ZR1 Carbon Front Splitters, OEM vs Aftermarket?
I’m trying to find out what aftermarket ZR1 Splitters comes close to matching the factory OEM units? I’m seeing Extreme Online, RPI and a whole lot of others. So which clone comes closest to a factory OEM unit? Let me hear your recommendations? Thanks

The best one I have seen, is the carbon fiber one from Callaway Cars. It's neat, as the high center section makes it less likely to drag on driveways or stab the entrance ramps of driveways. I know this from having this and not having such issues. It's a well-made deal.

If you want to match OEM, then C7 Carbon or Extreme Online Store are your options. Stay away from RPI (i.e. Southern Car Parts & Parts For Your Car).

I second what Jabcat said. I have bought the front splitter and side skirts from C7 carbon and they are absolute quality for a fraction of the price.

I hear you, but remember, it’s a class a part, perfect, especially compared to what else is out there in the aftermarket. The only thing more expensive of course, is the cost of regrets. If you buy the wrong part or it’s junk, then you’re buying parts twice. Sometimes they have a sale, 10 to 15% off. You might wanna call them and ask them about that, or maybe they would do a group purchase if you can get more people to buy something, I don’t know. I hope this helps, and just sharing my experiences

Thanks for all your replies.
So my question now is sounds like between the two C7 Carbon vs Extreme Online are the ones matching the OEM which one comes closest to the OEM product. I’m talking about the weave patterns matching and the finish.

Has anyone actually compared all these aftermarket splitters to see which one does come close to the factory OEM unit. I understand that some of you are using the aftermarket’s but I’m looking for a replacement for my factory unit that comes with a close matching the quality and the weave pattern.
