Default Aero/Splitter Options for C6 Coupe (non Z06)?

Looking for functional front splitter/aero options for C6 Coupe (non Z06). I contacted ACP but they have nothing. What are you using? Thanks

ACP has a complete nose that would work. Regardless, the Z06 style is a good way to go, either with the ZR1 splitter or aftermarket. I don't know of any non-Z06 style products.

I believe to use the ACP nose I would need to change the front 1/4 panels as well. I'm hoping for other options.

We have been very happy with APR's products. They look good, fit good and they have good options. Give me a call and I can make sure you get a good package!

if it's race only, you can make something up out of aluminum. Not beautiful, but could be nice with some paint and TLC.

We used a modified Nascar Cup splitter on our C6 tube frame car. It does use the stock nose. We used aluminum to pan behind the splitter.

The cup splitters are made of TEGRIS. I paid about 75 bucks delivered.

Thanks. Can you share where I may look for a used splitter? I checked Racecarjunk without success.

My contact in Nascar country is John Josey 813 727 5990.

John lives in the Charlotte area, but is in Florida at the moment.

John says he has three cup splitters on hand and may get more.

I have bought many parts from him over the past couple years.

David, when I called the company that makes tegris a couple of years ago, a sheet of it was REALLY expensive. The way we have done it with the splitter and alum. will work fine.

Not at the moment, but I'll try to get one soon.
