Oh come on! Quit posting these. You already cost me another $450.00 for the lip. Alright sucker, here ya go. I have the spoiler on the back of my car! That was supposed to be it until you came along! The matching spoiler is bad ***. The side skirts look very cool. Damn.....

Thanks Dude...

The side skirts fit pretty well. A little tricky on the install, but not that bad. I used about four self-threading metal screws on the side skirts and at two locations (front and rear) the original body panel screws. PM Pete regarding the cost of the Lip and Skirts.

Great pics. Even lowered, looks like the only real hazard to your splitter will be parking stops and curbs. You need the ZR1 matching spoiler, and lightly tinted windows. Very nice car. Nice job.....
