Default Side skirts or ???

My C8 is at MacMulkin was going to pick it up and drive back to Florida. Wife said nope. Intercity is going to ship. That’s fine. Todd sent me some pics today. Am I just just being extremely happy to see pics of my car after 14 months or is there side skirts on my car ? Only options I ordered were adjustable exhaust and carbon flash side mirrors painted

Looks like body color rockers, without the rocker panel protectors. You’re all good. You should tell the wife unless she’s paying intercity that you’re driving it back! Reclaim your pants! East coast is absolutely gorgeous.

Those are indeed the standard rocker panel skirts. Congrats on the new car!

She brought up bad roads and climate. And added the cost to fly up and pick up cost and driving back gas and hotel costs. Along with I’m busy as heck and loss of work even though I’m self employed

No seems to be standard- had a base c8 with only exhaust and front/rear splitter that came with these too. I was surprised as well.

I was going to drive Atlantic City to Florid, but I wanted to have the XPEL installed first. It’s so much cheaper down here and Florida has the best tint, wrap, PPF installers. It nearly offsets the cost, plus no airline flights and no boring, cruise control, highway miles when I’m breaking in the car. Ship it.

You don't have anything special added. All C8's look like that. It's the standard design of the rocker panel.

No, those are the standard rockers. The only option is the rocker extensions, which are a textured black cover. This is what it looks like … it is not body colored.

Congrats on your car. Ship it, save your front end from rock chips, bugs, and anything else that can strike the front.
