Default Show me your Side Skirts!:)
After adding the front spoiler to my car last week, I'm kinda tempted to put a set of side skirts on the vette. Please post pics of your side skirts, would help if it was on a Millenium Yellow C5 but any color will do.

I really like the side skirts that Ecklers has:http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...dept%5Fid=1736

Here's a pic of uforic C5's Vette with the Ecklers ground effects kit!

I like the side skirt from MidAmerica but wanna check them out in person to see any sign of glue-on alike which I don't like.

Mine are ACI - front, sides and rear. I have had them for three years. You have to be careful with the front spoiler, but you just have to learn to approach dips and bumps cautiously, and at an angle. Good luck.

Thanks for all the replies. Very nice cars Right now I'm leaning more towards the Ecklers kit, but then again I like the ACI look too! Decisions Decisions

Those look pretty good! Are those the ACI side skirts? Where do they bolt on at?

...For your taste, or your wallet? (I found that just about nothing is too costly for my taste. But my wallet, well... That's a whole other problem!)
