It has been suggested here that the C7 Stingray look better with straight side skirts rather then the Z06 style. Reasoning given, profile of the Z06 vs the Stingray make the difference. Visiting my local Chevy dealership, I have only seen the Z06 and Z51 with side skirts on. Don't know if the tire size vs Z06/Z51 would make much of a difference.
I have a torch red (like yours) Z51. I added side skirts mainly for protection (I live on a chip seal road) but I also like the looks. I then added the "poverty" splitter to complete the look. It appears that you've added front spats and Z06 style tranny/diff inlets so they would be consistent with the look you are going for. They won't do anything for street performance. If I'm going fast enough on the street for them to make a difference I'm not turning the wheel...
cuffs or no cuffs on your slacks; doesn't really add/detract, more a matter of taste and since that really doesn't affect performance I will save the few pennies I have for that which adds to the driving experience.....
Wonder if the Wide Whitewalls "in the day" will come back? Mine were add-ons in 'my '41 Coupe. Wonder if they make them in 19's and 20's?
Mabe Wide Whitewalls Will make a Comeback!
I really dislike the large side skirts that most people have shown here. I decided to put side skirts on for the side protection they provide but went with a "minimalist" skirt from RPI (Stage One) and love the look they provide along with a "poverty" front splitter. Obviously your car looks great without them but I think they add a nice frame to the bottom of the car. Just saying...

I have a lot of black/carbon flash going on so for my car I thought they where a plus. I certainly think the car looks awesome without as well, very personal choice.

I don't track my corvette so I was told not to add side skirts. I understand opinions are subjective and subjected to individual taste. I am asking your opinions if side skirts would add to the physical aesthetics of my car as it appears now. Or, would they be considered over dressing? Thanks✌
For now after all of your comments, I decided to just add a set of Z06 Rear Mud Guards to compliment the front wheel moldings.

I continue to be amazed at how many people add side skirts just to keep from getting a few rock chips, when they are aerodynamically non-functional on the street, and don't really look very good..
Even if I end up trading my Stingray for a GS, I will tell the dealer not to install the side skirts.
The front splitter, however, seems to complete the look for the front end. Though I like the look of the splitter, Stage 2 and 3 are a bit of overkill too.
