Need advice on side skirts
I am looking to purchase a set of ZR1 or Z07 style side skirts, but I need some help deciding on what color to get. Looks like RPI Designs has the best option around.
- Black (Gloss)
- Arctic White
- Carbon Fiber
Let me know what color you guys think would be best. At the moment I am leaning towards Carbon Fiber, but I don't think I am going to get anything else carbon fiber (lip or diffuser). Here are a few pics.

I was thinking same on carbon but I can not use a carbon spliiter so I am going to go Cyber Gray on side skirts
Black or flat black would look good for you as it would match the stock front

I have the carbon fiber ones, but I have a lot of other carbon. With your scenario and looking at your wheels I would go Painted black to match the black gloss paint on your wheels.

I put flat black on mine and they match the front lip and rear diffuser; also the door handles and the GS badges. I also added front splash guards in flat black. You also seem to have a black theme going on Why throw in another color ?

Thanks for all the quick replies. I agree that flat black would look better in terms of matching with the other exterior pieces.
What's the difference between the Z07 and the ZR1 side skirts? The looks the same to me.

Also, it looks like both of the above packages only include the splash guards for the rear. I noticed the the stock ZR1 side skirts have a front splash guard as well. Is that something that I'll have to purchase separately?

I found the front splash guards separately, but there a pretty penny when compared to the side skirts themselves. Also, the only come in a single color (satin black) which may differ slightly from the side skirt color (flat black).

Black skirts, black halo, black top, black spoiler, black splash gaurds. Then tint the windows. If your wheels are flat, do everything flat. Would look awesome in my opinion.
I have everything listed above, except my car is Velocity Yellow, not white. And I dont have skirts yet.

I don't plan on changing the roof, halo, or spoiler. The pics above a little old and I do have the windows tinted already. The dilemma I have now is that my wheel are the factory gloss black and the trim pieces are flat black. Should I have the side skirts match the wheels or the rest of the trim?
