Default Side Skirt Question

What are the more affordable front splitter / side skirt/rear diffuser kits out there? Looking for Carbon Flash and not Carbon Fiber. Not looking to drop 2.5K if thats even possible!

I bought mine in carbon flash from Platinum Forum vendor C7 Carbon.

Here is a link for ~$600 splitter:
https://c7carbon.com/corvette-c8-c-2...ers-c-224_234/

Search site for side skirts. Total ~$2000.
Here are some pics. Easier install than GM 5VM. This a detailed PDF: http://netwelding.com/Side_Skirts.pdf

Another vote for C7 Carbon. I paid a bit under $2300 for 5VM skirts and splitter three months ago.

ACS composite makes nice reasonably priced exterior mods in carbon flash. I installed a few of their pieces on my old C7 and quality and fit were both good.

+1 for ACS Composites. The carbon flash 5VM kit will run you just over $2500 I believe, but the quality and fit are perfect. You also do not have to drill a hole in the side for their kit like you do on some other kits.

I wanted minimalist side Skirt and in carbon flash. Couldn't find what I wanted or liked yet ended up with an plastic one that I wasn't carbon flash thoughts was to 3M wrap it but didn't. It's not bad still want it wrapped and it's still just plastic but it's fine because I don't have to worry about messing it up and is very minimal imperfections can't really be noticed.
