Yep! You go it! I bought mine from West Coast Corvettes. The skirts are the Stage 2 skirts. I didn't open them all the way up because I received them at my office, but what I see looks awesome! They sure are packaged well. I was impressed that there was some kind of hard board taped down the length of each box to make sure the boxes were not compromised in shipping.

West Coast Corvettes Stage 1 Splitter and Stage 2 Side Skirts in Carbon Flash - Additional Pics
The Stage 1 Splitter is installed using existing hardware. The Stage 2 Side Skirts come with the hardware needed and require drilling holes into the lower portion of the rocker panel.

The whole package looks terrific, congrats on IMO, the best looking VY Vette I have ever seen pics of, or, in person, enjoy!

Thanks everyone! Here's a photo of the underside of the skirt showing the points of attachment. All but one of the attachment points have to be drilled into the rocker panel.

Your car looks great! 
Still haven't seen a under the hood shot after back from BG. I'm truly convinced you got a LT4 for what you've been through. At least that's what I would be expecting LOL
