Let me be the first to admit of scraping the bottom of the splitter only two days home. I can't tell when it happened or where it happened, but It is scrapped. I was able to buff 60 percent out, but extremely hard to get a jack underneath to lift the front enough to get a buffer on it. So, there you have it. Will buff more out when able to get it on a lift, which almost all of it will come out. It is not noticeable, but am I p----d. With that said, it's going to happen just hope you don't crack it.
i wish they made this thing out of cheap plastic. tear it up, and replace it as needed. no need for CF here, we aren’t professional racers that just go get a new one out of the truck and replace it.
it's relatively easy to wear through it if you scrape it a lot and then you end up with jagged pieces of CF and a hole on the underside of the splitter. I ended up putting some black duct tape to cover the hole until I can get a new splitter. It was an issue with the Z06 too but just the leading edge was CF and the undertray that met up with the splitter was plastic. With the ZR1 the carbon fiber wraps around and under the splitter which means it does a lot more damage.
Luckily I've only had issues with rubbing at one track. Just got some pictures last night from that event.

Very drama free. The biggest concern is that there is a curve leading up to the crest so I typically left the ground pointed off track to the right. You need to trust that you have enough track width to turn back to the left after you touch down and don't land with the wheels turned.
I'll create a separate thread for these pics so I don't derail the OPs post any further. It was just too cool not to share.

Has a source for a less costly splitter been marketed/found so as to remove the factory splitter for storage?
