I went with American Hydrocarbon and have no problem recommending them, quality & fit-finish are great. If you want something custom they will make it happen. It does look like Covid/supply chain/inflation have caused the prices to creep up a bit.

i was wondering...the website was a bit crude but i've heard others say the products are pretty good. was debating to pick up these side skirts... i saw they have two options 'no hole drilled in side', and on with a hole drilled... which did you get? how was installation? i've watched videos ad-nauseum but you know...

When I got mine there was only one option, with the bolt (reproduction of oem). I was hesitant to drill the hole so I installed them using the rivets and 3m UHB double sided tape on the wing. Apparently the bonded interface was under tension because after about a week the wing separated from the panel (yes the surfaces were properly prepared). So, I pulled them back off and reinstalled them using the bold as the gm engineers designed it to. All too now. There are guys on here that have had success using the rivet & tape method but it gives me piece of mind knowing that I won’t have a high speed break up causing extra damage beyond the side skirt.
I really like the new 1VM skirt…. And there is no drilling of the side panel.
AG Motorsports for me. They manufacture their own CF from the ground up. The quality and appearance is incredible....personally, I wanted a complete CF product and not a laminant

Love the Products Bought From Forum Platinum Vendor C7 Carbon.
Here are some pics and a PDF with may pics/long captions on How To and a comparison with GM much more complex install: http://netwelding.com/Side_Skirts.pdf
C7 Carbon splitter Installed on 2014 C7. It comes in real Carbon Fiber cloth as an optional finish (not fake printed.) Matched my OEM Visible CF Roof. Their packaging is supper, needed for big parts. My 2017 Grand Sport Rear Diffuser Looked Great. It was painted carbon flash.
Ordered my C8 5VM in painted carbon flash. perfect finsih. Looks new after 16 months!
Packaging again excellent!
Since it is made from fiberglass it is thicker than the OEM carbon fiber and more ridged. It does not need the bolt requiring drilling in the rear fender or the strong 3M adhesive required by GM. The bottom rivets (also needed for the GM install) is all that is needed. I decided to add the 3M tape BUT not really needed.
