Installed side skirts
Finally had a chance to install the Carbon C7 side skirts. It was a pretty easy job.

Looks great.
However, what is the difference between the C7 side skirts and the other various side skirts that have been available over the years for the C5?

I bought them in the for sale section here, guy had them and never installed them, still in un opened box. I guess he sold the car before he had a chance to put them on. I paid $200. I think they go for around $300-350

Looks great Bro! Your car keeps getting better and better. I will have to cut the grass closer next time you are home. Not much to spare on your last visit without the skirts.

My car is lowered as well, doesn't look it in the pictures cause I just took it off the jack stands. I already scraped on the crown of my drive way. Glad I didn't paint them.

How was the initial fitment? Did you have to do any trimming to make it all kosher?
