ZL CF Rockers

Anybody aware of a manufacturer out there making visible CF side rocker panels for the 17-18 ZL1?

I did a carbon fiber wrap on mine, turned out looking really nice and WAY cheaper than actual CF!

Great idea! Did you do it yourself? If so, where did you buy the 2x2 weave material that matches the hood insert?

My car didnt have the CF insert so i wrapped that along with the side skirts, front splitter and a portion of the rear bumber. Pretty much everything that was black other that the grill. I paid someone to do it when i had the car wrapped in LLumar.

I have the hood, already installed the factory cf 1LE spoiler, AC cf front splitter and canards and cf rear diffuser. I will have to find a wrap that will match. Any idea what the factory rockers cost. I might wrap those and retain my stock ones.

Gotcha.. I have seen a bunch of different CF wraps out there! maybe someone is making one that is close to what you are looking for. I am not sure how much a new set is from GM....

Like everything else for these cars, probably plenty!

For me it would be a real carbon piece or leave it as it is.

I'm 100% with you on that. I am creating a ZL1 1LE A10 convert with cf parts. I already have all the other parts installed with the exception of the rear diffuser. I am waiting on AC on that. No one and I mean no one makes cf rockers for this car. If everything else on the car was black I would not be wasting my time on this. I will post pictures when done.

Real CF is usually unidiectional. The 3x weaves they put on the surface is just a cosmetic treatment.

My ZL-1 A10 is about a week away from the dealership, and I will be taking it straight to a guy who will correct any paint issues, and PPF the entire car. I have the two CF options on the car, but have been debating back and forth if I should have the splitter, skirts and diffuser wrapped in a CF pattern material while he's at it, or just leave it alone.

I'm about 52/48 on not doing any CF wrap on the outside, but will probably wrap some trim pieces on the interior. Semi-gloss CF wrap on the shifter and instrument bezels might look pretty cool.
