Holy crap - mine's gonna like that, except the rockers. I ordered black wheels. Not sure if that rear spoiler is the same or bigger?
Can anyone tell me what rockers those are. Mine will come with the 3/4 rockers.
Rob - are those those the rockers you ordered aftermarket?
Can't tell if those are what I ordered. I ordered from C7 Carbon the carbon fiber exposed. It is the GTX Carbon Fiber exposed on their site. The one's I tried to go CHEAP with showed up with chips on edges, defects in weave, & one was warped & wouldn't lay flat even! After more research (DOH!) they use something not even close to REAL carbon fiber. They went back next day & the vendor was quick to send (immediately) a return label & said I could get refund so they were good, just pitiful product. I will be selling my unopened 3/4 skirts from Bowling Green. Installed the "wings" on the rear spoiler this a.m. too using supplied bolts & tape which was installed, just peeled backing off & easy peasy. Just don't get silly with torque, only requires 5 Nm (right at only 44" lbs or 3.69 ft lbs. Good luck getting good sleep till it's delivered!
Can't haul that river boat with this! Good thing I have the F-150 4x4 for that & winter!
Here's some pics! Washed it this a.m. & drying even with high priced Griot's drying cloths, poor job of drying without leaving spots. My '16 had CarPro franchise shop in Missouri paint correct & ceramic coat. You didn't have to do any pressure & water just sucked up in same towels I used this a.m. Sent them an email earlier asking for a quote for paint correction/ceramic using CQuartz Professional. My paint is damn good compared to the '16 but it can always be improved over factory by getting rid of high/low ridges. I am stoked that it will be frigging incredible. Car is in garage on 4 jack stands! In a.m. I will install some front splash guard, put the Borla (removed from '16) on, & the CAGS solenoid. I'll just leave it on jacks & hope my exposed CF skirts come in Wed as scheduled! Might as well get all that protection on. Supposed to rain here off/on all coming week so just as well.
Damn, those last two pics throwing off some gorgeous cherry red. Hubba Hubba !!

Thanks Rob. Great info!! Do they make a full length version that matches the other stuff? Is "carbon flash" the correct term? Will try to sleep. Taking on some liquid sedative as I type

Carbon flash is what the trim on flash mirrors & vent in hood, & other black pieces are & yes those (skirts) come in carbon flash.Exposed CF (carbon fiber) has a “weave “ pattern of a faded whitish color. Never had chrome wheels or exposed CF. If I like it I’ll also get the front splitter same.

Yeah mine as well. Those are the stage 2 rockers.
If it looked that red all the time I'd love it. Just seems like only looks like that some of the time.

Those stage 2 rockers look bad ***. Anyone got linkie to aftermarket purchase? I prefer the same color as the other OEM stuff - Carbon Flash.
Yes, LB Red won't look as good in poor lighting conditions, but that's the nature of the darker reds. That is the very reason they replaced Monterrey Red with Crystal Red Metallic 2007 / 2008. Everything is a compromise

thanks Rob Wish I could get some o them new car nose hits
Looks great without the skirts, but you have to have them for protection. Car looks fantastic, good luck with it and have fun.
SOB!!! Exposed carbon fiber full length skirts came today. When UPS guy slid box to back of truck I could see the end flap had been neatly cut off exposing the nicely padded skirts! When I tilted the box the skirts slid right out. I'm thinking, Geeze these are going to be damaged & hardware had disappeared-DOH! But upon unwrapping, they were perfect & beautiful! Took out to car, laid them up to install position (car has been sitting on 4 jack-stands for 5 days waiting after I put on the Borla). WTF!!! They were 1 1/2" too long & didn't follow the car's lines! Emailed company with pics of skirts & few minutes later they said OOPS, those are for a CAMARO. Bottom line now I have to wait till more are produced (2 weeks). The white padded packing foam had the correct order # written on it & so did the shipping label but wrong ones in the box. Whatever happened to QC. All I got was a genuine apology but no offer of anything else like a discount would have been nice on the ones coming for $750. They are sending return shipping label but I have to get more packing material 'cause I know if they return to them damaged they'll want me to pay! Have window tint & Jake stinger install for next Wed. & paint correction/CarPro CQuartz professional scheduled in Springfield, Mo. on 1 July but having to drive w/o skirts is aggravating (I did install frt. splash guards). OK, I'm thru ranting! I won't mention Vendor if this is resolved SATISFACTORILY & if all goes well not at all.
