ACS is best for z06 style side skirts. Cheapest place to purchase is through RPI website (with their discount code)

Stage 1 front splitter (plastic one) can be purchased from forum vendor Trunkmonkey for like 100$

Now IF you want both to be painted in carbon flash, PM Performance Corvette (Johnny@performancecorvettes.com) and tell them Bui sent you. They quoted me 950$ shipped for both, pained carbon flash. You should be able to get the same range give or take.

Can't go wrong with Katech or LG Motorsports packages.

Lots of other good options though.

I ordered a set from C7 Carbon.

They look great, and the only modification I had to do was to drill a hole on the rear of both skirts.

Easy installation, and plenty of threads in here with instructions from fellow members.























Remember with the Stage 2-3 the front will be lower.

C7 Carbon for me.. in Carbon fiber weave... looks amazing... BLACK rims complement the ground effects as they do not cause too much brightness from wheel area...
Supposed to improve downforce.. but really for rocker panel protection and looks in most cases...
check out their BUNDLE pricing... hard to beat...

It alternates from time to time, but last time I checked it was RPIDON

A quick google search for "RPIDESIGN Discount" or something of the like will give you the answer you need

C7carbon.com a CF vendor was my choice. They are the Z06 style which matches the ACS branded side skirt.

I don't think anybody can beat the C7carbon.com price.
Contact at C7carbon.com is Andwar and he really takes care of the CF members which many can attest too.
