Splitter is always easy to pick out. The skirts and the piece around the diffuser are pretty subtle being color-matched.
Yes, I agree. Although, when it was sitting next to another Red Hot Camaro without the ground effects, you could definitely tell. Looks 100% better IMO.

It's all about the look you're going for. For me, I opted to leave my skirts and splitter unpainted, partly for the same reason. While the black of the ground effects clearly is set off from the white of the car, the more satin finish to them makes them more subtle. If I had a 2018 with the glossier diffuser, I would probably have opted to get them painted to match instead.

Agreed. I wasn't saying that being painted is better. I was saying having them is a better look than not having them no matter color-matched or the black/satin black. Sorry! I should've been more clear.

Peace & Progress

That's what I was trying to say, too... lol

Everyone has their own things that they do and don't like, so there will be different directions to go in. Each person has to make their own decision based on the look they're going for.

Ikon makes pretty good items. I have their splitter and it seems to be a clone of the OEM 1LE from the 16-18. I also have their rear diffuser. I also seems to be a clone of the OEM with the diffusers built in. It fit great, finish was nice, but if you plan on removing the entire bumper its probably easier than those clips! If you do decide on a diffuser, now would be the time to swap in the rear reflectors if thats in your plan. Their 1LE blade wing covers up the holes from the SS spoiler.

EOS, I have their sideskirts. They're plastic. The ends do not have caps so they look a little out of place at the ends. Mine will soon be replaced with an alternative.

American Authority.. I bought their front splitter originally, but it didnt last very long. It was very thin plastic. Their 50th/SEMA grill is nice. Its very close if not a clone of the original. Everything seems to be thin abs plastic. I like the grill, but I do not recommend the splitter.

Mine are closed on the ends. It's possible that this difference exists between their "2016-2018" versus "2019 and up" versions.

I love the OEM 2nd gen kit, ordered with my car in carbon flash, here's a couple of shots, including how it surrounds the tailpipes

I'm glad you posted on this thread as I had forgotten about it... I looked closely at mine and found that the rear of the skirt is actually -not- closed. It isn't a very large gap between the pieces, though, and I suspect that's why I didn't remember it being open.
