C7 Carbon order
I just ordered my set of GTX splitter and GTX side skirts from C7 Carbon this afternoon after talking to a gentleman named Anwar. Very knowledgeable and great source of information to help me with my order. I actually ordered 2 sets. 1 for my C7 2014 cyber grey and 1 for my wife's 2015 DSOM that production was started on today!! Follow up when everything is here and put on. I feel that the PRODUCT and THE PRICE are the best that I've found.

Was it as easy as the salesman (Anwar) said it would be? Did you use the double stick tape on the end of the side skirts closest to the back tires or did you drill? Can't wait to see some pics 😊😊

Wasn't happy to lose Cyber Grey so on our 2015 we decided to go a little opposite and get back into the Orange shade as our '72 we ordered was Onterio Orange. ��. ��

Here are a couple shots of my car with the C7 Carbon GTX splitter and side skirts installed. The side skirt installation was easy. Rather than drilling holes in the body, I elected to supplement the existing bolts with 3M double-sided tape.
I thought the GTX front splitter would be even easier because I was installing it at the same time I installed the Z06 grille. But that wasn't the case. Some of the predrilled holes in the splitter did not match up exactly with the existing bolts on the underside of the front bumper cover. I compensated for the variance by drilling out the holes in the splitter.

AWESOME!!!!! Thanks for the pics and info! Do you feel the tape will do the job? I will say that the front splitter looks a little bigger than I thought it would. Any idea how much lower the front is now for possible bottoming out on driveways and such?
Thanks again for all the info!

Yes, I think the double-sided tape will be sufficient. I just couldn't get comfortable with the idea of drilling holes in our brand spankin' new Vette. If you have any doubts, 3M makes an industrial strength double-sided tape that's available thru Amazon, however it's expensive!

After the $ for our 2 babys I'm not going to worry about the $ so I don't have to drill on these AWESOME CARS!!!!!!
