Don't have alot of side shots of the car, but this shows the factory trim pieces, rear diffuser (matte) with gloss wheels.

OneBadLT - Looks great man! I love the contrast. I have a body color, factory ZR1 spoiler... I don't think I'll change that. Are your wheels originally chrome and you dipped them? The only difference I see here is my setup will have the gloss black wheels.

Ironically I am looking at getting gloss black C7 ZR1's on the car eventually.

Thanks! I would leave the factory spoiler on. The skirts and splitter match the factory rear diffuser piece pretty good. Not an exact match but very, very close. The wheels I have are the factory centennial edition wheels that came on the 2012 CE GS's. They come in the matte finish. They are original ordered from GM back in the day, however I did have chrome ones from the factory.

Love that matte look!

jchappies,
I am getting ready to install my EOL side skirts (similar to yours). They are the plain black primer type. It appears the screws go into the lower rocker panel, not from underneath. Is that how yours was attached too using several self-tapping screws? Did you use the 2-sided tape too?

I'm really having anxiety about drilling into the rocker for skirts that don't fit that well. What are the options with the other brands? Are there any that drill in from the underside?

Getting everything to fit is a fight, you’re getting parts to go where they We’re not initially designed to go. There’s a lot of interpretation for location. My front splitter required to heat gun and an hour or so to get it to fit where I was content.

Hey NSF,
Your car looks awesome with the EOS side skirts. So much so, that I had to order me some for my 13 GS. I have a question for you though. My trying to install my now and I applied the tape between the screws as shown in the instructions. When I stand back and look at it, I can see the tape and that just doesn’t look good at all. I haven’t drilled holes and put any screws yet. I’m wondering if this is normal. I would appreciate any advise you could share on this subject.
Thanks,
KMBVETTE
