Default GS standard side skirts

Can't recall, are the standard GS OEM side skirts plastic or carbon fiber? I know they're painted Carbon Flash, but the question came up during delivery of a friends GS yesterday, and no one present seemed to know the answer to this question. Thanks!

Hope they are painted carbon flash. But will they fit on a 2016 Z51 C7?

The standard are not carbon fiber, but I'm not 100% sure if they are abs plastic like the splitter or some other composite material.

There are OEM carbon fiber parts:

$4000 though

other painted parts are cheaper, which makes me think not carbon fiber, but they are also very expensive compared to after market carbon fiber

I think you are right. They are thin and rigid more like fiberglass.
