This side splitter kit is manufactured in "dry"
carbon fiber composite material. Not only does this give the Z06
a more finished appearance, but it offers improved durability. Side splitters (sometimes called
side skirts, rocker extensions, etc.) are a valuable
component in tuning the aerodynamics of a race/performance
vehicle. Think of them as an
air-management device. At high speeds, a large volume of air
travels along the sides of the vehicle. Without this side
splitter, some of this air is allowed to "roll" underneath the
rocker panels. This ends up affecting the underbody airflow - which is not a good thing. We want to keep the underbody airflow
as smooth as possible, and make sure to keep extraneous amounts
of air (such as air from the sides of the vehicle) from entering
the underbody area.
The APR Corvette C6 Z06
Carbon Side Splitter package comes as a 4 pc. kit, including
rear wheel well extensions for a seamless look.
