I am aware that the ZL1 side skirt is integrated with the rocker, and I agree that it makes no sense to be a ZL1 direct replacement. However, the Vicrez web site states "Direct OEM replacement", and the car pictured on their site is a ZL1. Just putting the question out there so that anyone reading this thread who plans to buy these side skirts (I'm considering them) isn't surprised when they receive them and they don't fit their non-ZL1 car.

The fender isn’t different on the ZL1. It’s just aligned wider at the factory. Essentially that is what you’d be doing. And I did it. It came out great.
According to multiple threads on this forum and GM parts sites, the ZL1 fenders are indeed different. They even have different part numbers.

If you bought OEM ZL1 rockers/side skirts, your experience may or may not be relevant to the Vicrez side skirts. It really depends on if they are intended for a non-ZL1 car.
