Any V3 owners have feedback on the Weapon X carbon front splitter. My Dad got hit with a pack of tar roofing shingles that a construction trailer so kindly dropped off a trailer on the highway. Aside from marring up the PPF there's a small crack on the splitter. Replacement cost from GM is approx $1500, Weaponx is approx $900.

If anyone has the weapon x splitter and has feedback on the quality I'd like to hear since it would save some money

I know I ordered some CF from WeopanX and it was 6 to 9 month lead time so I changed my order. Better check with Brent prior to placing order.

I ordered from WeaponX in March and I'm still waiting. At that time it was 3-4 months and it just keeps getting longer. It's now just over 5 months and the only answer I get from Brent is 6-9 months. I texted him recently to try and get a clearer idea since we're past the original estimate and he was very uncooperative. He was abrasive because I had texted him in July and he thought that was sufficient. I was going to wait to post this until after I got my hood and splitter, but here it is. I will never order from WeaponX again. I would have never ordered if told a 6-9 month wait time when I ordered. If I ever get my order I will post about it. Note: I currently have a WeaponX hood that I've been very happy with until it got dinged in an accident.

Maybe try to get the crack repaired? If you can find a shop, absolutely not one person other than your Dad will give a shit that there is a small repaired crack in the splitter, but I know how small things can be irksome.

Check the online store that is a vendor.

The Extreme Online Store (EOS) has a decent carbon fiber replacement splitter that fits well, once you enlarge the screw holes. The nice thing is if you destroy it, you are only out $450 vs. $1500 for the GM part. It looks really good also.

EOS is no where near GM OEM quality and isn't even true carbon fiber. It's heavy fiber resin with a layer of carbon fiber where you can see. It is not only heavier, but much thicker than OEM. The gloss coating is also very thin making the carbon fiber appear flattened. Also, the finish is not smooth and you will notice the difference if you know what OEM looks like. I have an OEM splitter and EOS spoiler...night and day difference. OEM costs more and it shows.

Definitely going to attempt getting it fixed and just drive with the original, The new splitter was mainly for resale purposes, Sucks when a 5000 mile car gets hit the first time

Appreciate all the feedback. In light of the weapon x delay, I guess I'll wait to see what @db-guru thinks of his splitter if he ever gets it. I've seen some EOS V2 stuff and don't think that's really OEM quality but they are cheap

Another place to look is Street Driven Motorsports Vladi has a very good reputation on CTS-V vs The World on Facebook. He has a V3 style splitter but I don't like the style. I'm looking for the original style V2. He also has a V3 style heat extractor hood which I would consider.

Oops, my mistake. Here's the V3 aero link. V3 Aero

With the poor state of roads by me, I look at the splitter as a consumable part, it’s going to get damaged at some point. I went with EOS, found fit & finish very good. I had it parked next to another V awhile back, and it was very close..
Avoid Wx, unless you like to wait 4+ months, only to receive a poorly made, defective c/f piece. Then be told, that you were supposed to get a good one.. Wait 2 more months for a replacement that doesn’t arrive. Then be told they won’t refund your money.. There are better places to spend money.

I agree if you drive its inevitable something will happen. wanted to get something as close to weave and quality of the OEM considering there's other Carbon on the car. EOS shows unavailable at the moment, guess there's delays everywhere. I definitely don't want the above scenario you described with WX

Sorry to hear your hearing exactly what I was told a year ago. Have heard similar stories… Looks like their MO hasn’t changed after a year.

We've sold a good bit of the EOS stuff with positive results across the board.

 

[MEATSWORD]

I got the EOS side skirt and fit was good and they look nice, I would give the EOS a go. (And plan to when I need a new splitter)
If you want to go the cheapest route get the fiberglass one and spray it yourself.

Just have realistic expectations you want the premium? Get the OEM splitter.
Want to have a cost effective option that looks good ,EOS.

Good luck 👍

I have the eos side skirts as well and they match ask the oem carbon fiber pieces on the rest of the car pretty well. I meant it’s not 100% perfect but it’s probably 90% and unless you have the side by side examining closely you can’t tell. The price difference is night and day plus oem side skirts are not even available anyway as an aside.

Anyone have any first hand experience with the CF pieces from Street Driven Motorsports?
