Cool Nightfall Grey Camaro wants Side Rockers

Can't find a set of rockers I really like.
I'm 100% sure that I want to paint them carbon flash black to match the NPP lower diffuser, but I'm not crazy about the bulky appearance of the ACS set and I'm not thrilled about the wing at the back of the Street Scene. Certainly after two years we have more than two options?!?

Looking for something thin looking like the carbon ones you could get on the Z06 corvette 2015-2017.

Suggestions?

Also, if anyone has a good photo of Street Scene rockers on the Nightfall grey, I'm leaning towards that set.

I don't think ACS are too bulky.
I purchased the primed set. Had the front section wrapped in gloss black.
The rear part is carbon fiber wrap

How's the black holding up against dust and dirt? Also did you wrap your splitter as well? How's it holding up against chips from rocks?

Splitter is wrapped in clear Suntek paint protection. Similar to 3M.
Suntek Paint Protection on the complete front of the car including around the front window, mirrors and headlights. Not one stone chip. The front splitter has carbon fiber wrap on the ends tying in with my rockers. Everything is holding tight and standing up very well. Another benefit to the ACS rockers is, it keeps stones off of the bodywork just ahead of the rear tires. My 2013 Gen5 had sand blasting there. Not this car.

Here's the front splitter end:

I notched the bottom corner of the splash guards to make the ACS rockers fit.
Rockers to me were more effective at keeping the stones off the body work.

I really like what you did there. Adding the SS emblem was ingenious. Really sets it apart.

The problem with this world is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be penalties for stupidity,
but why don't we just take the warning labels off everything and let the problem solve itself.

I got mine from C7 Carbon.
