Default Yet another ZR1 side skirt question. It's easy an one :)

To begin ... yes i searched and could not find an exact answer.

What is the difference between the RPI brand
"Centennial Z07 Style Side Skirts"
and the
"ZR1 Style Side Skirts"

They look the same and are the same price .. so what gives? Why not just have ONE ZR1 side skirt to sell? Am I missing something ?

Also - and again sorry - I searched but not an EXACT answer.

Do you have to drill to install the side skirts .. I think you do, right? But if you do .. its pretty simple right: just follow the holes that come on the side skirt already?

The reason I ask is because in the RPI description it says "Simply bolt on these parts with the provided hardware" - so doesnt sound like any drilling......

Thanks guys as always

i don't think anything is different it says when u click on the z07 "These are the same parts as Part number ZR151" which that number is for the zr1 style


Yes, you have to drill them on. They provide you with the screws

when you install them i suggest that you put the rear fender extensions piece on first then hold the skirt up to the car but it against the rear extension piece put those 2 screws in then i put the 2 bolts that go in existing clips in the front( which will hold the skirt on its own at that point. I then i proceeded to drill and screw the skirt on.

Make sure you don't go crazy tightening the screws remember you are going into fiberglass, you don't want to strip the hole out.

RPI products are very well done i have the zr1 style carbon fiber

I installed a set of Katech side skirts on my GS and used large headed black pop rivits to attach them to the rockers. Looks very OEM.
