Default Best looking side skirts

In your opinion, what are the best looking side skirts?

Having a Z51 C8, will it look complete if I just add side skirts?

Looking to get them in carbon flash to match the rest of the trim, i really want CF but don't want to spend $2k+

are they using to install, should just bolt up and not over tighten them right?

a pic of my C8 for reference


Edit: Thanks guys I bought the EOS 5vm front lip and skirts and the diffuser fins in carbon flash as you can see below

Got mine from (EOS) Extreme Online Store Intalled myself which involves bolton some double face tape and some pop riverts. It was a pretty easy job.

I have the EOS front spoiler. Excellent fit and quality and will be buying the 5VM side skirts in Carbon Flash shortly.

Z06 replica side skirts look the best IMO, some brands look better than others.

If you get side skirts caron flash, IMO it will look incomplete if you dont change out that splitter to a carbon flash one. You can get combo set for less than 1k

I always liked my Verus ones, more of a functional look in a matte carbon finish, quite subtle. It is just a flat panel that extends out, uses rivnuts to install

I like those, very subtle and exotic. No extra wings and changing body lines

Just installed these today. From Ebay; burningdesign. they fit good, not perfect, but carbon parts are like that.
Skirts are a complex shape, hard to fit everything.
