I installed the C7 Carbon Side Skirts in Satin Black on Day 1. Looks amazing and the color matched the front splitter and rear spoiler perfectly. Only downside was it took 3 weeks to receive as they are built to order. I also added the ZL1 Addons Premium front and rear rock guards they look amazing and fit perfectly together!

I installed a set of C-7 Carbon skirts on my car last month. I must have gotten lucky when I ordered mine because I received them about a week after I ordered them!

Not only do they improve the looks noticeably but they also help deflect road dirt/debris. Prior to installing them I was frequently cleaning the lower half of the rockers. White car, anything stands out and I have a long gravel driveway. Since then, and especially after the day at Daytona a few weeks ago I have't noticed anything get past them onto the rockers.

Kind of ironic because, when they showed up my wife asked me what that huge box was for. I told her that they were skirts to help keep the rocks and dirt from damaging the rockers. Little did I know that they were going to be so good at doing that very thing.

These are definitely on my to-buy list. Any benefits to going with OEM ZL1 vs C7Carbon?

What does a set of OEM ZL1 run? How do they mount up?

I am looking to add some type of side skirt to help reduce rock chips from the front tires, if I can find a set I think looks right on the car and not make it look bulky/overly complicated. I already have ZL1 Add On rock guards, and they do OK, and I added some extra, custom 3M Paint protection on the forward area of the rear tires, and it definitely helps, but a side skirt would be nice to just keep stuff from hitting that area period. I'm not sure of the looks of the ZL1 style, but it is functional. I like the RPI looks better, but they aren't as functional.

I bought the ACS skirts for my previous 1LE. The quality, shipping and packaging was top notch. I will admit, a little on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for. The paint quality was excellent. Here's a few pics of my old 1LE....still brings a tear to my eye that I got rid of her:(, lol.

I did the same with the h=guards and Xpel, very frustrated with the amount of debris that still gets by. Ive been entertaining the thought of side skirts as well just as a preventative measure

I actually go back and forth quite a bit....sometimes I like the side skirts but more often I prefer the look without as well.

I like the looks of the side skirts, just don't think I'd be able to get in/out of my car in the garage.
