Default Silver c6 with zr1 ground effects?

I'm looking at doing the front splitter and side skirts on my base c6. I was wondering anyone had pictures of there SILVER c6 with these already done. Thanks in advance!

Hydrocarbon over fiberglass from RPI.

Really great looking mod. How much road clearance do you have on front and sides after completing? It looks pretty low. Have you had any trouble scraping?

If I try to turn left into my driveway the splitter will scrape due to the angle of the road. Right turn in is fine. Other than that there were a couple dips in the road with minor scrapes but its held up good with no damage. The side skirts have never scraped anything. You do need to be careful.

And wouldn't you know it, after I posted today about not having any mishaps I actually cracked my splitter tonight leaving a parking lot that had too much of a dip in it. I should have knocked on wood.

Sorry to hear about the 'mishap'....been there recently

The OP mentioned ZR1 ground effects so on the chance he was considering Carbon Fiber parts, I figured he may be interested in my experience with RPI recently....and spend his hard earned money accordingly. My guess is some dumb**s over there forgot to peel the stickers off the last batch they got off the boat.

I have a 'Made in Taiwan' replacement splitter for you if you want... (At least I believe in 'truth in advertising').... j/k

I like the raised red letters. They are making a comeback. I might have to look into them.
