Default Front Splitter

Does anyone out there make a non-carbon fiber front splitter? I see a few carbon fiber ones, but I think it will look out place since everything else is in carbon flash.

Thanks in Advance!

Apsis makes a Carbon fiber one that is painted carbon flash. I actually just bought one from them but don't have my car yet so can't comment on fitment. The pieces themselves are great looking tho!

Fitment is good. I got one. Don't know if it's carbon fiber though.

Although I like AGM, I don't think I could do $1,799 for their carbon flash painted vs. $950 for Apsis.

All that have them, did you have installation done or do it yourself. Sounds like the Apsis at least can be done without removing front bumper.

A little off topic but I just wrapped my front splitter in carbon flash for a fraction of the cost and it looks great.

They charged $250 to wrap but you can also buy the material yourself for maybe $50-$75 and do it yourself, the wrap material can be bought on Amazon. There is a video floating around this forum of a guy taking off the front splitter and doing it himself.

All four lower panels need to be removed to get access to the upper bolts on the splitter.



Panels to be removed

AGM has a carbon flash splitter. Took a few hours.

AFAIK, no one makes a non-CF front splitter yet. I am a bit surprised by that. I thought by now, all the chinese ebay sellers would have caught on and offered a carbon flash painted ABS version like what they do for the stingray Z51 versions. So far nothing. I am waiting patiently for that to happen though. It is only a matter of time. And once they are making them, it will probably only be a couple hundred bucks.

I did the C7 Carbon splitter in Carbon flash: https://c7carbon.com/product/corvett...h=carbon-flash

We installed it when We did the Scrape Armor Grill guards and had the front fascia off.

I installed the Apsis yesterday. Fit was perfect once the under tray panels were off it was fairly straight forward. I noticed the 1st tray that I didn't have to remove was cracked and broken and I could make it work but I'd prefer to replace. Any idea where I can get this part?
