Had a small group over today to hang out, installed a new splitter piece on a C8 due to a deer carcass hit at night, another C8 on the trip brought home more venison attached to the underneath.............

Anyone see a difference of the splitter?

Middle is a bit darker, but would not have noticed it if you didn’t point it out.

Stock splitter is body colored, replacements are black. Owner said let's just replace the center, no one will know and beside I have the two end ones if I crack one of those.

Aero is very important to me so I noticed it immediately. Not a fan.

Owner likes it, compliments the black "grill". Don't notice it unless you're looking for it.

Looks like a nice multi-generational gathering! I'll say this...if you had any sort of an event involving the word "deer" and you came out only needing to replace a single section of a splitter, I think I'd call that good and put it on the list of things I was thankful for at dinner last night!

^ I agree. The car owner was really lucky that no other damage was done to the car. Nice job on the splitter install.
