Default Installed C7 Carbon Side Skirts

Finally got the C7 Carbon side skirts installed yesterday. I think they turned out really nice and adds a little effect for the rear C7 Carbon spoiler. Diver side fit better than the passenger side. On a side note...one of the side skirts came damaged and C7 sent out a replacement very quickly. Great company to deal with.

They go well with the wheels and the color of your car.

Nice. How much do they reduce the ground clearance by?

Inquiring minds want to know. Side skirts on my C7 reduced clearance by barely half an inch. I was thinking of skirts for my C5.

Looks good. Love your choice of wheels, but I am a little biased......

they look good in your pics, how do they look in person up close?... are there any breaks or inconsistencies in the weave pattern or clear coat?

The finish is outstanding. Super happy. They fit very well to the body. Only area that could fit a little better is where passenger skirt meets the carbon piece that is mounted in front of the rear wheel. I think I paid less than a $1000 shipped with forum discount for the spoiler and side skirts. Very nice product.
