Default Splash guards, splitters, side skirts help

Getting my Xpel tomorrow on my new Z06 and plan on buying and getting Installed and at Carsile in 3 weeks of splash guards, splitters and side skirts all in carbon fiber and know nothing on all the different ones but love the look. Hoping I can do in Carsile but guess I could buy and install. Any advice would be great and appreciate it. Tom

Buy and install yourself. There are a lot of good DIY threads on these topics.

I agree, purchase and take your time in installing them yourself, beside what better way the break in those new tools in?

It's easy peasy….Just unbolt stock screws, mount the part & screw back in. Some use rivet for extra protection but that's overkill IMO. I just use 3m double tape for the side skirt mid area. There's a lot of how to on YouTube.
