I can't wait to get these new ZL1 rockers and GM front splitter installed..... just waiting on the missing bracket for the splitter. (can't install it without the bracket.)

I need input too... The front splitter is painted black, but the lower parts of the ZL1 rockers are matte black (stock color)... should I have the splitter re-painted matte black, sell it and get another one that's unpainted, or paint the lower portions of the ZL1 rockers gloss black (like the splitter)?

Mounting bracket arrived today for the splitter... time to figure out what to do about the paint. :/

If...(haha) you asked me,,i would say do the rockers matte black..for main reason a maintenance thing...cleanliness, small chips won't show as easy, and the black will go with front end also..some black highlights ...JMHO..

The issue is gloss vs matte. The rockers are already matte black... splitter is gloss black

FNG · 02-19-2014, 02:27 PM

Didn't like the gloss black look on the front splitter, so I decided to have it painted to match the ZL1 rockers..... "satin black". I'm EXTREMELY happy that I did!

ZL1 rockers and front splitter installed:
