I was wondering if, before installation, anyone took any pictures or made any documentation about sizes and mounting locations on any front spillters or side skirts? Basically I'm curious as to what they look like before they are installed.

I was thinking about this yesterday!

This beautiful car belongs to JohnnyT.

His car alone make me want to add skirts and a front spoiler.

I guess this means no one took any pictures before installing? Are there any install PDF's out there?

Here's a picture of the C5R lip from Quik Z06.

This may be a little off-topic, but does anyone have feedback on how bad the front end scrapes with the lip versus before? I'm considering the C5R style lip, which seems to have the most ground clearance...

It will scrape on steeper ramps.
I cut and shortened mine 4" width and 2" depth because I didn't like how it stuck out and went up the wheelwells
but that makes no difference on clearance.
It's also lower than parking curbs so a Curb Alert is recommended but don't drive in too quickly
I had a Show n Go retractable plate I sunk into it 1/2 way ( if you look carefully you can see it)
and it got smacked a few times so I took it off and put my plate in my Tigershark grille.
Then while driving 70, a dead critter in the middle of the highway lane at 5 am in the dark took it out.
Unfortunately unlike urethane, fiberglass breaks easy.
There aren't any urethane spoilers available other than the Tigershark but it was too busy for me
I painted my factory 3 piece blue with Plastikote peel paint to match my car and bought this for 20.00.
Will try and see what I can do with it.

Was also considering this universal Carbon Fiber spoiler that has Max clearance

I'm going to go with this urethane piece.
It's a little short front to back but I can make up some short 4" pieces to extend it to the wheelwells.
I can spray it blue with peel coat matches the Nassau Blue well.

He asks for before they were installed pix and some posts their car with it installed LOL

I'll be getting the C5R lip as well, I know for sure it'll scrape.

Thanks guys. I got the couple of PMs with links that had helpful images. I'm still looking for pics of uninstalled side skirts and maybe even an install guide. If anyone comes across something like that, let me know.

tdogg21

Some of the pics may not have been what I was looking for, but at least they were cool looking rides!

Thanks for the feedback!

This is an ACI front splitter I have on my car. You probably have enough info on splitters but thought I'd throw my hat in the mix for ya. I don't have any documentation on the installation but maybe the pictures will help you somewhat. I bought it used so it didn't come with all the mounting hardware. It was really pretty easy to install. The hardest part was getting myself to drill holes into my car. I used some large area washers and nuts on the inside. As you can see I cut holes into the lip on the back side to allow more air to get to the radiator. I have since cut that lip completely off though. No over heating problems what so ever but didn't have any really to begin with. It does scrap pretty often though. I don't have any side skirts so I can't show you anything about those. Hope you don't mind the after shot.

This will be in next week.
It's urethane and only 99.00 shipped.
I'll let you guys know how it works out.
I think it will fit well other than being short to the wheel openings
front to back.
I don't want another easy to break fiberglass airdam
or anything that hangs too low and this looks just like
what I'm looking for.

I ordered a tegris splitter from a guy who deals with NASCAR. $110 shipped. And will be here Tuesday.

Here is an install thread for the Vortex front splitter;

Do it! I love the pieces - great quality and fitment. It really helps to stand my car out from the rest too
