I got mine from EOS. Pretty easy - just drill some holes, self tapping screws and 3M tape.

I went with ACS and love them. The install is easy, there's a few bolts and then just drill some holes and rivet into place. You'll need a rivet gun which you can get at home depot for under $15. The rivets come with the skirts.

Purchased mine from RPI Designs. Not difficult to install at all, but I did have to elongate the front mounting hole a bit to allow the side skirt to be centered on the side of the car. Just used screws and some plastic rivets to secure the skirt to the car.

I got mine from Southern Car Parts but they are manufactured by American Car Craft. They are 22 Gauge Stainless Steel with Carbon/Fiber Glass Overlay.They come with 3M tape already applied and there's no drilling needed, the skirts come pre-drilled to use existing bolts. Installation instructions on ACC website.

These are made in Canada. Do you know if they can be bought in Csnada? Would save the hassle with customs

Purchased mine from C7carbon.com. Great fit, easy to install without jacking up car. Uses existing screws and tape. I got them on sale at a very reasonable price for true carbon fiber. Would recommend.

I got the C7-CCC7-Z06-SS-CF. They are currently on sale for $689.08. Very good quality, I have had them on the car for about 18 months. They look just like the day I put them on. Goes really well with my Shark Gray coupe. I also have some CF covers in the engine compartment to match.

My skirts are pretty much level with the bottom of the car. At most you lose 3/4" of ground clearance. Which is about the same as a set of leave in jacking pucks.

I purchased a set from Cajun @ Edgyvette (forum vendor) at a good price. They are made by C7Carbon and have the ZO6 style done in carbon flash. Very pleased!!!

I agree with all that recommend C7 carbon. I ordered the GTX CF exposed, put them on today & they are a work of ART! So impressed with ease of install & beauty. So impressed I immediately came in after install & ordered the GTX CF exposed splitter with small winglets. I couldn’t stop looking at them under the light in living room & went out to garage several more times just to look at ‘em on the car 🚘 today. Changed 500 miles oil, put on Carbotechs ceramic pads, skirts, washed it after skirts put on & tomorrow is SUNNY 😎 & will take a long drive to let everybody see it too! PS: Only drawback is they can take couple of weeks to produce but was lucky the splitter was ready to ship!
