Default Sunday, Z06 Grill, Splitter and Side Skirts go on, Open for advice...

Got some time in the shop and my friend who is body/paint guy (restores Corvettes for NCRS), is going to work with me to get the Z06 grill on and the RPI Design Z06 skits and Z06 Stage 2 splitter on the Corvette.

For you guys who have done this before, how long did it take to"

Put on RPI Splitter with air deflectors,
Put on the Side Skirts
I estimated to do the grill, based on video about 90 mins.

Any issues or roadblocks that we might encounter putting on the splitter or skirts?

All advice and tips from those who did it welcomed....THANKS

No issues with zo6 skirts. Easy peazy. No problem either with front splitter. 30 min for skirts with someone holding the other end. 45 min for splitter due to 10 rivets plus 10 screws. I had mine wrapped with expel bedsore install so the interior edges are wrapped under the lip.

Air ratchet helps with all those screws and I put some black tape on the fender portion around the light on the paint to prevent scratches. The bumper wanted to hop up there until I was able to figure out the sticky clip. For the part of the bumper that sticks next to the light, I had the best luck giving a good jerk up and back toward the windshield if that makes sense. Good luck!
