Default sideskirts for c5

Are there any available sideskirts for c5 corvette that look good? I seen one set but they kick up nasty just infront of the rear tire and look nasty. Also does anyone use a VFN 3" cown hood not fully extended to where you can run wipers. This rk sport hood looks nice but is it to be used with stock hinges and latch or hood pins. 97-04 Corvette C5 "RKSport" High Rise Hood (HL) | eBay

This ultra high rise hood looks nice at 3.5" 97-04 Corvette C5 "Ultra Hi-Rise" Hood (HL) | eBay

These look to be the best zr side skirts available C5 ZR Edition Side Skirts Rocker Panels 2 Piece fits Chevrolet Corvette 97- | eBay

But yes back to sideskirts does anyone use them on there c5 corvette and which ones look the best? I see they have universal 20$ amazon carbon fiber sideskirt or lips 2" that would attach to the rocker panel or either front/rear bumper but read reviews of people installing them and loosing them on the drive. Or is this something where someone purchases the whole duraflex bumpers, sideskirts hood package as well as wide body kits.

these look awkwardly out of place the only c5 sideskirts i see advertised. https://www.ebay.com/itm/11402853338...3ABFBM1J2plolg
I guess you would have the z06 rear brake duct edition but you can mess up a whole rocker panel attempting to mount ducts.

This says for front bumper use only but i guess you could attempt to mount them on the sideskirts a 20$ carbon fiber 3m adhesive roll.

Oh Lord let me get this straight... you want to tape on a roll of generic $20 bumper plastic to your rockers to act as fake side skirts yet you turn up your nose to true C5-formed carbon fiber side skirts because they are "nasty" since they include a wheel well splash guard...

Please do buy that $20 stick on skirt. I would love to see it on your car.

the zr sideskirts look nice i think theyre missing or sideskirts have rooms for z06 brake ducts. You caught me why you think the adhesive 2" carbon fiber sideskirt may look good.

I said they had a nasty kick to them in the back that wave is missing.

These are the nice ones but 600$ man. I only have hopes of getting the carbon fiber c5 logo fender accent stripes and 284 spoiler.

Theres also these advanced ferrari mustang looked fastback rear window panels has anyone tried them? These look pretty slick.
I watched a video on youtube i think where he uses superwrap the car paint version to paint the roof black i wonder if it would work on the targa and sail panel.
