Vicrez V8R Front Splitter vz112101 for the Kia Stinger: Full Breakdown

The Kia Stinger is one of the best-kept secrets in the sport sedan world — a twin-turbo, rear-biased GT that punches well above its price class. But the front end has always been its most polarizing angle. The Vicrez V8R Front Splitter (vz112101) fixes that. It sharpens the nose, adds functional downforce, and turns the Stinger’s front fascia into something that matches the car’s performance. Made in the USA, CNC-machined from 3D scan data, and available with six different winglet styles — this is the front-end upgrade Stinger owners have been waiting for.

What the V8R Front Splitter Actually Does

A front splitter isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade — it’s one of the most effective aerodynamic modifications you can make to a street car. The V8R works by creating a high-pressure zone above the splitter and a low-pressure zone beneath it, which generates downforce on the front axle. On the Stinger, which already has a tendency to feel light at the nose during aggressive driving, this translates to better turn-in response, more front-end grip, and a more planted feel at highway speeds and above.

The visual impact is just as significant. The V8R extends the lower profile of the Stinger’s bumper forward with a clean, aggressive lip that reads as factory-spec from a distance and purpose-built up close. It transforms the front end from “sporty sedan” to “something you’d see at a time attack event” — without looking overdone.

The takeaway: Real aero benefit plus a dramatic visual upgrade. The V8R is one of those rare mods that’s functional and good-looking at the same time.

6 Winglet Styles, 9 Surface Finishes — Fully Customizable

What sets the V8R apart from generic universal splitters is the level of customization. You’re not buying a one-size-fits-all lip — you’re configuring a splitter to match your exact build vision.

Winglet Styles — these are the vertical fins on either side of the splitter that add both visual aggression and aerodynamic stability:

1. No Front Winglets — clean and minimal (included)
2. Standard — subtle, straight-edge fins (+$45)
3. Sharky — angular, aggressive cuts (+$45)
4. Dragon — multi-fin design with bite (+$45)
5. Stingray — flowing, curved profile (+$49.99)
6. Vulcano — the most aggressive option, maximum visual impact (+$64.49)

Surface Finishes — the base is Textured Black, which is clean and understated. From there, you can go with:

• Matte Black (Vinyl, +$108.74)
• Gloss Black (Vinyl, +$119)
• Dry Carbon Fiber (Vinyl, +$129.89)
• Gloss Carbon Fiber (Vinyl, +$139.89)
• Satin Black (Vinyl, +$149.89)
• Carbon Flash Metallic (Vinyl, +$189.89)
• Satin Black Ice (Vinyl, +$198.89)
• Urban Camo (Vinyl, +$198.89)
• Forged Carbon Fiber (Vinyl, +$198.89)

You can also customize the support rod finish — Silver with Black Cover comes standard, with Carbon Fiber and color options (Yellow, Red, Purple, Blue, Black, Orange) available. And if you want a color accent along the splitter edge, Color Edge Trim is available in 8 colors at +$44.99.

The takeaway: Between winglets, finishes, rods, and edge trim, there are hundreds of possible configurations. No two Stinger builds need to look the same.

OEM Engineering, CNC Precision, Made in the USA

Every Vicrez body part starts with 3D-scanned CAD geometry taken directly from the vehicle. That means the V8R isn’t shaped to “kind of fit” — it’s engineered to match the exact body lines, mounting points, and panel gaps of the 2020–2024 Kia Stinger. CNC machining handles the final cut, which eliminates the fitment gaps and uneven edges you see on cheaper universal alternatives.

The material is high-grade ABS plastic — the same category used in OEM bumpers and factory aero components. It’s lightweight, impact-resistant, and takes paint and vinyl wrap cleanly. The splitter ships in your chosen finish (or Textured Black base), and Vicrez recommends test-fitting before any permanent modification or painting. Professional installation is recommended for optimal alignment.

The takeaway: This is a vehicle-specific, CNC-cut, American-made part — not a generic eBay lip. The fit and finish reflect that.

Complete the Stinger’s Aero Package

The V8R front splitter is designed to work as part of a cohesive aerodynamic system. Pair it with the V7R Side Skirt Splitters and Centa VR2 Rear Diffuser for a fully matched front-to-rear aero package — all engineered from the same 3D scan data, all sharing the same surface finish options so everything lines up perfectly. And if you’re doing a full build, the V28ZR Matte Black Wheels complete the look.
