Hi Guys,

I wanted to add a good front splitter that will work with the NON PP lower configuration since I don't feel like spending $1000 on a PP lower set up. Anyone know any that will just bolt up?

Thanks Anthony

I'm pretty sure the only differences between a PP and non-PP splitter is that the PP splitter has the cutouts for the brake cooling ducts while the others don't. But they are interchangeable in terms of mounting.

I swapped to the PP undertray and lip and they all bolted on the same way on my non-PP. It also didn't cost anywhere near $1000, I did it all for under $300.

I thought the shape of the under panel was different and leaves some areas unsecured on the corners.

Correct - the belly pans are a slightly different shape. So if you try to use the PP splitter with the non-pp belly pan (or vice-versa), they won't go together correctly, if at all.

And at least for the 15-17's, I know the PP splitter was like 400 bucks at a dealer and the belly pan, another 140 (at least they were in the past year). Worth it for the actual brake cooling for me.

OP - sorry, I don't have a recommendation for ya. Just be wary some out there are quite flimsy or break easy and there's a reason they're much cheaper. There are a few that american muscle and a few other vendors carry that will work with the non-pp belly pan. You'll want to look for the ones labeled " w/o Performance Pack ".


Steeda doesn't show it, but that item listed elsewhere shows that it's for PP models. I like the look though.

ZL1Addons has some options. Never tried them so can't comment on quality. I think ARP has one as well.

I was under the impression, there are multiple parts that are needed to make it work on a non pp car. (Brackets, braces, crossmember etc.). Like a mini projet to simply bolt up a new splitter. Expensive too, like $800 bucks.

Thanks Anthony

Me too, same here. It seems non PP cars need all the brackets and metal brace. I'm not 100% sure though.

Maybe the 15-17, but for me at least with a 2020 all I swapped over was the underbelly pan and the chin piece. It covers all the parts and matches the exact same mounting points as stock.

Pan was like $150 and chin splitter was $120 or so. If you can find them used on ebay is much better than paying dealer prices which are insane for a couple pieces of plastic.

At least on a 2020, all the mounting points are the same for the PP underbelly pan and the non-PP. Yes you need the splitter/chin piece, but other than that it goes right on.
