Default C8 Ground Effects Kit

Does anyone happen to have some really good photos they can share of a C8 with the OEM ground effects kit (GM Part # 84254456)? The pics provided by GM on line are too small to get a good idea of what the car looks like with the kit installed.

Thanks,


Keith

It’s really just the Z51 front splitter and the rocker extensions bundled together. I ordered it for my non Z51 HTC. I installed the front splitter already but I am waiting to do the rocker extensions until the splash guards are available/installed since the rocker extensions butt up against the splash guards. Probably not required since the factory piece already has a lip where the splash guard will be but I figure better safe than sorry.

Rocker panel extensions (order code; STI) with Z51 front splitter (Ground Effects Kit): GM Part # 84254456

Rocker panel extensions (STI): GM Part # 84254466
Z51 Front Splitter (Spoiler Package): GM Part # 84718127

If you damage a front splitter piece, they can be ordered individually:
Z51 Front Splitter Center piece: GM Part # 84661549
Z51 Front Splitter Driver side: GM Part # 84661550
Z51 Front Splitter Passenger side: GM Part # 84661551

Are they painted Carbon Flash, or are they just black plastic?
