Default EOS spiller or ACS

I am looking to add these to my Z51. Is ACS quality really double the price compared to EOS.

I purchased the ACS 5VM front splitter and I can tell you that quality costs more today than it ever has before.

I can't speak to EOS product quality but it looks like they're made using ABS while ACS' material is more durable and has an excellent fit and finish. And their price includes shipping. If you shop around you could get a small discount by not going direct to ACS as they don't discount at all.

ACS is OEM tier quality.

EOS is cheaper because it's Chinese/generic quality with questionable fitment but looks OK from a distance.

The choice is yours 🙂

Full disclosure: I have both ACS and EOS Carbon Flash painted components on my C8.

with what everyone already said. My after-market 5VM splitter (fiberglass) recently tangled with a brick planter and the planter won. I replaced it with the ACS 5VM splitter. Wonderful quality and fit, and the material is much tougher than ABS or fiberglass.

Bought my first side skirts from Corvette Mods (bought out by Top Flight Automotive) for $800 before I received delivery of my 23 C8. Once installed I could see so many imperfections that I couldn’t look at it without seeing them all and getting aggravated. I decided to go with the very expensive ACS for $1900. Drilled out the rivets on the old one, removed it and installed the ACS. The fit and finish were perfect. The old side skirts now sit on the rafters above my car in the garage. It reminds me every time I look to buy a mod not to go the cheaper route. Lesson learned.

I purchased ACS front splitter and EOS side skirts.
ACS quality is SIGNIFICANTLY better than EOS.
So much so that when my Eray arrives I won't buy from EOS if the item is available from ACS

ACS is better than OEM. Excellent customer service and everything fits like a glove.

With my car as low as it is I consider any front lip as a consumable item for my application. For this reason I am fine going with the cheaper EOS version over the ACS. I painted mine body color and I have no issues at all with the quality.
