Small small dent but noticeable!!!

On my ZlE front splitter I have a VERY SMALL DENT front bumping something. Is it worth buying a whole new damn splitter or seeing if this can be fixed. I’m not sure if it even can be! If not where can I get a set of canards/splitter in carbon fiber.

If I'm not mistaken, Will (Z1lla) has videos on his website of him replacing all his lower skits parts with Carbon fiber. I think he users wild hammer motorsports

It's a consumable.

I would just buy another one and keep this one on till it gets noticeable damage.

If its really bothering you, just replace it but I wouldn't throw out the cosmetic damaged one..

I feel your pain. No offense (don't you love when someone starts a comment off by saying that?...), but I'm just as bad. The CF replacements sound like a win-win though. They should go well with your spoiler (extruder, if it's exposed, too).

Thank you And yes... a number of places offer both the OEM and aftermarket variations of the splitter, ie, like the carbon fiber one I switched to. The OEM one is decently priced and not super hard to replace and can be done without pulling the bumper though in my videos I pulled the bumper as I went from zl1 front to zl1 1le front which means I had to swap the lower grill which does require bumper coming off.



Can give you an idea of what all is involved and what it looks like a little cleared versus poking head under the car

The splitter is plastic so I'm not sure how someone would even be able to repair it... can't do like PDR or anything like that on plastic. Maybe heat and somehow carefully reform it... most likely cost more than a new splitter, lol.

Here is the splitter over on GMPartsGiant: https://www.gmpartsgiant.com/parts/g...FK1R69M0122176 $161... or order it through dealer and save on shipping
