Product Overview
Upgrade the front-end styling and aerodynamic profile of your 2023-Present Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 and E-Ray with this Z07 Style Dry Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber 3-Piece Front Bumper Lip Splitter with No-Drill Side Canards. Designed specifically for the widebody C8 platform, this complete front aero package delivers a more aggressive Z07-inspired appearance while replacing standard front-end trim with authentic dry carbon fiber components.
Compatibility: Fits 2023-Present Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 and 2024-Present Corvette C8 E-Ray Coupe and Convertible models. Designed for widebody C8 applications only. Does not fit standard Corvette C8 Stingray or Z51 models.
The front splitter is manufactured from dry pre-preg carbon fiber, using a lightweight composite construction designed to provide high structural rigidity while maintaining a thin, performance-oriented profile. The visible carbon fiber surface features a 3K twill weave pattern finished beneath a high-gloss clear coat, creating the deep carbon appearance commonly associated with high-end motorsport and exotic vehicle components.
The modular 3-piece front splitter design follows the factory contours of the C8 Z06 and E-Ray front bumper and underbody area. Its multi-piece construction allows the center and side sections to align closely with the widebody front fascia while creating the extended lower edge associated with the Corvette Z07 Performance Package.
Included with the splitter is a matching pair of Z07-style front bumper canards, also known as dive planes. These side aerodynamic pieces extend from the outer front bumper area to create a more track-focused appearance and complete the Z07-style front-end conversion.
Unlike traditional aftermarket canards that may require drilling into painted bumper panels, these canards use a no-drill mounting design intended to work with the splitter assembly and existing factory mounting locations. This helps preserve the original bumper surface while providing a cleaner installation method.
The front aero kit is designed to visually lower and widen the front of the Corvette, emphasizing the factory widebody proportions of the Z06 and E-Ray. The combination of the extended splitter, side sections, and canards creates a more aggressive track-inspired appearance when viewed from the front, side, or three-quarter angle.
For Corvette owners already running other exterior carbon fiber components, the 3K twill carbon pattern and gloss finish also help create a coordinated appearance with carbon fiber side skirts, rear diffusers, spoilers, wings, intake trim, and other C8 exterior upgrades.
This package includes the complete 3-piece splitter, left and right side canards, and installation hardware, providing the major components required for the front-end conversion in one kit.
Fitment Note: Designed specifically for Corvette C8 Z06 and E-Ray widebody models. Does not fit standard C8 Stingray or Stingray Z51 models.

Improved Front-End Visual Balance:
Adds additional depth to the lower bumper area, helping visually connect the wide front fenders, side intakes, and lower body lines of the C8 Z06 and E-Ray.
Ideal for Complete Carbon Fiber Exterior Builds:
Pairs well with aftermarket carbon fiber side skirts, rocker panels, rear diffusers, wings, spoilers, engine bay trim, mirror covers, and other Corvette C8 carbon fiber accessories.
Coupe and Convertible Compatible:
Designed for applicable Z06 and E-Ray Coupe and Convertible body styles.
Does Not Fit C8 Stingray or Z51:
This kit is made for the widebody Z06 and E-Ray front bumper and is not compatible with standard C8 Stingray or Stingray Z51 models.
Complete Front Aero Package:
Package includes:
- 1 x Z07 Style 3-Piece Front Bumper Lip Splitter
- 1 x Pair of No-Drill Front Side Bumper Canards
- 1 x Bag of Installation Hardware
Installation
This front splitter and canard package is designed for direct bolt-on installation on compatible Corvette C8 Z06 and E-Ray models.
The 3-piece splitter installs along the lower portion of the factory front bumper and underbody area using the appropriate factory mounting locations together with the supplied hardware.
The side canards are designed to integrate with the splitter assembly and compatible OEM mounting points, allowing installation without drilling additional mounting holes into the painted front bumper panels.
Before final tightening, all three splitter sections should be loosely positioned and aligned to ensure consistent spacing along the lower bumper edge. Once proper alignment has been confirmed, the supplied hardware can be tightened securely.
The included double-sided tape may be used where applicable to assist with positioning and securing specific components during installation. Surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned and completely dry before applying adhesive tape.
Installation Manual: Not Included
Installation Type: Direct Bolt-On
Professional Installation: Recommended
Because proper panel alignment is important for both appearance and secure mounting, professional installation is recommended, especially when installing the splitter and canards together as a complete aero package.
Vehicle Compatibility
Fitment Note: Designed specifically for Corvette C8 Z06 and E-Ray widebody models. Does not fit standard C8 Stingray or Stingray Z51 models.

About Dry Carbon
Dry Carbon Fiber vs Wet Carbon Fiber — What’s the Difference?
Not all carbon fiber parts are made the same. The biggest distinction comes down to how the carbon is processed — commonly known as dry carbon and wet carbon. Both use genuine carbon fiber weave, but the production method, finish, and performance are completely different.
Manufacturing Process
Dry carbon fiber parts are produced using a pre-preg (pre-impregnated) carbon cloth, where the exact amount of resin is pre-applied by the manufacturer. These sheets are then vacuum-sealed and cured under high pressure and temperature in an autoclave, removing excess air and resin.
The result is a light, extremely strong, and precisely formed component — the same process used in motorsport and aerospace applications.
Wet carbon fiber, on the other hand, uses a hand-lay or wet-lay method. The carbon cloth is laid into a mold and liquid resin is manually brushed or poured over it before curing. Because it’s not vacuum-bagged or autoclave-cured, there’s usually more trapped resin and air pockets, leading to a heavier part and a less uniform finish.
Weight & Strength
Dry carbon fiber is roughly 30–50% lighter than wet carbon. This is due to the controlled resin ratio — just enough to bind the fibers without unnecessary weight.
By comparison, wet carbon or carbon-over-fiberglass parts can be up to 70% heavier, since excess resin and fiberglass layers add mass without increasing stiffness.
For reference:
- Carbon Fiber Density: ~1.55 g/cm³
- Fiberglass Density: ~2.6 g/cm³
Dry carbon also offers a much higher modulus of elasticity (~125 GPa), giving it outstanding rigidity under stress — ideal for aerodynamic and high-load components.
Visual & Structural Differences
-
Backside: A true dry carbon piece will look identical front and back — you can see the same woven pattern throughout.
Wet carbon or fiberglass-backed parts often have a dull, uneven underside with visible fiberglass texture or color variation. -
Edges: Solid dry carbon has clean, uniform black edges.
Wet carbon or overlay parts may show a white or grey line along the edge, revealing the fiberglass underneath — sometimes hidden with black paint trim. - Finish: Dry carbon typically has a consistent matte or satin finish, while wet carbon can appear glossy but uneven due to hand-applied resin.
