Does anyone have any side skirts that are painted body color? Specifically Torch Red???? Debating on adding them to my Stingray, but wondering if the black or body color would look better?
Do these take a beating down low and get chipped up badly?

Yeah, Side skirts look good. Better when they come with the car. I thought about it and decided not to go thru the hastle of putting them on. Drilling and taping on sill. I decided that I would do the 3M protectant from the strike along the bottom of the door. Looks great, no hastle, cheep compared to the expense of skirts.

What exactly is the 3M protectant? Are you saying you used the same skirts that require drilling, but you used the 3M tape to hold them instead, or there is another type that only requires the 3M tape?

Mine are bolted on front and back using the factory bolts. The middle part is held on with 3M tape. 3M VHB tape is tough stuff. As long as you properly prep the area where the tape goes and apply the tape correctly, I doubt they will come loose.

I think he's saying he put 3m protective film on rather than buy skirts.

The tape was already applied to the skirts by the manufacturer. I just needed to peel off the other side before attaching it to the rocker. It was the same width as the roll of 3M VHB tape I have on hand, which is about 1" wide.

Can someone with a Torch Red Stingray with Chrome wheels post a picture if you have added the side skirts? I want to see what my car would look like with them before I order....I see that RMI sells them in all colors. I like the ones that curve in towards the middle better than the ones that are straight. I'm thinking about getting the Torch Red painted ones so they blend in, but being an ex-painter and perfectionist, a little worried about the paint quality and the match to my car.
