Adding ZR1 skirts to my Lingenfelter GS... are OEM skirts solid or thin?
I'm looking to add ZR1 skirts to my 2012 Centennial GS and I'm noticing a lot of the aftermarket skirts are just a thin sheet of Carbon Fiber where I thought side skirts were always solid.
Are the OEM side skirts "solid" meaning they're a half inch thick or more or are they just a 1/8" thick like what I've seen from the aftermarket? Do they flex or anything if you were to hit something like a speedbump (I'm always approaching at an angle anyway so it would be rare).

Hey Leif, hope all is well. The OEM C6 ZR1 skirts are pretty thin...nothing I would consider spectacular at all. I've yet to have any issues with speed bumps, so I can't speak to that.
I saw on another post you're at 600+rwhp. What all have you done to the LPE GS?

I did NOT like the aftermarket FLARES(Mud Guards) that came with my KAPALINI Fiberglass Skirts
I bought the OE GM Flares for $216 (Trunk Monkey) See Below Link
I"m still wanting to learn how best to fasten these above skirts to my rockers.....I'm thinking RIVETS will be a pain
when and if I need to remove skirts for repair/repaint/????
Anybody ever think of using RIVNUTS into the Rocker Panels and then Stainless Button Head Allens into
the RIVNUTS???
