I just replace them. I have done so on my 2023 3 times now. LOL If you are referring to the factory "poverty splitter" they are pretty flexible. Mine are fiberglass so not to forgiving. I wouldnt worry about it.

Our C6 scraped and trashed the cheap lip air dam. It was a 3 piece black flex plastic held together with push pins. It was loose at one joint, but never worse in 80K miles. C7 wasn't as bad and with care was wounded but survived 70K miles. The C8 has a much more generous approach angle. It doesn't scrape in our most frequented places at all. It is replaceable if needed. But I can't imagine we ever would. Out of sight out of mind. More things to worry about like a solution to World Peace.

LOL Words of wisdom. I dont have front lift, am lowered on Eibach springs, and a aggressive Paragon/Maxon kit. Rubbing is a fact of life for me. I buy splitters by the twos and just swap out when something cracks. Usually on the drivers side. LOL Factory height and factory spitter and I think you will be fine. With that said, My C7 has a full carbon fiber APR kit that cost me about $10K. I found a company that sold a plate to protect the bottom. Looks like they sell for C8 as well but it isnt cheap. You could buy 5 splitters for that price. Replacing it is a 30 min job. Takes me longer to jack my car up then it does to replace. Chevrolet - Scrape Armor

Your crazy LOL That poverty splitter is less then $100 I thought. Someone will post a part number with facts I could be wrong. Hell everyone is raving about the new 25 splitter, I am sure its the same price. You can get a brand new one painted gloss black that looks 100X better then stock for less then $100. There are so many styles out there. Mine is really aggressive but a subtle "Z51" style is heads and toes better then factory IMO. Shoot if you lived in Norcal I would swap for a case of beer.

Thats a good call out Bob. I damaged the 2 plastic pieces up front that go under the radiators. The pieces were about $180 and shipping was about $90. Funny thing is I needed exhaust manifold gaskets for some new headers I bought and a starter for my Camaro so I ordered all 3 parts together and shipping was the same lol. Those parts houses usually have great deals on oil so if you do your own changes thats a consideration.
