Check out my white with dual CF full stripes Z51 now with ACS CF splitter and side skirts. I am happy with the way it came out and now will look to set the appointment to have protective wrap done.

Very nice Vette, well done. Your ramps look very dangerous.

Thank you John Micheal Henry.

Looks, but I assure you it was extremely sturdy. Old school solid metal truck ramps that were too steep for the Vet to drive up so we used ramps from a car trailer that fit nicely and securely on top of them. It wasn't pretty but it was safe and we got the job done.

Rivets. I have read the posts by other Forum Members regarding this install and knew similar to a few others that I was all in on this one. I wanted these on before I had the car and I know I do not want them off. They complete the car and we should have been able to order them installed just like other options.

Drilling and riveting your dream car is very difficult. I believe I am repeating a previous post by saying this is not for the faint of heart. Thank you to the members that have posted their splitter and side skirt installs. It was your successful installs (regardless of the method you choose to secure them) that provide the necessary information and confidence I needed to go for it and do this modification.

Gateman, I like your pictures and ground effects.



Just so you know, you can post more that one picture per post. Also, we have a Multi-Quote button here on CF.com. It allows you to respond to multiple people in a single reply. It will look like Post #6. Be sure to try both out!


Cheers!

Looks perfect you did a great job on your install. I originally planned on ordering Laguna Blue but somewhere along the way White won me over. What method did you use to darken your side markers? I want to do that next and I like the shade on yours it blends nicely with the rest of your car.

Thank you Patriot. CF = Carbon Flash
You can order them one of 3 ways; primer, carbon flash and satin black.

Thank you Steve.
I did try posting more than one pic 3 times and it kept timing out with an error message. I will use the computer instead of the iPad next time, then I should be cooking with gas. Thank you for the guidance.

Thanks, same to you on your install. These kits are a perfect addition to the c7. I had my tail lights and marker light tinted with a lexon vinyl. If I had to do it again I would have had the sprayed.
