Correct...Fitment was perfect, two of the holes meant for the push pins needed to be enlarged due to the push pins being wider than original size from removing them and the reverse tension.

I’ve had the apsis splitter on my car since September. Very happy with the fit and finish. Did have to get one longer bolt but was easily addressed by quick trip to hardware store.

Nope just a bunch of underbody panels. It installs exactly where the factory piece comes off.

Would this worry you?

Bolts too recessed for supplied hardware to work. I contacted him and his solution was go buy longer bolts. Not “I’ll send longer bolts” which is what is expected from a 2K purchase.

This is the template for the dive planes. An envelope cut up all the same size . No way to properly orient the dive planes you have to just wing it.
From buying carbon parts over the years for various cars I've come to the realization that they are a complete waste of time and money. They NEVER EVER fit as well as stock and almost always require holes to be opened up and/or new holes drilled. OEM parts HAVE to all be the same for production lines to work, they carbon parts don't. I've also noticed that unless you are spending HUGE money, you are going to be getting a fiberglas layup with a single layer of carbon fiber on the surface to give you "the look". As far as performance and weight savings however, it just isn't there. I steer clear of aftermarket carbon now, all the ill fitment and modification required for minimal to no weight reduction just isn't worth it, especially for a primarily street driven car.

I see in the other thread someone is DYING to cut up their brand new non Z07 car to install a Z07 spoiler or aftermarket spoiler I just don't get it. All it is is a fantastic way to hurt the value of the car. I get that people like the look and possibly rear bite improvements from a rear spoiler, but your better off finding a Z07 than piecing something together to prove to the world it can be done.

I installed the Apsis front splitter with dive planes. The quality of the carbon flash piece was certainly adequate; however, no customer support, no hardware, and no templates. I found them extremely hard to work with on customer service of any sort.
I installed the Sigala 07 wing in carbon flash. Customer service and honesty were remarkable in spite of them suffering through the San Diego flooding. Alex, Sigala was extremely reachable and prompt with any questions or issues.
