Hi All,

Sorry if I suck at researching existing threads, but I just got into a bit of a fender bender (or perhaps I should say splitter breaker) with my 2018 2SS 1LE.

Filed a claim with my insurance since it was a hit and run and I had damage to a wheel, etc. Long story short, shop cannot find the splitter (GM 84116157 or GM 84116158) and they are coming back with it being discontinued

I am at the point where the car is going to be returned to me with a credit and no splitter.... Does anyone have any leads on a OEM splitter source or what GM could have designated as the new PN? I read somewhere that GM makes spare parts for 7 years. I don't understand how there are no OEM replacement parts anywhere....

Can the GM 84116168 be used??

Many thanks in advance!

Not sure but if you can't find it get one used on ebay, plenty of crashed cars out there getting parted out.

I used the 2nd gen splitter from ACS when I replaced mine https://acscomposite.com/products/1le-splitter-20

I went ACS when I broke my splitter at autox. Not the cheapest but they are very durable and will not break as easy as OEM

You wouldn't want to replace the original OEM splitter with another one even if it was available. It is badly designed with thin plastic that cracks easily.

I have the newer style Ikon splitter that's a reproduction of OEM just without the flat bottom, and in 3 pieces (like on the C8 Corvette) presumably to reduce shipping cost. I consider them consumables on this car so idk if it is worth paying extra for an expensive brand like ACS when both brands are made of ABS plastic.

The Ikon has held up ok for me after lots of track days with just some slightly visible scraping (if you're within a few feet) on parts of the bottom front edge which actually might have been caused by street driving rather than track driving. It mounts with just the stock bolts and provided self tapping phillips head screws which is much faster/easier than the 3M adhesive strip used on the original splitter that came on my car. The Ikon splitter has stayed in place at almost 150mph on track. I did remove the one remaining small bottom plastic edge cap piece after the other one fell off while driving on the street shortly after I installed the splitter. It looks the same with and without those pieces.

If you prefer the original look, this one looks like a reproduction but I don't have personal experience with it: https://www.americanmuscle.com/camar...5_Var4=CC11058

I did have the Ikon original look reproduction splitter (no longer made/sold) on my car for several years and it looked identical to the original one but the plastic was thicker.

These also look like they might be reproductions of the original splitter or at least a similar design:

Thanks cdrptrks (and everyone else), that American muscle one looks very promising. I actually went through my insurance this time because I jacked my wheel and needed an alignment, etc. Their parts department keeps asking ME for sources since they cant find it. I had initially sent them a couple of the ones in this thread (all OEM) but they got their orders cancelled due to no inventory. You all are right though, I was trying too hard to keep the OEM look, but venturing out to a cheaper aftermarket one may be the right approach here. I had broken and repaired before twice, the OEMs ARE crap in terms of quality and durability

Ugh, should have bought one a couple years back.

Will the newer style (19+) work on the 17-18 models?

Perhaps available in different color - that can be repainted ?

Yikes. Someone just bought a 2018 that I was watching. The splitter was damaged pretty good.
