Default Side skirts

So I am confused. If I do not opt for the carbon or carbon flash side skirts, what comes standard? Does anyone have a picture of both side by side.

I went with carbon flash since all of my other highlights on the car were carbon flash. I don't have comparison photos though.

I'll try to be more helpful. If you don't get the carbon fiber or carbon flash full length skirts (both are options $$$) you get carbon flash 3/4 length skirts standard. Like these. I actually like them a lot and wanted to save the money.

I did the same. Purchased GM Stage 2 Rear Spoilers and make the rear of the car pop. I may do Stage 2 front carbon flash splitter to finish it off at probably half the cost of factory full lengths Stage 2.

Stage 2 Rear spoiler is $200-$250 (two end pieces) - I did this the first day I got the car. The Stage 2 Front Splitter in Carbon Flash from ASC is about $900, side deflectors a little more... been eyeballing it for a while but have not purchased yet.

I just priced out the aero pack 1800$ mud flaps 400.
Carbon flash
Z06 splitter with S3 Deflectors
Zero 1 rockers

Or through Chevy the stage 2 is 3k but that's with rear spoiler as well.

I really like the carbon fiber stage III however the spoiler is still not carbon fiber and that's a $2500 option. So how will the car look with the splitter and rockers in carbon and the rear spoiler in flash?

Personally, with my WGGM body color, the carbon flash paint looks fantastic in contrast, so I am keeping my 3/4 side skirts, I have the carbon flash rear spoiler. I just need the $900+ carbon flash front only splitter (Stage 2/or 3) and I'll be set. To me that is 1/2 price and get the stage 2 looks. I believe when I built the car, it would have been a $2500+ option so I elected to go this route buying afterwards. I also just have the standard GM mud flaps on all 4 corners.

I have the same. Do you know how it is mounted? Reason I ask is the dealer mounted mine and it is not even on both sides. I'm wodering if there is double faced tape as well as the bolts and if it is easy to realign?

I watched a video from ACS and there is double sided tape and screws.

So I just spoke with Joseph at ACS. Here is the break down. If you deduct the stage III deflector the price will drop $379. So basically it's $2000 versus 3000 from Chevy. The problem is I would have to get all the stuff installed five hours of labor at probably $100 per hour. So really I'm not saving much.

2365$ S3 splitter, deflectors, rockers, and rear S3 spoiler upgrade
2545$ same as above with undertray

Mine where factory ordered, believe they use supplied rivets when installed at the dealership.
