Default C7 Carbon - Anyone have experience with these products?

Looking for real-world feedback on the following two items. Not necessarily stuck on Carbon Fiber much as I am a product that has a no-nonsense proper fitment and works as advertised.

Disclaimer: I like the look of the ZR-1 Style Splitter, but wish there was one available with the two front brake duct openings removed. I like the complete flush mounted look, no openings, but havent found any in this ZR-1 style design.

Just installed the Carbon C7 splitter on my GS and was pleasantly surprised with quality and also the fit. Also went with the fiberglass version instead of the carbon fiber, cant beat the price. Still debating on the side skirts but if they fit like the front splitter you shouldnt be disappointed.

Thank you for your feedback. Any photos of the splitter on your Vette? Did the splitter have the undertray like LG Motorsports and APR has?

crap!! i bought the full zr1 body kit in fiberglass . the kit needed so much rework it was awful. front spliter is very wavey holes do not line up. side skirts need rework you can see all the mesh lines in it and not smooth and straight it is not worth the savings over o.e.m. . never again!

And that was my very concern when i ordered mine because of all the bad reviews i had seen earlier. For whatever reason I can just say mine fits like oem and was in good shape with very little prep work required. Maybe they fixed theyre quality control issues since then i have no idea, but for the price i was willing to take that chance.

Nope, came within a week well packaged and intact. Trust me I hear where your coming from, I read all the horror stories. And had they not been running a sale on it at the time i probably would have opted for another manufacturer.

Heres my ZR1 side skirts and front splitter that ill be installing soon!

Took about 6 weeks for me to get what I ordered. They still owe me a set of carbon fiber mudflaps to go with the sideskirts. I talked to them today and he said they will ship out friday.

The pieces look really nice and quality seems top notch. I'll be sure to update on how fitment is.
