I mounted my ACS Zero 7 rocker skirts today. My friend has a nice lift in his home shop...made the job easy. Only took us about 45 minutes total time. Went with the carbon flash to match the vents. These pics probably aren't the best as its cloudy today but I think they look great!


















Almost forgot I did this a few weeks ago. got the idea from another CF member who added some wording of some kind in this area. You can see it only while seated in the car.

Looks great. Did you do the front splitter also?

No not yet....I'm not sure I will, still considering it. I'm not really all that impressed with the look of the front splitter due primarily to the "fangs" and I think the reduction in approach angle clearance is a big negative. We'll see, I've never seen one in person so I may order one in and hold it in place somehow so I can make a decision before mounting. Then If I don't like it maybe I can send it back.

Looks good, thinking of adding them to my car too. Did you drill extra holes or use 2 sided tape ?

they mount using 5 stock bolts and 10 or so pop rivets each side. So yes drilling is required....I don't think I'd trust tape for this install.

Looks great. I also have the Crystal red. Gives me something else to think about. I really love the red paint on the transparent top. Is that after market or done at the factory.

It's not the transparent top. It's the visible carbon fiber, that's the way they come.

The rocker skirts look really good. As for the lettering on the cowl, not to my taste, but your opinion is the only one that really counts.

Beautiful car BTW.

I will eventually get tired of it and take it off or change it to something else....just something fun for my passengers.
