Hey everyone! I finally took the plunge and picked up a Z06, and while the factory lines are already aggressive, I’m looking to give it a bit more of a custom edge. I’ve been browsing different options but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by all the choices out there. I’m particularly interested in high-quality carbon fiber pieces—maybe a more pronounced front splitter or some sleek side skirts to really ground the car. I’m also debating whether a stage 3 spoiler upgrade is worth the look versus a clean wing. I want to keep it looking classy but mean. For those of you who’ve modded yours, which exterior upgrades do you think offer the biggest visual impact?
Seconding the recommendation above! Saw this earlier... over the years I've tried cheap pieces that yellow in the sun, so I think these are better:
1. Grab Anderson Composites Carbon Fiber Rocker Panels cuz the fitment is basically perfect.
2. Try the C7 Carbon Extended Front Splitter for a mean look without dealer markups.
Basically, buy quality once so u dont buy it twice, ngl! 👍

Similar situation here—I went through this exact same process last year. I actually spent way too much time obsessing over weave patterns and UV protection ratings. I initially looked at the Stage 3 wickerbill, but honestly, I found the rear visibility hit and the extra drag a bit much for daily driving.
I ended up going with ACS Composite Carbon Flash Side Skirts because they match the factory trim perfectly and seem way more durable against rock chips than some of the raw carbon options I looked at. For the front, I went with the C7 Carbon Front Splitter because it gave me that aggressive extension without being so low that I’d rip it off on every driveway. It's basically a balance between looking MEAN and being functional, you know? Just be careful with fitment on cheaper kits, cuz gaps can really ruin the look of a Z06!!
I went through this last year and honestly... it was kinda a nightmare. I tried cheap carbon and the fitment was so bad it felt unsafe at high speeds. Not as good as expected!! I finally felt safer after adding the ACS Composite Z06 Undertray for stability. Maybe check out ACS Composite XL Front Rock Guards too? They save your paint from rocks and look mean. Just be careful with mounting... safety first!!
I'd suggest the APR Performance Carbon Fiber Front Splitter and matching skirts. Tbh, the GM Stage 3 Spoiler Upgrade gives that mean, grounded look without the wing's extra drag and cost!
