Sorry for the late reply.
updated new pictures with the current concept
So this new splitter will go all the way back in the opening from the top so you wont see any of your OEM bumper.. Just the Carbon Fiber.
Also the splitter will wrap around the backside of the bumper to help attach inside the fender area.

i really like the look of this one, if it wasn't a half bumper and was just like a splitter like those others you recently came out with i think that would be really sweet, just my opinion though

We are going to add in some more flare into the side of the half bumper so that it acts as a front mud flap like the new C7 z06.. Should be pretty cool

Looking good so far. Can't wait to see what the final product will look like. If I may make a suggestion. Round out the center vent a bit to compliment the existing round curves on the car. The straight lines and angular design somewhat clash with the rest of the car's appearance.
Just an opinion.

Talked to Ryan and if there is enough interest on this idea then they would make this add on as well. After seeing the new 2015 C7 Z06 I really liked the styling they came up with for the side skirts. I thought this cut back style would look really good on the C5 and C6 vettes. Would be another option beside the ZR1 and ACI styles that are widely used. What do you think?
Every bolt on non functioning piece ever has been made. I challenge someone to make functioning pieces that also look nice. I never found anything for a real splitter other than a 3000$ bumper or from acp, so I made my own.
I still look for someone to make a c5r type diffuser. But with that, you will need a flat bottom, thus requiring diff and possible trans coolers

This is about as close as you'll get with function and good looks rapped up in one package. I have to disagree on the C7 style sideskirts for the C5. IMO they would flow very nice with the lines of the car.
