Default Front Carbon Fiber Splitter Options?

I hit a wolf a few days ago and thought I would upgrade since the insurance is going to be paying part of it anyway.

What are the best options for a front carbon fiber or after market splitter for a decent price (Not looking to spend over $500 new)?

Also the appraiser said the stock splitter is about $250, does that sound about right?

Check GM Parts House for a replacement price. There are a whole bunch of different options, you can get someting for $500. The search button is your friend.

You'll have a hard time finding real CF for $500 IMO. The factory GM ZR1 splitter is around $2K!! Check with Josh at RPI. His stuff is real CF and great quality.

Stock splitter for $250 could be fair. But its not the CF unit and won't be the ZR1 style.

I think Katech sells a CF splitter for $599~ and a FG splitter for $369.

I've had the C7 Carbon front ZR1 splitter on since last July. No issues, looks great!
