I ordered carbon flash painted skirts directly from ACS for my Z06 and had them shipped to the museum in Bowling Green for installation prior to delivery. The customer service is excellent and with the current exchange rate (ACS is in Quebec) you may find direct purchase is the way to go. Their website allows you to configure and view the various options as they appear installed on the car.
Are you saying the factory mounted non oem skirts for you prior to museum delivery?
If so what was the process to get this done?

No, I am doing museum delivery and it is being done as part of PDI at the museum.
Even if you order factory skirts they are shipped with car and mounted by the delivering dealer during PDI, none of the skirts are mounted prior to leaving the factory.
Hey guys, I've been reading a lot into the side skirts in protecting the side panels of my car and decided I want to get the side skirts (oem style) and a front splitter to match. Also debating getting the wheel well extensions and splash guards as well. I want to get them in carbon flash. I think ACS makes the kind I like. I am not looking for anything particularly lightweight (ie. I don't need actual carbon fiber). I just want the cheapest option with correct fitment and good looks that is not too difficult to self install in my parking lot haha. Any advice would be appreciated. I am already noticing rock chips and it's been <1500 miles on my z51. Thanks!
Going on the cheap is a bad idea, IMO. You truly get what you pay for. Try contacting G3 Carbon. Outstanding product, quality people. I know, I installed their products.
I went with G3 Carbon flash skirts. I suppose you could install them with the existing screws and double-sided tape without raising the car and forego the rivets but I would find a shop to do the install or a place where I could raise the vehicle about 8-10 inches to do the installation properly.
Your C7 is an expensive car. Looking for the cheapest is not the best idea. Remember too the people who sell parts and work on fair margins give you much better service if you have a problem.
& on the flip side, just because something is expensive does not mean it is good. Plenty of reasonably priced mods out there for all sorts of expensive cars & guess what...they are great quality!

No if you buy an expensive car your expected to ball out and buy the most expensive accessories possible. You're supposed to spend more than just buying the upgraded model (z06 in this case) from the start.

I went with G3 Carbon also. Best I have seen. Alan is easy to deal with and if you are close enough to get to meet pickles the dog.
$299 shipped...painted 'em satin black for $15
Z06 style running boards > overcopied, played out & overpriced
I agree I'm getting sick of the z06 style parts. I've been looking at the sentinel motorsports stuff lately. They have a new lip coming out which I might pull the trigger on here pretty soon. Their spoiler is awesome also not as bulky as the z06 option.
Thanks again for all the responses. I am hoping to get splitter + skirts in CFlash for somewhere around $700-800 shipped given the $500 price for (what sounds like) unpainted versions. I'll call around Monday.
One last question -- are these easily installed without raising the car? I live in the city and don't have a garage (which sucks with the vette). Luckily I have a reserved spot in a lot so I don't worry about dings, but I don't have too much room to install these.
They are both super easy to install and you do not need to jack your car up. There are 5 bolts under the side of car for the skirts 3in front and 2 in back. I also used 3m double stick tape (didn't want to drill and use the supplied rivets)for the area where there are no bolts. Make sure you clean the underside with soap and water and then some rubbing alcohol on the underside rockers,and then clean the part of the skirts that will go under the rocker panel with rubbing alcohol to help ensure the tape sticks. As far as the splitter goes it's about 12-15 bolts to unscrew and put back into the splitter. The 2 end bolts are behind the rubber scrape guard or what ever it's called, and when you remove the screws the end of the splitter slides under the rubber and screw back in. I believe it's either a 7mm or 8mm socket for the skirts and splitter, can't remember exactly. I have the C7 Carbon GTX skirts (they are a direct fit without having to drill) and stage 1 GM(poverty splitter)
Good to know. I think I want to drill and put the rivets in, but I think I may need to raise the car to get the drill under there. I wonder if I should just get some front wheel ramps and if that would be enough.

One of the previous side skirt threads said he still got some nicks on his paint with the narrow style side skirts. I don't remember the brand, but something to consider before installing. If you do a search you may be able to find the thread.
