Full width side skirts

I know there are lots of side skirts out there just like the OEM Chevy ones, but they all have the cut in area and everyone has them

I found 1 pair from LG Motorsports that have full width from front to back, but never got a reply back from the dude. Does anyone else make good looking full width wide side skirts for the Z06? I prefer carbon flash as that is what everything else is on the car, but will entertain full carbon.

Pictures would be helpful as well.

Not trying to steer you away from any, but the cut in helps with getting in and out of the car, without stepping on the side skirt. Just something to think about

Agree with that. Even with mine I still sometimes kick it despite the cutouts. But full width would be much tougher to get out of for me.--Bob

Absolutely correct.

Yeah, I thought about that as well for the full width, I just feel that gap still sends stuff into the air duct and the back fender. I just hate looking like everyone else

I just went through the same exercise on side skirts, wanting them for additional protection from rock chips also. A friend of mine just got a 2017 Z06 that came with the 3/4 length skirts. They come standard on 2017 Z06/Grandsports. I'm thinking GM did this for a reason which was to provide paint protection after getting complaints from 2015-2016 owners about paint chipping on the brake ducts/rear quarters. Anyway I was going to get some but the only choice is GM and they are too expensive in exposed carbon fiber and the after market companies will not be making them for a while. So I just ordered some aftermarket exposed carbon fiber full length skirts to match my exposed carbon fiber roof. You may be able to find someone with take off 3/4 length skirts. Good Luck

I looked at that option, I still don't think those 3/4 length ones are good enough and more of a stop gap. I think they look OK, but there again, everyone has them. They really should have sent those to all C7 Z06 owners knowing there is an issue, but you know GM...

Personally I think the 3/4 length skirts look like sh*t. I'd rather have none than those. I plan on a future museum delivery and I'll have them install ACS full length, non full width, carbon flash skirts.
