0H1Z06 - Where did you get the side skirts and how difficult was the install? Did you have to drill into the car or did they mount with stock bolts?

Haven't got them installed yet but tried to do a little trial fit and see what they would look like. Haven't completely sold myself on them yet. Someone needs to talk me into putting them on as I'm about 40% yea, 60% nay...If I install them I will be using double sided 3M VHB tape and a few screws at various locations.

ACP.... Yes, I drilled into under carriage.
Insure whatever you get that your painter preps well prior to paint. My guy kind of half assed it and over time you can see the imperfections. gonna have em redone at some point along with my front splitter.

I put the c7Carbon side skirts on mine. I love the way they look. I did have to drill holes, and I mounted them with rivets. It wasn't too bad to do. I didn't do any prep work to the skirts themselves. There is a slight gap in a couple spots, but you have to be looking from a certain angle to notice them, and I doubt anyone does but me.

The c7Carbon side skirts have a "mudflap" that goes up the rear wheel well, in front of the tire. This worked great with the lewis5 splash guards that I also added..

Stroker - no, they are from lewis5 (L5 motorsports). They are a little tricky to mount the front ones. I posted a reply to a thread on here about them with tips.
The rims are OEM C6 GS rims that were re-finished in black chrome

Your skirts look good, do they have a smooth concave sweep, or does the angle increase near the rear. It is hard to tell in the pics, and with the CF grain.

They all look great thanks guys. Weird thing I noticed about C5s they always look better in person pics don't seem to do them justice. Does anyone regret doing the skirts.
