Default Side skirts choice: CF or body color?

Hey guys,
I finally decided to buy the side skirts but I can't decide which one to get. To me, they both look great and priced about the same. BTW, I won't get the front splitter because I don't want to damage it within a week or two. What would you guys buy if you are in my situation? Let's see some more pics!

You kinda have to go with your gut. I went with CF because I like the accent it gives around the bottom of the car.

I just ordered CF skirts and splitter from RPI for my Artic White Z06. I prefer the contrast. I dont think that there is a bad choice either way though.

I ordered the splitter and skirts from C7Carbon and they are great. I didn't want to go with CF because if I damage the splitter I did not want to drop another couple of hundred ever few months. They were painted Semigloss black and look great.

I didn't add them to my ZR1 but I do like the contrast against AW and exposed CF looks...

Thanks guys for your input! It seems to be more CF preference. I'm also leaning toward to CF because I just did 3M carbon fiber vinyl wrap on the roof. It should be good matching.

What color is your car? It is definately a personal choice and either way you will be happy with the end result. Mine are CF exposed from Katech. Post some pics once you decide and get them on.

My LMB is CF splitter & skirts. Just looks good IMHO and breaks up the color a little, but its still a personal choice. BTW, LMB is the best! :-)
