter. Has anyone replaced one of these? What should I expect to pay to purchase one to replace myself? I see some prices of $1,800 for GM replacement part but other companies sell theirs for $800.00.
Are there ones with better fitment and matching?
Thanks in advance!

Our C7 Stingray Front Splitter fits all C7's. These are exact copies of the Z06 OEM parts. All carbon parts are made using a marine gel coating with UV protection and then clear coated and polished using an automotive cleaner that also has UV protection. This prevents the carbon from discolouring. The kit comes with all the necessary hardware and instructions.

Unfortunately, I tried that. They won't budge. It's a great deal and they are saying they won't change it or even give me $500 towards a new one. Deal is at rock bottom according to them with no fat left on the bone. They are saying they will sell the car at the Manheim auction for the price they are offering to me so they won't lower the price.

I feel that might be BS but if you feel like the current price of the car + $2k for oem front splitter online deal ( $1750 splitter and $250 for shipping) is a good deal then you should go for it, if not then you should move on IMO because I love my stock CF splitter and would not change it with an aftermarket one
P.S aftermarket part might not match the GM CF weave

C7 carbon looks great and the parts aren’t right next to each other making it a little less important and they are like $700 I think??

Crack on the “underside”...provide more details. Is it visible, is it likely to propagate, only cosmetic, etc..you get the point.
All Z07 splitters are carbon fiber, some have the exposed weave that you pay additonal for, others are just painted carbon chop. If it is the later, and the damage isn’t great perhaps repair is possible.

It's a splitter on a used car... that you have to get on the ground and feel for? Seems like a non issue - and no way in hell the dealer would spend a dime on that.

If you have to be on the ground to see it I wouldn't worry about it. However, I would add the ProTekt guards to protect the splitter from further damage.

Tell them you will buy the spoiler from their parts department, that should eliminate shipping costs to you, and they put it on at no cost. Win, win. Good luck!
