Default Installed Christmas gift - Wheel spats

My wife is the best - I have wanted these for years - since I got my car - I could just never justify the cost. The guilt was solved when she bought them for me for christmas She actually got them from the correct vendor to match some other CF things I put on the car so it was a complete surprise - I had a nice day weather wise yesterday so I put them on and really like them. - Before/After pics. ​​​​​​​

I'm looking to do these next on my Z06. Mine will be the carbon flash painted ones, though. How difficult was it?

very simple - I removed the wheels as i wanted to clean the calipers and have a little more room but its not necessary.......just 3 screws - 2 clips and some tape.......heres a video that walks you through it. Took me just over an hour and thats with removing wheels - it could be done in 30 min but i was in no rush and enjoying myself

NIcely done! I think they're a very nice upgrade over the factor plastic bits. Should be a factory option.

I prefer the spats, and in fact I like that look better than the ZR, but the cheap plastic doesn't help.

I’ll be doing them this weekend to carabon flash. How long did it take you? I have the front winglets as well that I’ll have to maneuver around. Looks great!
