Low profile spoiler and front splitter

Burning Brakes
I did essentially the same thing to my non-Z51 HTC. The only difference is I added the OEM front splitter instead of one painted in carbon flash. I have the OEM side rockers from the factory and thought the splitter looked better matched.
I’m very happy with the look the low profile spoiler Chevy sells for the Non-Z51 Stingray gives to the rear end of the car. Plus it was a piece of cake to install.

The carbon flash one from Extreme Online store is $130.00
The GM version is about $500.00
Pretty big price difference so if it’s close to being the same all around, I would go for the less expensive version.

What you really want to know is approach angle, not ground clearance. Here's a list I compiled:
Here's a list of approach angles I've compiled:
Base / no E60: 11.8 degrees
Base with E60: 14.2
Z51 / no E60: 9.8
Z51 with E60: 11.1
Z06 / no E60: 9.2
Z06 with E60: 11.1
C6 ZR1 (stock): 8.8 I throw this in for reference as on my steep driveway, I had to completely remove the front splitter to get the car in/out. My C8 Stingray with front splitter would just barely scrape without raising with front lift, and completely cleared when raised. My Z06 also clears when raised with front lift (although it's closer so I haven't tried without raising).

This is great info!!! I was a little concerned about clearance when ordering my base C8 without front lift, but I took the chance. My car should be here in a few weeks. I used to own a C6 ZR1 and never had any problems, so now I’m confident I did the right thing and saved the money I would’ve spent on the front lift. Thanks, @EvanZR1

Do you they offer any color other than RED? Red Mist compares greatly with C7's DSOM!! The only color I would choose when buying a car..even daily drivers. I Have RED MIST it on my 24' C8 Z51! and absolutely love it ..even more in the bright sun!

Hello,
I'm closing on a 2024 C8 HTC non-Z51, and it does not have a spoiler. I want to add a spoiler, but I'm concerned about having to remove the bumper to complete the installation. This spoiler doesn't require removing the bumper?
