C7 Carbon and RPI Mods Installed.
I finally received all my parts from C7 Carbon (splitter, sideskirts, rear spoiler) and RPI (C7 flags) and installed them in one of our Club members garage/shop yesterday.
We followed Jagagamaraman's Video, but we were able to pull the rear bumper back enough to drill the holes after the lights were removed. So no need to disconnect the trunk latch (we couldn't figue it out anyways).
Rear lights removed
CF Rear spoiler installed
Next was the Z06 grill from RPI and C7 Carbon Splitter and attached side splitters. We removed the front bumper...
..and installed the Z06 grill and C7 splitter and side splitters AND the hydrocarbon C7 flags. Easy Peasy
Some photos with all the parts installed.
I'm pretty happy with the look. The parts from C7 Carbon were a breeze to install with no issues whatsoever. RPI's parts were the same. I still have to replace the chrome stingray emblems with the hydrocarbon stingray logos and rear corvette logo.

awesome!! How did you install the rear spoiler? Did you guys already have a template? I just ordered the 3 parts from C7 carbon as well, but need to order template for the spoiler install
Very nice!

No we didn't have a template, but we were able to line it up based on the position of the rear brakelight housing. We put blue painters tape over the rear spoiler area and used a magic marker to draw lines around the bolts. Turns out, the blue tape keeps the drill bit from moving, but be sure to drill a small pilot hole first. After that everything went well.

Looks great!
No Z06 tail lights while you had it apart?
