Skirting the issue

So had a little free time today and installed the GM Carbon Flash 3/4 side skirts.

Been on the fence between 3/4 and full but got such a great deal, I picked up the 3/4’s.

Not to bad, about an hour total.

Now on to the spoiler, but that’s another day.

Also just picked up the transparent top, love the view.

Really looks nice, I prefer the 3/4 skirts.
Are the clear tops fairly quite?

I like it a lot - the side skirts really set the car off.

Looks great! Does anyone know if the width of the 3/4 and full are the same? I have the 3/4 and was thinking of going full but I can’t tell if they are as wide?

Hard to tell from the pictures, but I was surprised at the width, when you look at it, they are pretty wide.

First time I have had it on my C7, but have had several other ones with the clear top and I can’t say there is any really difference.

I've found no difference in sound with clear tops on either my C7 or my C5 (I still have). Too many other sources of sound all the time, imho.

I prefer the 3/4 skirts. I installed the z06 skirts on my Z and wish I had done the 3/4 instead. I feel that the 3/4 give the car a look that it has "hips" I may end up picking up a set and swap them out. Only my opinion.
