what do you think
Hello I ordered a front splitter, and side skirts from carbon fiber customs which I'm excited about but wondering if I made the rite decision not on the kit but on the type of carbon? I went with the checkered which is in the first picture, the second picture is what the kit looks like

I think his quality will be there, and also his customer service has been above and beyond for being so far away it wont be until summer when the stuff gets installed cause I have to order rim's and also get my rear wide flairs installed so along way to go before pics of them on

Chess anyone? 
Seriously, if that's what you want, then go with it. The industry standard is the 2x2 twill - the angled pattern tends to flow well with all the compound curves and looks a bit more integrated.

Look, you can't go wrong if you look at your Vette, smile and nod your head because, yeah, that's what you were going for. There are as many different combos of mods on C5's here as there are members - vive la difference!
Enjoy it the way you want it - you only live once and you might as well do what makes you happy.

I like the checkered and the overall effect. I'm not going to make such a change because I'm already having issues with getting in and out of my driveway. Otherwise, I think it looks good.

Personally I like the 2x2 weave pattern, but if you want to be different, then the checkered pattern will do the trick. Post up pics when you get the stuff installed.
