Default Who's silver Z06 is this?

Beautiful car! Can you please tell me what size wheels you have, what offset, etc? I'm trying to decide between these and Forgestars. I know there is roughly a $1000 cost difference, but these look so amazing my mind is pretty much made up. Also, if you have some more pictures, post them please!

Both are ACI pieces, ordered from Dennis @ Double D Mods. Quality is stellar and installation was very easy (though I'd recommend a partner to hold one end while you're bolting the other end down).

Fitment was pretty spot on. All the pre-drilled holes lined up perfectly, and there's just one very small gap (maybe 1/16") on each end where the front splitter meets the bumper. The side skirts do require a couple holes to be drilled into the rockers, but you will use two existing bolts down there so lining it up is pretty easy.

The one thing I'll note is that ACI has two versions of the side skirts. I had no idea and accidentally ordered the wrong version that wouldn't fit. The part #s I used are:

Front Splitter: ASF700
Side Skirts: AGK600

Hope that helps!

Johnny - When you say the pre-drilled holes lined up, I'm assuming you mean with existing holes already in the bumper? (Sorry, mines in storage so I can't sneak a peak!)

Yes sir! There's a handful of pre-drilled holes in the side skirts and two of them line up with an existing bolt in the front fender and another with the rear part of the rocker panel. My skirts lined up perfectly with those so getting the other holes drilled into the rockers and getting a tight flush fit was spot on easy.

Can't wait to get mine out of storage by the way! Minnesota's finally breaking free of winter in the next week or two here

I believe the splitter uses 3 existing bolts on each side to help with alignment (I did this a few years ago so can't quite remember the count). You do have to drill a few additional holes in the bumper, but getting it lined up is pretty easy after using the existing bolt locations. It's a very easy install!

I'm lowered on C6 front bolts and West Coast Corvette's longer rear bolts with Doug Rippie's re-valved Bilstein's
