ACS sells a Carbon Flash painted version if that's what you want.

Correct, here's some photos of the OEM Z51 splitter if it helps. Also the OEM rocker covers that are of the same material. The visualizer photos of these items aren't very good.

Are you guys happy with them?
seems like it will get 'dull' and need to be spruced up regularly with something to make it shinier

I'm very happy with my spliiter and rockers on my non Z51.
I would be more concerned if I had the CF ones.

The splash guards are the same material too. I like that they all match: splitter, rocker covers and splash guards. And the splitter is in 3 pieces that can be replaced individually if one piece gets messed up. I’m happy with the look.
