Vinnie,
I have not had any dealings with them. A person named "Jason" posts for them over in the C6 section of the Corvette Forum. They are well respected over there. They also sponsor some "Track Attack" days at the Autobohn Country Club in Joliet, IL, that sure looks like a lot of fun for the go fast crowd.

That said they do the race engines for the C6R so someone in Chevrolet Powetrain is dealing with them. You might know someone in that organization who can give you a name and number.

Don't have a contact, but they sure do have a GREAT reputation for fine state-of-the-art performance work.

Patrick...more than I could ever handle...however the front spolier scares me to death and was thinking about one of their fiberglass replacements...half the price of replacing the original carbon fiber one...already scratched/dinged the original and don't need to damage it any more than it is...

I was hoping that after a few thousand miles you didn't think you needed to open it up and check your work.

I think that there are a couple of other vendors out there with replacements as well, though I don't know their names.

After seeing and then slowly driving the ZR1 prototype in 2008 I said the first thing I'd do is remove the spoiler if I ever had one to drive on the street.

Re: Katech, Clinton, MI

Thanks to everyone for the replies...The Katech spoiler/splitter seems to be the closest looking to the original spoiler configuration for the 2012 spoiler with the gel coat. The others I have seen come thru as either bare or black painted fiberglass. So I decided to go with the Katech as I didn't care to tackle the gel coating. Jason was a pleasure to deal with and responded promptly to my email and questions.

Re: Katech, Clinton, MI

I fixed one that was chipped with supplies from Advance-think I spent less than $20. Got a tube of self harding bondo(black) & after cleaning the splitter worked it into the chips/cracks. Do not sand but use a dull knife to smooth it out. Then use a spray can of self harding clear & put a couple of coats on the whole splitter. It looks better that new. PS, now I back into parking spaces.

On the way home from Dave Ferguson's funeral in Arlington last month, stopped at the last rest area on the NJ TPK for gas...was in line and when the attendant waved me around to the front pump, I never saw the curb on the right...live and learn...
