Splitter attachable Wing Broken

Anyone know if there are replaceable wings for the front splitter ?

Bought the EOS brand, checked their web site and didn't see anything plus searched the internet couldn't find any replacement wings

God, hoping I don't have to buy whole new splitter

EOS is one step above cardboard. Just custom cut your next Amazon box into the shape that broke off, epoxy on, and spray paint.

Or you could try calling them and see if they'll sell you just a single piece.

I don't agree and many many camaro owners are buy their products. I see nothing wrong with what I bought just appears it was hit when the wheels where installed by the shop but can't prove it.

The biggest issue with EOS is that it's essentially impossible to know what you're buying until it's in your hands. They sell the same thing under multiple part numbers and use common descriptions across their entire line making it almost impossible to chase down parts like this. Even when you talk to the vendor, you won't get a straight answer.

Your best bet might be to go back and find your order and either "start there" in locating parts or possibly just buy another complete splitter and use the parts you need.

I have a splitter and side skirts from them on my car. Every review I read about the skirts complained about fit issues yet mine went on without a problem. Their marketing is absolute garbage and that makes it almost impossible to ensure that what you're buying will fit your car correctly.

"Carbon" fiber side skirts should not be hollow shells with a thin layer of questionable "carbon" fiber on the outer layer. It's cheap garbage that pretends to do what the real part is supposed to.

The "carbon" fiber front splitter I got was even worse somehow. It's just the top. There's no bottom to it. It was also the flimsiest piece of garbage. If all you want are the looks, it's good enough from 15 feet away, but the front splitter I got were so thin there's no way it was functional and it doesn't extend anywhere under the car so all it creates is more dirty air and possibly lift.

People who claim to like EOS are the same that have never touched a real $2000 front splitter and see how it's supposed to look/feel/perform.

I don't know what you bought, or what you THNK you bought, but the word "carbon" was never mentioned in the kit I bought. All of the pieces are ABS and the splitter is pretty solid overall. The skirts are not solid, but none are.

As I mentioned - their marketing is absolute garbage and it's almost impossible to know what you're buying until it's in your hands. I did a LOT of looking around, research, reading of reviews, etc. and then I reached out to the EOS seller to get details from them that I could use as reference to return it all if what came wasn't what they told me.

There's a huge difference between how shitty flimsy their side skirts are and real side skirts from C7 Carbon or OEM. Compare their trash to OEM or quality parts and you'll see the difference. Side skirts should not flex once mounted to the touch.

I have the EOS side skirts and they are fine - does require proper install and not seeing any "flimsy" issues.

My issue is not related to your complaints and is damage from tire installer so just looking for winglet replacements, tried online and didnt find any site to have them. Planning to call EOS this morning when they open.

I dont have the Carbon Fiber and mine is Glossy Black. The whole kits is nice and of course I'm not spending $$$ thousands of dollars either. If it does get damage they are replaceable at a marginal price vs $1200 for splitter

Received my EOS carbon fiber splitter yesterday. Unpackaged it and inspected it. Haven't had a chance to check fitment on the car yet. Initial observation: Both ember1205 "splitter is pretty solid overall" and zxspeedspec " It's just the top. There's no bottom to it." are correct. I'm not an expert on carbon fiber but it's definitely on the thin side. If I were going to track my car, this is not the splitter I would want. However, from an appearance standpoint, it looks great and it will serve my purposes. Aesthetically, it adds exactly what I want to the car at a reasonable price. No doubt there are both better and worse options but in this case, you get what you pay for.

I can't speak for whatever the item is that they're marketing as "carbon fiber" as mine is the most basic ABS one. It is not hollow underneath and is quite stout overall.

If you're planning to track your car, you want a REALLY solid splitter and/or will want the support braces added to ensure that the splitter doesn't fold under at high speed. The intent of that item for the track is create significant front downforce - at extremely high speed, it's going to be susceptible to bending under / tearing off if all that's holding it is adhesive between the bottom of the front fascia and the middle of the splitter.
