Not sure about the install, my dealer tech did it, but he said smooth sailing, no issues at all..

I never liked the look of skirts, but also didn't want the sides of my black vette peppered with stone chips. Bought G3 Carbon Stage 1 skirts that i believe compliment the Stingray's lines without becoming a focal point. I ran them with no front splitter at all for awhile, but have since added the GM "poverty" splitter, which i left unpainted. I really learned to love the look, and feel the skirts make the car look lower than it is, while doing a great job to keep the car's flanks perfect.

I have Carbon fiber on my white car and it looks weird. I much prefer carbon flash because it matches. Carbon fiber just looks more expensive.

Plus you can repaint carbon flash

Default I went cheap

and got the stage one splitter and side skirts (alittle over three bills for all three and another 2 bills to have them installed properly); simple black ABS plastic, looks good (not as good of course as your options) and much less concern with scraping, etc.

Not a clue. No markings on them or the packaging.

Love it! Carbon fiber skirts and soon Phase 2 CF front spoiler. Carbon Flash stage 3 spoiler.

I don't think we are allowed to give info like that here, but if you just do a search for C7 side skirts you will find them.

Total cost to paint and install the splitter and skirts was about $250-300. The version of the skirts I got had no predrilled holes, but the currently pictured ones in the listing do. That added to the install time.

I had the shop smooth the poverty splitter so it would match and had the Z06 grille installed and the cameras moved to the new grille, and the invoice I have doesn't have the labor costs broken down.

Artic white side skirt with poverty splitter. Simple, clean and good looking, in my opinion.
