Give this a look. Good info. You don't need carbon fiber. Carbon fiber and carbon flash are two different things. Carbon flash is a color.
I love my ACS.

You don't -need- carbon fibre, but it sure looks nice. That's what I have (Caravaggio). Here's a pic with just the side skirts and no front splitter added yet.

I got RPI Designs side skirts painted body color for my LBR Z06 to match my body colored vents. High quality paint and product, about $630 including shipping with a forum discount. Best deal I have found. They recommend installing with screws which I found a good idea if you ever might want to remove them. --Bob

That's my 'ricer' side with the Halltech CF CAI. I liked the emblem and actually have received comps on how it blends in. 700 to the crank of course.

Check mine out. If you like them I'll have my guy contact you. He has many options and they are much more durable than others offer and are custom made and a fraction of the cost.

I went with the ACS Side Rockers for my Z06 (in Satin Black paint to match the front splitter.) They were installed by 503 Motoring at the time they had my car for the Xpel Stealth install. I've only had them on for a couple hundred miles but I have no complaints so far.

Bob,

Is there a discount code somewhere you put in when ordering the RPI Designs side skirts?

Thanks,

Mike

From searching, I see that there > 10% off at certain times of the year (ie. Father's Day, etc.)

IF a LABOR DAY 12-15% sale is coming up, I WILL be purchasing!! RPI are you listening??
