What are the available front splitter options for a Chevrolet Corvette C7?

The C7 Corvette has a massive aftermarket for aerodynamics, so your front splitter options range from budget-friendly factory replacements to high-end, track-focused carbon fiber setups.

In the C7 community, aero is generally broken down into "Stages" mimicking the factory Z06/Grand Sport packages: Stage 1 is the basic flat splitter (often called the "poverty splitter"), Stage 2 adds small winglets, and Stage 3 uses large, aggressive winglets and sometimes an undertray.

Here is a breakdown of the most popular options available for the C7 platform:

OEM / Factory Replacements

• GM "Poverty" Splitter: If you just want a cheap, disposable replacement for a scraped-up front end, the factory matte ABS Stage 1 Z06 splitter (GM Part #22922352) is very inexpensive ⁸.
• GM Stage 3 Winglets: If you already have a Stage 2 setup and want to upgrade, you can buy the OEM Z06/GS Stage 3 extensions (GM Part #23184895) painted in Carbon Flash ³.

Popular Aftermarket Brands

• ACS Composite: Highly recommended for fit and finish. They offer Stage 2 and Stage 3 splitters, as well as a ZR1-style option. For track use, their Stage 3 splitter can be paired with an undertray that increases air velocity under the car, adding noticeable downforce in high-speed sweepers ⁷.
• C7 Carbon: Another very popular choice. They offer standard Stage 2 splitters ⁴ as well as their "GTX" splitter, which is designed to balance the smooth lines of the Stage 1 with the aggressiveness of the Stage 2 ¹⁰.
• Extreme Online Store (EOS): A solid budget-friendly option. They offer Stage 2 and Stingray/Z51 performance splitters in both ABS plastic and carbon fiber ¹³.
• RPI Designs: They manufacture and sell a wide variety of splitters, including Stage 1, Stage 2, and Z06 chin splitters in various finishes. They also distribute carbon fiber pieces from Anderson Composites and Trufiber ⁹.
• Southern Car Parts (SCP): They sell several Z06-style replica splitters, including a Stage 3 "Track Pack" and a carbon fiber Z06-style splitter with optional flat black wheel deflectors ¹².

Track-Focused & Specialty Options

• APR Performance: Known for very high build quality that exceeds OEM standards. A major benefit of the APR splitter is that it features replaceable wear plates on the bottom to protect the carbon fiber from scraping ⁸.
• LG Motorsports: Offers a true carbon fiber, clear-coated front splitter that won a SEMA design award ¹.
• ACC: If you want something totally different, ACC makes a GM-licensed splitter constructed from 304 stainless steel with a real carbon/fiberglass overlay and "Stingray" lettering ⁵.
• DefenderWorx: Sells an unpainted front splitter specifically designed to be color-matched to your car's body paint ⁶.

Installation Notes

Difficulty: Easy

Swapping a splitter on the C7 is a straightforward driveway job. The general procedure involves removing the factory screws, drilling out the factory rivets, and pulling the old splitter off. The new splitter will typically mount using the existing factory bolt holes and a fresh set of rivets ⁷. Just make sure the front of the car is safely supported on jack stands or ramps before you get underneath.
