Zip Corvette now has the ZR1 Corvette Front Splitter available for all C6 Corvettes. The front splitter, which comes stock in carbon fiber on the new ZR1 Corvette is an identical fiberglass reproduction of GM’s original design. There are two different molds of the new front splitter; one for all C6 non Z06 or ZR1 Corvettes, and another for both the Z06 and ZR1.

ZR1 Front Splitter

The ZR1 front splitter comes ready to paint, includes all hardware for installation, and can be installed fairly easily in about one hour. Be aware however that the provided hardware is not enough to securely fasten the front splitter. Due to the added downforce, a factory ZR1 Front Bumper Reinforcement is recommended when installing. Without this reinforcement the front splitter could be separated from your Corvette while driving. This front reinforcement is only available for Z06 & ZR1 Corvettes; it will not fit a non Z06 or ZR1 unless the car has a Z06 body update kit installed. Also know that these fiberglass front splitters are not meant for competition use but strictly for visual enhancements.

If you think the ZR1 Front Splitter is without a doubt your next Corvette’s upgrade but you would like to go with the original carbon fiber front splitter, you can. The Carbon Fiber ZR1 Corvette Front Splitter will fit all C6 Z06 and ZR1 Corvettes. If your C6 Corvette has our famous Z06 Body Update Kit the new carbon fiber front splitter will fit your Corvette as well. The bumper reinforcement is recommended for this front splitter also.

Corvette owners: Does “turn-key” sound more appealing than “Do-It-Yourself”? If so, Zip Corvette’s Performance & Installation Facility is for you.

For years, Zip Corvette has been the place to buy Corvette Parts & Accessories for your 1953 to C6 Corvette, but now your purchase is even easier. In 2004, we opened our Corvette performance and installation facility. We offer Zip Corvette customers a professional installation on thousands of items, backed by our Customer Satisfaction Guarantee and over 30 years of Corvette experience.

Just about anything: Whether you need a 1966 Corvette Trailing Arm rebuild or want to gain a few extra horsepower from your 2009 C6, you can count on Zip. We utilize only the best equipment available, including all diagnostic tools, tuning equipment and the latest tire mounting and balancing machines. We can safely mount and accurately balance any Corvette wheel and tire package. Whether it is a new set of Firestone Deluxe Champions on a 1955 Corvette or the latest ZR1 Corvette wheels on a C5 or C6, or even our 20 inch forged wheel and tire packages, we can handle it.

More than just wheels: Are you in the market for a reputable shop to install a new Corsa, B & B, Borla, Callaway or Magnaflow Exhaust System with Kooks Headers and Crossover Pipe? We can do it. Did you say Corvette Supercharger? Of course we can install those too, and even tune the car to make the most horsepower possible. Our head mechanics are certified ASE Master Automobile Technicians who have spent many days under the hood of all six generations of Corvettes. From projects as basic as installing grill screens or side spears to the installation of Z06 Corvette Body Update Kits and more, whatever the job may be, we have successfully done it numerous times.

The small stuff: While we can certainly handle the large projects, many of the Corvettes that are in and out of our installation facility are getting the “small things” installed. This includes exterior accessories like Corvette fender screens, billet aluminum grills, C6 Corvette license plate mounts and much, much more. Why spend 2-4 hours during your weekend reading instructions, trying to do it yourself and hoping you did it right? Just come to Zip; we can handle many jobs in under an hour while you wait on the couch in our showroom. You can have confidence in our installation service because we’ve done them all many times.

We build it: One aspect of our installation facility that is often overlooked is the fact that many of our Corvette parts are built in-house by experienced technicians. We build all of our own differentials for all generations of Corvettes, as well as Corvette trailing arm assemblies, steering boxes and many more parts. Our performance Corvette Differentials are currently running in SCCA Corvette race cars, as well as many satisfied customers’ cars on the street. Use Zip Corvette’s install shop with confidence! Stop by and see a sales person or contact us for an appointment. Remember that unlike other auto shops, at Zip, Corvettes are all we do.
