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.


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

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.

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

Oh ****, didn't know that about the CE GS's. When you part ways with the matte ones, tag me or DM me. I'll happily buy them from you.

Love that matte look!

Got it done last weekend, they went on well and I am happy. If I had to nit pick I would say that they need to redo the instruction manual (awful). And how difficult would it be to realign the dimples in the front of each skirt? That said, for the money I am very happy and would recommend. How did you make out and what do you think?

These parts aren’t my cup of tea but the body color match looks better than the others.

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?

Is it just me or is the fitment terrible on the skirts? The front splitter is close but even that is off by quite a lot. I completely removed my front facia so I can flip it over and get the holes lined up right.

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

Hi KMB: Thanks for the compliment. I pretty much watched this guys video and followed his advice as much as I can remember, and as I remember the end holes had to be elongated for good fitment, needs to be moved around somewhat to get a good tight fit. I didn't use any tape whatsoever, well I did use the masking tape for marking the location of the holes, nerve racking to do but once installed they don't show.
Good luck just take your time and think what you are doing.
