New Side Skirts Installed

Le Mans Master
Waiting for the base model side skirts, and front splitter to be back in stock and then will order them along with the rear ZR1 style spoiler. I think the matte black will look good on my '07 Monterey Red with the existing wide body.
Will post pictures when I have them and hopeful of the install.

BTW Rosey, your car looks really GOOD
FedEx just delivered mine this morning, boy was that fast, ordered Tues mid-day
Have to go buy the screws and bolts then onward and upward as they say.
FYI the packaging is excellent, and I also noticed that both WSA and Extreme Online Store had their labels on it, probably the same company I suspect, no matter, all's good
Wish me luck

Got them installed yesterday, took my time because I hated drilling holes in the body even if it is low but if you want them you gotta do it, or go with tape I guess. So here they are, photos suck I know.
I do notice that when entering the car my legs hit them because I'm not used to them yet, no biggie thou, they look great.
The drivers side front pattern is way off of the drill dimples provided so you'll have to improvise. I put a piece of dbl sided tape over the dimples and because its sort of soft I pressed hard and it left the imprint of the head of the OEM screw right where it had to be drilled, worked well, other wise your marking them blind.
Sorry Meadows for the hi-jack but you inspired me

Looks GREAT Bobby.......................... and tip of the hat for the improvising and sharing your method to ensure hole alignment...........
and to answer questions related to painting them, I have side skirts but mine were fiberglass and I painted them with SEM Trim Paint.......
I have the same ABS plastic style front splitter and all I did on the plastic trim on mine using Adam's Ceramic Trim Coating.........
darkens all of the plastics to a matte, sheen black finish and looks great.......... as long as the piece is the ABS plastic (cheaper side skirts) that is all I would recommend doing to them to make them perfect looking and easy to clean....................

Well, I hope you guys are happy. Your cars all look so darn good with the side skirts installed I Just couldn't resist the temptation any longer. Ordered a set from RPI. (OEM replicas) Ordered them pre-painted to match my car. Painted, take's a little longer to get them (3 weeks or so) but that's the look I want so I think or maybe I should say hope it will be worth the wait.

Looks great NSF! I know what you mean about getting in and out of the car with them. I have the extended ones so it took even more getting used to compared to my previous C6.

Looks really nice NSF! I actually get the back edge of my shoe by the heel caught on it when I'm getting out.
BTW, what's going on with that emblem on your rear center cap?
