Side Skirts
After getting some comments from valued friends about intalling side skirts on my car, I wanted to see how they look in person. Since I have not seen any on the C7 in my area, I guess I will settle for what photos forum members will share.
If it is all posible, can you share close up photos of your side skirts? I mainly would like to see if they are flat or do they have a slight angle downward and how much they extend from the kicker panel. thank you..

RPI Z06 style, fiberglass with carbon flash. you can get them in real carbon fiber but if they get damaged, they're not repairable like fiberglass. Install alignment only uses one existing factory screw in front, so need a helper to get the alignment & drilling going. Drill holes for about a dozen screws on each side. I was a bit squeamish about drilling into the rocker panel, but it's the same way the Z06 OEM skirts are installed by the PDI guy at the dealer. They are not installed at the factory.

Anyone sell cheap side skirts the same color and material as the cheapie Z06 splitter? I wouldn't mind putting some on to prevent more rock chips but everything is $500+ with crazy shipping.

Z06 Stage II from RPI
I bought the straight edge skirts from RPI already painted in carbon flash metallic. You need to drill about 10 holes (1/8") on each rocker panel for installation. These were far less $$$ than the carbon fiber types and I personally like the straight look over the curved Z07 styles.
