FWIW, for a drill depth guide use a piece of small rubber hose (like windshield washer hose) and cut to allow only the required depth needed.

I see you offer two options for base Stingrays: the "JWM C7 Stingray Carbon Fiber Side Skirts" and the "Carbon Fiber C7 Z06 Z07 Style Side Skirts"

http://jwmotorsportsllc.3dcartstores...rts_p_346.html

http://jwmotorsportsllc.3dcartstores...ray_p_349.html

What is the difference between the two? I can't really tell since the Z07 style has no pics on a car.

Does anyone know if these fit with ACS front splash guards without modifications? How is the fitment at the front side skirts with the ACS guards? Gap or no gap?

They’re available in abs too. I just realized I never added them to the site. Price is $225.99 shipped in unpainted abs. Pm to purchase until I get them added to the site.

Transmission cooling lines

I'm installing on a 2015 base Stingray with the A8. Just want to make sure there are no cooling lines on the drivers side and I can use the longer screws.

Thanks in advance.

Drill carefully and you'll be fine.

Here is a good procedure I found in another thread
