I have been researching a looking at side skirts for my C7 for a while and see that there are many manufacturers out there. I prefer the Z06 style side skirts and wanted to get some recommendations regarding the best quality, price and ease of installation. I understand that some drilling will be required, but looking to do the minimal but want to secure them with screws as opposed to tape. I prefer the side skirts and splitter to be in carbon flash. Thanks!!

ACS Composites. Highly recommend, And have top quality parts. No double sided sticky tape in this setup.

Joe the owner is very professional and easy to work with.

Jake, I like the side skirts on your car. How do they attach? Are they quite solid. I have looked at the ones that screw and rivet on and they are heavy.
thanks,

I agree ^^^^^ 10,000 miles and still looking great. What ever direction you go, I highly recommend having them wrapped in Xpel or similar product. These area will take a lot of abuse, mine still look new

I'm very happy with the C7 Carbon set of Z06 style "GTX" side skirts and splitter. You do NOT have to drill holes for the skirts, however I chose to add 3 plastic scrivits on each side..... super easy, took all of an additional 5 minutes. If you don't want to drill holes, just use some 3M double back tape as others have shown in earlier replies.

My set is the exposed Carbon Fiber, but they also make other sets in painted Carbon Flash, or painted.

Drilled rockers, riveted and used high strength adhesive for extra support. Done. You can use a sticker on your car if you want. There's nothing wrong with drilling and guaranteeing stability.

Z06 style look the best on our Z51. Matter of personal opinion.

I also went with the C7 Carbon GTX style. Reasonable pricing and easy install.

Thanks for all the replies. Will a splitter lower the front significantly? I have some concern regarding the front scraping when pulling out of my driveway. The air dams underneath already scrape so I don't want to do damage to a splitter.

depends on the splitter > toss the useless POS stock air deflector

C7Carbon.com GTX Z06 style side skirts....DIY paint in Carbon Metallic Mist, front "GM OEM" C7 Splitter. Total cost under $500 painted for all pieces.

Used OEM GM screws to mount both side skirts and front splitter and added a few more plastic scrivets to secure even tighter.

^ splitter needs paint

No "WTF needed" C7Jake .

I painted the side skirts, not the splitter as you can clearly see from the images posted. Relax Jake, drink a cold one.

bare poverty splitter looks faded from the scorchin' desert sun

OEM GM Front Splitter is like new....C7 is garaged when not driven 100% of the year.

I always park the C7 with the front not facing the sun, so it does not get faded in the sun and I don't get stupid posts from forum members about it fading.

I only drive the C7 West in the mornings and East in the afternoons.

skirts > 3M tape to rockers
splitter > 10 holes drilled for scrivets
existing bottom screws also used for skirts/splitter
