Default Adding skirts?

Guess I’m bored....wanting a good exterior mod for my 05 base. Not looking for more performance, just visual change. Looking at the ABS skirts on ebay. I’d like material that matches the look of the ABS GM splash guards.

I have several 4d carbon vinyl accents on the car (halo, spoiler, and couple others) and don’t want to introduce real carbon to contrast the vinyl not to mention, I don’t think adding more carbon textures is needed.

Any one have experience with Extreme on line with eBay? The skirts look good, have install hardware and have instructions.

my fear is they will look like cheap add-on items and not enhance the exterior.

Here she she is currently:

The splash guards in the attach pics are gone. Currently I have the OEM splash guards installed

Every body addition I have purchased has been from C7Carbon (a forum sponsor here). When I dealt with them, they had great customer service, very communicative, and the body pieces fit 99% right out of the box. Check them out.

Those don't look like the usual GM splash guards. I've never seen those before.

A whole lot of members have installed these, including myself.

I've installed 4 sets of the ABS skirts from extreme online store and they are all great. They are also a forum vendor.

Edit: they usually come with self tapping screws but no instructions.

I didn't see where you said you no longer have the ones pictured. All I see is "Here she is currently".
You may want to check out RPI skirts. They look great and fit perfect.
