Default Side skirts - plain flat black ones ?

Does anyone know where would the best place to get plain side skirts from? When I say plain - I'd like something just flat black, not the wide curvy ones - and easy to install without having to drill any holes in the car.

I have the flat black OEM mud guards and would like the side skirts to match this color and texture as close as possible. I don't like the wide side skirts that come on the Z06. Looking for the plain thinner style.

Any recommendations?

Thank you

Have a look at these, available for Stingray and Z06, and in Satin Black:

These are nice. I also have never warmed up to the Z06-style side skirts on the Stingray. The Z06 skirts are designed for the wider rear quarter panels and sort of look out of place on the more streamlined profile of the Stingray.

I like that these are also available in the textured OEM finish that matches their wider front wheel and OEM rear wheel splash guards.

Thanks fellas - exactly what I am looking for. Not looking to enhance the looks of the car but more so add protection to the sides.

I'll be picking these up today.

Thanks again !!

I'm not that keen on the Z06 skirts on the stingray either. I am leaning towards this style from WeaponX.

Ben - quick q. Do you make non Z06 side skirts? Ones that are a bit more understated without the Z06 bend toward the rear?

I'm thinking that even though it flairs out at the rear, I think you need that to offer some protection to the panels in front of the wheel. I think a splash guard their will help transition the blunt end of the skirt?

Just noticed the instructions state you need to drill 13 holes in the car to mount these. This is a deal breaker for me.

I emailed them asking if that was a mandatory step.

They already answered. They basically said there are 3 ways to mount them and you as the consumer have the choice as to which you use.

I'm now reconsidering the purchase. Not sure what I am going to do.
