Agreed. They give you the wider tires but not the sideskirts to prevent them from destroying the paint!

I had the same issue with mine (not quite as bad, but holes punched in the back ends of both sides). I found mine after driving through some unavoidable gravel some douche spilled across the highway for half a mile. ACS claimed I must have driven over a curb and crushed both sides . I sent them pics of the underside of my car with no other damage. The said they'd seen this on their Vette side skirts, but never on their Camaro ones. They offered me 50% off a replacement set.

50% discount is a nice gesture. I will try to fabricate steel inserts for the ends (on the inside) to protect them. At this stage, it will be next spring project as she will be going to storage soon. Cheers!

Yes it’s from track events. The left side after 2 events, the right side after 5 events. I don’t drive my car on the street much so I know it’s not from street driving. Also I noticed each damage right after the track event.

Looks good! Is that a piece of metal held by a rivet?

I likd mine a lot. They fit great and virtually keep all the crap away from the rear quarter panels. But, they need some reinforcement on the inside ends at the rear.
That's were the crap seems to be channeled. Cheers!
