I like the stage II and III rear spoiler but not the front nor side skirts. I also think in my case the side skirts would look odd (pearl silver wheels and body colored vents of the twilight blue design package) I dont feel like im missing anything? Very tough aa i WANT to want the side skirts but dont think they'll match this car.
I see in some Z06 owner photos that some of you guys don't use side skirts on your cars. What advantage if any does not having side skirts on your Z06 give you? My Z06 is being built and I went with Stage 1 ground effects all the way around but I will definitely have the dealer install the 3/4 side skirts. Thanks Dave
My number one reason 3500 dollars is a lot of money for some plastic add ons. They do serve a purpose they stop rock chips.

No advantage...would depend on which option packs were ordered. In my case, I wanted the stage 1 rear spoiler, with skirts...and dealer wasn't able to build that way...so I ordered the skirts / splitter and stage 3 winglets from ACS instead.
For me, there is NO WAY I would ever own this car without the entire ground effects kit, from a styling perspective.
Did you install the rear diffuser? Where did you get it?
"Side skirts" on performance cars serve a much bigger function than purely as rock-catchers.
They have aero properties...in particular, as a means to increase downforce.

1) Less weight
2) One fewer area to get rock chips from the road
3) They stick out too far and always catch pant leg.
4) Less $$$$.00
I love the skirtless look. Sucks they're needed for rock chip protection, even with paint protection film.
Out of all the skirts, I prefer the ACS Zero1 Side Rockers, but they don't stick out really far (which is what I like) and they hug the body closer....but they mitigate the idea of having full protection.
Oh well. Decisions, decisions...
If forced, I'll get the 3/4 skirts, though I really don't want to.
Red Dave you are correct the 2017 Z06 and the Grand Sport both models come with the standard front splitter and side rocker skirts which are shipped separate to the dealer and installed by the dealer.
Looks great on your Vette. What's under the hood is what really makes the car for me
Bragging rights Paul. 650hp utilized on the Commonwealth's highway's, not..... That said, there is the seat of the pant's stimulation via a supercharger.....
