Review of Cheapo Splitter

I wanted to try out a splitter on the LT1 without spending all kinds of dough (as I may just yank it off, if I don’t like the scraping etc.) A decent and relatively low cost brand, with solid reviews, is typically ~$250. After a bit of a search, I ended up buying a 3 piece design off EBay , for $85 (including tax and shipping). It arrived from Cali today and took a week via Fed Ex.The splitter was well protected, and looked exactly as I expected it to. The matte finish looked really good.

As I began to assemble it, I found that the outermost screws of the center section, created small divets …2 screws, 2 divets). No instruction came with the product, but this was 100% preventable if I didn’t snug those screws so tight.

I decided to do a quick paint of the splitter to make it satin black (to match the hood vent and wrap on the spoiler. That slight sheen on the splitter exposed 2 very small ABS imperfections, at either corner. Not a big deal…you really need to look to see them, but they’re there.

Next up, fitment… It’s really good, nearly factory fit. Just a small gap on the upper passenger side of the splitter. Everything else is perfect. Pretty surprising.

I added no extra screws (none of the supplied) and no double sided tape (which I will do and buy, as they don’t provide it).

All in it will cost $95 (need double sided tape) Looks and fits much better than expected, for just a test mule.
