We have been sending out our Camaro skirts for some time now. We would like to see some pictures of them mounted on your cars. So we are going to offer a $25.00 Gift Card to RPI Designs for the first three people to post 2-3 good pictures of our skirts on their cars.

Well as Don knows, I just had bilateral knee surgery on February 8th and at 4wks I'm learning to walk again and my mobility is limited, I can't even drive and I've had these skirts in gloss black since my 2nd week of post op. It's been killing me to get these on the car and what great weather we've had for February is gone and old man winter has returned. Still, dying to get these on I ran the risk just now of getting down on my garage floor and attaching the passenger side. I can't do the drivers side do to space when I parked the car months ago and again, I can't drive and my wife won't touch the car so one side is all I can share.
I will say after tossing around these RPI skirts, ACS and one or two others, I feel I made the best decision. These skirts make my car look bad ass! The quality, fit and finish is very nice and the paint matches up perfectly with the OEM splitter and the aftermarket rear quarter valances that my body shop painted. This completes my lower aero package and now I can concentrate on a rear spoiler to complete the exterior. Of course with my insurance paying $52,900 for knees, I have about $1200 out of pocket expenses I need to address first.

All this said, thanks RPI and thanks Don for seeing me through all this and when I have my legs totally back, I'll shoot some decent outdoor, in the sun shots to show my Blue Velvet swag!

Thanks for the pictures! Glad you like the skirts. Hope your knees recover quickly so that you can enjoy your car again!

Thanks and I do appreciate the words for my restoration!
Had my 6wk Post Op yesterday and Doc as well at my physical therapist say I'm way ahead of anyone at this point having had bilateral knee replacement surgery and someone who may have had just one knee done would love to be as advanced as I am. Pretty good for a guy who turned 60 on Thursday! I was given the green light to drive again but I won't be in the Camaro anytime soon. Want to break back in with my '07 Honda Element SC w/167k on it. LOL

Thanks man! I went back and forth between these and ACS, as well as the Street Scene and when it came down to me looking them over, I just had to go this route. They flow so nice with the cars body lines.

No problem bud! After seeing the pic you posted with the Gloss Black ones i can see this working out for me over the ACS. ACS looks great but these are more up my alley price wise as well as you said the lines of the car go very well with them.

How much do these weigh...just need approximation (shipping weight would work)? These look the most natural on the car of all that I've seen so far, especially I think if you've got the factory blade and front splitter already. The others all look aftermarket based on pictures alone.

Sorry, one more question...I just watched the install video and heard him say to be careful to not over tighten them "because you're only screwing into plastic". Are these made out of fiberglass or plastic?

Thanks

They definitely look great. Are they painted underneath as well?

They are black underneath but not finished like the money side.

Thanks. Can you tell me if they're plastic or fiberglass, and also how much they weigh approximately?
