I'm pretty sure the answer is no, as most vendors will specifically state side skirts are compatible between GS, Z06 and ZR1 (not C6).

There are side skirts for the C6, they're just C6 specific. About the same price as the side skirts I just installed on my Lotus Exige. I really have neglected the Corvette lately.

You need the side skirts for the base C6 and the back plates, gurney flaps, splash guards whatever you wanna call them for the z06.

If you look at the car where the side skirts sits its under the rocker and the lower edge of the front fender on the wide cars the front fender is wider near the wheel well and at the rear the side skirts stay under the rocker which is the same on all models of the c6. But for the backing plate as it goes up the quarter the quarter get wider so you need the backing plates for the wider car.
