STALION

True it is somewhat plain, but when I did research on this forum in various threads dating far back until now most chose this lip. I hope no one minds me posting from past threads, but these were taken from various threads over the past couple of years. If the "plane" lip is extended out slightly it does give it a more aggressive look. Click the link below for more ideas...

Yeah thats a splitter though, I want to make something more along the lines of the ACI lip. What makes it tough is the bottom of the C5 bumper is kinda plain, just straight really. My manufacturer is ready to start on this, hopefully we can get an idea going pretty soon.

I have an idea, think of the APR splitter as the model and it's installed like on the Mag red, but not sticking out as far...maybe half inch back. You then build up the front of it adding layers to it to give it depth and make sure it follows the same line as the front bumper. It would also have to be flush with the bumper and given somewhat of a point. (Don't know if your understand what I'm saying) It would install the same way from underneath the car and it would end up looking somewhat ZR1 ish... if I got time later today I'll try and mock something up for a better visual.

Lol, here is something I came up quickly to hopefully get someone going on some ideas. I used the ACI lip to go off of to get you guys started. I know somone has to come up with something we can mostly agree on

ACI lip



Here is is again, but I made the center more filled in and the openings wider



And again, kept it same in the middle just opened it up

If you have to ask what to build? then dont.

If your going to make one to replace the front air dam, I think it's got to be made out of Urethane otherwise if made out of fiberglas the thing will be broken within the fisrt 100 miles of driving. That goes for Carbon Fiber as well. GM made the air dam oy of Urethane cause they knew it was going to be scraped and dragged across concrete from time to time and even made a note of it in the owners manual, stating that it was normal for the plastic air dam to scrape in some parking lots ?

And what about the center section ? Without that piece the engines cooling capacity is going to be compromised to the point that a lot of engine tempertures are going to be a lot higher than normal. And late model Corvettes have a tough time running with normal tempertures in the summer as it is.

As mentioned previously, the ACI spoiler is fine, just a tad tall. Here it is as currently sold:



and here it is shortened, with the center support removed (although it could stay):

I like the one on the Torch Red. It is really aggressive looking and the cutout for the air flow is nice. I would like to know who mades it. I would not want to have to mount the two supports/adjustment points that are on the Mag Red.

I realize that the lower front facial will require some work to get that opening, but if you want aggressive, that is it.

Nice c5vetteguy!!

I like it. Simple.

Shortened ACI gets my vote!!

C5vetteguy and Michael work so good together This is money.. I'm down for that as a front fascia that is one piece will look even better as it can be more seamless, yeah?!

Or you could put a chin like C5vetteguys rendition on something like this! Please feel free to doodle C5VG!



As is with C5VG's chin maybe insert some factory type inlets? I dunno...

Here is Kevin Dixon's ACP front... I don't think it's their usual line? I need to ask him if he requested it custom shorter? I LOVE it though.. notice how it's similar to C5VG's photochop?! Hawtness

I'm respectfully not going to touch that silver car as it has lost a lot of the C5's style already. I could put it back, but then we'd basically be starting with a stock bumper anyway. As much as I'm all for seamless integration, and I do like the ACP overlay spoiler (except for the overlay part), I don't think we need to reinvent the whole front fascia. Tigershark has done that nicely, if you want something different from the original C5 design.

I, personally, am interested in a short addition to the stock front fascia. Again, ACI did a fine job with their style, and with no other options available, I'd buy one of theirs and shorten it to look like the mock-up I did above. Clean and simple, attached from underneath, no extra seams or overlap, no extra vents or scoops. There's not a lot of real estate involved, so prepping and painting would be minimal, particularly compared to a full fascia. Priced at $299, I'd buy one in a Heartbeat.

it's not even a lip...it's a flat piece of carbon fiber bolted to the bottom...I could make that one out of plywood and it would look the same

Another twist off of yours

rdline

That shortened one looks great , something in that line would be a winner

FLYNAVY30

BINGO!!!! Id buy a shorter ACI spoiler!

I think Pete is right on target getting ideas, if more companies did the research Petes doing, you wouldnt see so much lame crap out there.....

I have one on my car, they are not cheap, and they look great up close, real carbon fiber. Torchfrc on here makes them at his shop.
