Default carbon fiber lower rear valance?
A couple of months ago there was a post showing a ZR1 on a lift changing front suspension bushings I believe....The car had a carbon fiber rear valance installed on it (the lower part of the rear bumper that holds the back up lights)....I was wondering if any one knew the vender of that piece? Any help would surely be apreciated....

Breathless Performance has two styles, but sadly, not Carbon Fiber.

What the OP is talking about is the OEM rear valance in carbon fiber. Here is what he is talking about.

Is it the same piece and quality? Big discrepancy between $600 and $2500.

A forum vendor, Quik Z06, is coming out with one in a couple weeks. Will be around $400 in carbon fiber. It's an OEM look piece in real carbon like the WCC part in the pic above.

Does that fit a ZR1? It seems to indicate on the websites that it installs on a C6/z06. Just curious as I thought the side panels on the ZR1 are suppose to stick out a little further to accomodate the wider tires?

The Z06 and ZR1 have the same rear bumper and rear quarter panels. The width of both is 75.9". The Z06 rear tires are 325 and the ZR1's are 335. Not enough to have a different quarter panel.
