Default Side skirt guys "step inside please" with pics

Guys and gals...I would be interested in seeing your c6 Z06/GR1/GS that you either installed the stock width ZR1 style sides skirts or the extended wider version side skirts on you cars. I've just received my front splitter and side skirts (wide version) ready to install on my wide body and and not sure the wide versions will compliment my car. I'm second guessing and debating going back to and reordering the stock narrower versions.
Can you post up pics of your cars that side skirts were added and tell me if you used the standard width version? Or the extended version? Also note if you are running a stock 19x12 rear wheel/tire setup? Or wider aftermarket wheel setup? Before I start drilling I just want to make sure these wider version don't give the bottom of my wide body the appearance of having wings under the doors. Please tell me everything about the wheel and skirt setup that you have with as many pictures as possible. It would be greatly appreciated and would determine whether I send these wide version back and order the stock ZR1 width skirts.
Thanks

Those side skirts look great, but I'd be so worried about bottoming out everywhere.

Same here. I'm not lowered at all and I worry about speed bumps and steep entries. Being lowered like that I dont know how it survives normal driving.

Not that bad to drive...just got to know how to drive a lowered car and what areas to avoid. Can't beat the looks though.

Thanks...would still be interested in the width at the rear, from body to outside edge. I'm leaning more towards going to the stock width now verses the extended version. Your car looks great! Thanks!

Thanks, I haven't had any issues with it being so low.....
But, south FL we don't have too many dips in the roads, I do have speed humps in my hood, not bad.

Thanks for removing the trash can, it wasn't trash day so I couldn't be bothered to move it haha
