Default Side skirts

I need recommendations on side skirts for my Arctic White Stingray.
Where from, and how much?

Prefer the Z06 style, in carbon flash.
Thanks!

Southern Car Parts offers the ones with the accent strip and they are not too expensive. I view the rocker skirt more for protection of the lower rocker area than as an aero aid...

Personally, for the weight saving versus CF, i think CF is a waste of money that is hardly noticable... for some of us, me included, i would worry more about my own waistline, than that of the weight on the car.
Although i do like the "look" of the weave.

How are they installed? Any drilling involved?

Thanks

^^^ Usually there is no drilling involved-you use the existing OEM screws. They also have double sided tape on them.

Buy the Z06 style that trims back toward the car near the rear front fender. Had mine on for one week. I have come close to catching my shoe heal twice.

Notice the added cheapo splitter too. I want a Z51 sway bar for Christmas for my 2015, then I will be very happy. I may stop this madness then.

Flash. I painted the front and had the skirts pre-painted because it was cheaper that way.

C7 Carbon skirts are great and easy to install using original 3 front screws and 2 rear screws with 2 rolls of 1" wide x 15 ' 3M tape on my Z06 with no drilling

I had to drill and mount mine. Life time commitment.

I used Lashway Motorsports. Holes needed some minor adjusting with a Dremel tool but was easy and product is of good quality. Use existing holes plus two sided tape. Been on for almost a year and no problems. Solid as a rock.

C7Carbon does great work at a great price. I can't wait to install my CF Z06 skirts once the splitter arrives
