Thanks for all the pics and thoughts. I think I’m gonna go with ZO7 style and a poverty splitter up front. It just evens to really balancd well on the stingray. Now just need to decide to do CF or ABS and paint vs leave bare. Anyone have problems with install and the cooling lines on the Z51?

I bought the same ones. Mine are about a 1/2" short on the rear side, tried to contact the seller but no response and I put them on 6 months after buying them. Should have installed them sooner but I eventually plan to make them the right length with some fiberglass, but they don't look that bad so they are good enough for now.

Reminds me of the barber when I get a haircut! Often trying to get the sideburns even by looking from the front. Have to remind him that one ear is ~1/4 inch lower so just make then to the same spot for each ear! No one will try to compare both sides from the front!

Not a fan of 3/4 Side Skirts...They just look odd to me...
I have Z51 style carbon flash painted side skirts from C7Carbon...
C7 Corvette TURISMO Side Skirt Set Carbon Flash

Another fan of ACS Zero1 here! Looked at dozens of photos before ordering. I liked the more subtle look. But I'm finding it hard to take a good photo of a black slightly curved surface . . .

I ended up with the ACS Zero7's . They look great and where they go in helps with getting in and out of the car.

They've already been "tested" a few times driving over roads that have been freshly paved with new asphalt and gravel here...The sound of loose asphalt and gravel chips hitting the underside and wheel wells is horrible sounding...That said, I haven't even had one chip or scratch appear along the lower rockers so the side skirts are protecting the paint quite well...
I'm very pleased I have these installed!

I just put the JWM Carbon Fiber Z06 Style Side Skirt and Stage 2 Front Splitter on mine. I have the Carbon Fiber Roof so they really go with the car. I love the look. First picture is before the side skirts and front splitter obviously.

The side skirts seem to extend out far enough to provide protection against chips...I really don't see the need to extend out any further than they currently do...
