Default Front splitter and side skirts?

I have a 2022 HTC non-Z51 with high wing spoiler. What are my options and costs for a front splitter and side skirts? Do most people do both or just the front splitter? How do I make sure it's the same color as the high wing? I forgot what color it is. It's the standard high wing when I built the car from the dealer.

I see Paragon has them. Are they ever discounted? What's the usual going rate? What about OEM?

Do I order the Z51 or non-Z51 front splitter? What's the difference?

ACS & EOS both have multiple options if you're in the mood to browse their sites.

I have EOS 5vm front splitter, two piece, fit perfect. Simple install, highly recommend. Went with ACS z06 side skirts. Fit great, as all their stuff does. A little more in depth install requiring drilling and Rivets, but still done in under an hour. Your spoiler is likely carbon flash metallic.

Best of luck to you!

I decided to go with ACS, and have a thread here about recommendations, my decision and partial install photos. I got the ACS Z06 rockers and 1VM front splitter. Post #83 goes in a little more detail of before and after: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...you-chose.html

Is there any reason to go with the drillless versus drilled front splitter?

I also plan on going with the ACS Z06 rockers and 1VM splitter. My car was built on Monday and NCM delivery is scheduled for 9/1! Can't wait!

I'm about to start the installation process of my EOS splitter and side skirts and am curious about the pros/cons of rivets vs. screws? Obviously once riveted its on for good. I guess screws can come loose? I've seen videos where installers have gone with the screws but said they would later replace with rivets. I figure its a one-and-done installation so why not rivet? But am up for discussion.

the splitter should line right up with the 21 screws already under there from the factory. You definitely want to use them for the splitter. I used rivets for my side skirts
