$300ish..maybe this is kind of close?

Yeah, your best bet is ACS Composite. Here's their website:

http://www.acscomposite.com/

As far as I've found, and everything on my Camaro is ACS, if you go with GM you're going to pay a boat load. If you go with Duraflex, the cheap stuff, assuming the splitter even fits and it probably won't, it'll take a ton of prep work to make it look right or paint-ready. ACS is right in the middle as far price goes but the quality is good. The finish is good so you can bolt it right on or paint it and it comes with all the hardware you need for install. Again, everything on my car: splitter, rockers, and rears - are ACS. I've had no problems with it, I like the look, and the price is right...

What does the grey primer look like on those ? I really don't want to spend another 200 on it . Or could there possibly be a cheaper way to get it black such as plastidip etc

The standard SS is a better choice for the strip anyway. IMO 1LEs are slower than SSes for a number of reasons. And if you want better handling the 1LE suspension is available. The only advantage the 1LE has for drag racing is the transmission is beefier.

Most of the GM add-on parts are overpriced. The 1LE/ZL1 wheel replicas are reasonable, but you can also get Z/28 replicas. Of course Plastidip is even cheaper.

Plastidip FTW!

Here is a little hint for you..

Call Maureen at Rodgers Chevrolet. She will save you a bunch of money and be sure you get the correct splitter. I just went through the same scenario you originally posted and my splitter is on the way to me now. It did not cost $700.... Good Luck. Maureen is the best and she knows her stuff.

+1, Maureen is amazing and very responsive. Got my side rockers from her painted and shipped for an amazing price. Much lower than anywhere else.

I assume you mean you don't want to spend another 200 for paint. It sounds like you're not going to do the install. I had the same shop that did the install do the paint as well and it was cheaper. See if you can find a shop near by that does both. I don't know about plastidip, I don't have any experience with it. Let us know what you do though...

I like this one better than the OEM one on the 1LE.

They will actually let you purchase those parts? My dealership told me "you can only get parts that are for your specific trim/model". They wouldn't sell me a ZL1 rear diffuser lol!

I was under the impression that the "trim restriction" rules only applied to the Z/28. Heck, GM promotes 1LE handling kits for standard SS cars.

What do you guys think of the street scene stillen splitter

jcsuddre · 02-17-2015, 01:25 AM

I decided to get the acs t4 splitter I will post pictures when I get it . I would of bought performance parts instead however there isn't a whole lot of stuff besides the cold air intake that I can do now that won't void warranty .

The following won't void warranty

:

- Ported Throttle Body
- Oil Catch Can
- Throttle Controller

Haha my dealership quoted me $900 for the 1LE splitter! They crazy try the exterior vendor marketplace you'll find a better deal.

jcsuddre · 02-26-2015, 05:24 PM

unfortunately due to the snow and bad weather we have been getting hammered with i was only able to snap 2 decent pics and it doesnt help that my road is so muddy right now . The second pic i had to spray off the mud lol

I did plastidip it before having it installed.
