I tried doing a search for front wheel air deflector for my 2014 C7 base with a stage1 Z06 splitter. I could only find winglets or front deflector for stage2 & stage3 splitter. Does anyone know if there is a front wheel air deflector without having to replace the stage1 splitter?

Are you really asking about the front wheel air deflectors, or are you trying to ask about front side winglets?

By the way, I just did a Google search, and I was surprised that I saw people calling the side winglets as "air deflectors". They are two different things. The front wheel air deflectors go under the car, one in front of each wheel, are made of rubber, and can scrape when you pull up in some driveways.

Not the winglets. The air deflector that mounts on the front wheel well. Like this but will work with a stage1 splitter.

Ah, those are the "front wheel flares". A lot of people also call these "front wheel spats".

I believe the GM parts numbers for those are 23315197 for the left, and 23315196 for the right. I hope those are the correct part numbers. I am not 100% sure.

Below is a picture of my car with the front splitter removed. You can see the notch in both the wheel flare, and also the air deflector underneath. That allows both of them to accommodate the edge of the stage 1 splitter between them.

Ok. No wonder I could not find it under air deflector search.lol.

How did you mount them?

thank you for the help!

I have a Z06, so they came mounted from the factory. There may be videos online from people who have added them.

Old school calls it a mudflap

I think a lot of people still call the ones which go behind the wheel a mudflap.

No, I was thinking about the one’s that goes in the front. The front wheel spat but I am thinking hard about doing that because if I do put them on which would lead to getting bigger wheels and tires to fill it in.
