APR Splitter

Anyone running an APR splitter on their ZL1? If so, was there a noticeable difference on the track with front grip?

It does not appear the ZL1 has exposed support rods. Is the installation sturdy? I'm guessing the rods or support brackets are behind the bumper cover?

Can the belly pan still be removed easily enough for oil changes?

No difference, no need for support rods and still access the belly pan for oil changes.

Sam...do you road course? I'm looking for front downforce. I assume the splitter adds to this? Thoughts?

I have it on mine and love it. They do include the tie-rods in the kit however I did not install them. You can actually feel the difference at higher speeds in comparison to stock actually. It is a noticeable difference. And the looks of it makes the front of our cars complete I feel and more aggressive. I will take some pics later today and post up.

Honestly I had to replace the lower part on the ZL1 front bumper anyway(can't remember the exact name of the lower part of our bumpers) cause of the dealership I bought it from new looked like one of the drivers or salesmen hit a curb so hard it flatted and creased. So I had to replace that anyway. Honestly with the bumper off its easy. Just mark the holes and install.
