Front Splitter Removal
Does anyone know if i can remove the ZL1 1LE front Splitter with the bumper on the car? When I did the conversion, i had the bumper off but i think the front lower splitter clips can all be reached and removed as long as I removed all the lower trays. Is that correct?
Today while having fun in the mountains, a huge rock hit my splitter. Fortunately, it didn't break it but it damaged my PPF and the gloss paint. So need to redo paint and PPF but I seriously do not want to have to remove the bumper.

I removed and replaced the splitter on my 18 ZL1 without removing the bumper. I don't believe it would be different on the ZLE.

The ZLE splitter has push tabs under the lower grille. I know the side clips i can get to it. I am not too sure about the middle ones. I guess I'll find out soon

Almost positive the ZL1 has the same plastic push connectors. It wasn't fun but I think you can get it off without taking off the bumper.

1. peel back the fender liners
2. remove the 3 bolts on winglets each side remove the push tabs on each winglet from the inside by going through the fender liner (push in safety tab then slide up or down depending on which direction its installed) 3. remove the hard plastic pan under the car 10mm bolts and 1 push pin now remove the jillion 7mm headed bolts that hold the fabric material to the splitter and the 3 piece wind diverters. there's a chance you may have to drill out the 1 rivet in the center diverter some are push pin style some aren't. Now fold down the fabric material to gain access to the same 2 clips found on each of the winglets. I was the 1st to install this aero kit I've done it at least 3 or 4 times for local people. https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=508925 on your 1st attempt it maybe easier to remove the bumper if so see lethal garage's video its an ss but its the same except the splitter which I lined out.

I have the rock problems even with xpel or ceramic clear bra that can't stop all rocks from cracking my carbon fiber splitter.
