Side skirts installed!

Just installed my side skirts today. Before you guys ask about the chrome stingrays they are going To be replaced with black emblems soon. What do you guys think? Mods so far include z06 rep wheels, stinger stripe, wrapped roof and halo, drilled rotors, wrapped retainer in grill, tints, and finally skirts. Final mod will be full length spoiler which should arrive next week. Pretty big transformation in only 3 months of ownership.

After

What brand?

I am about to order the C7 Carbon GTX skirts and Z06 Stage 2 splitter today.

They all look almost identical anyway...

I am not really into mods. That said, I replaced the tire valve stem caps before my 2017 had fifty miles on the clock. I'm bad.

Much better look now.... looks great !!!

As stated above, go with the front splitter too to complete the look.

As for Boost Monkey's inquiry into brands...... I'm VERY HAPPY with my C7 Carbon's GTX side skirts. I got their Carbon Fiber finish, and matching front splitter.

I had them on our '16 Stingray, and when it was bought back by GM Engineering, I took them off and installed them on our new Grand Sport. Love the quality and fit.

OP looks really good. I love the side skirts of the C7. I am having a very difficult time putting them on my Z06. On the wide body in my color it doesn't do anything for the looks (to me). But on any Comoros C7 looks fantastic fills the lower part if the body such a nice addition.
