Font and Sideskirts Question

Are front and sideskirts from ACS really worth the $300-$400 difference than other companies? I'm looking for the newer sharper ZL1 front skirt. Any smaller brand recommendations would be helpful. And are unpainted/primer finish ugly by itself? Just got a new 2021 2SS so I am new to this and don't know anyone that has these things to get advice from.

Don't cheap out. Some get lucky but I never had any luck with cheaper alternatives and caved eventually and Bought a set of C7 Carbon ones. They are the best in my opinion and the fitment is next to OEM on the ZL1

I myself never had ACS ground effects, but I did purchase a C7 Carbon splitter and can second Lemmy's opinion, it was high quality with perfect fitment. Ended up selling it because I subjectively didn't like the way it looked on the car, however, it was no fault of the product in any way.

OEM is always the best, but the most expensive, too, short of aftermarket carbon fiber body panels such as those from Anderson Composites.

What's a "front skirt"? Skirts are on the sides, splitter is on the front.

My car has EOS "Refresh style" front splitter and side skirts, unpainted (raw ABS) against Summit White and I like the look (and the fitment). Under $500 for the complete set.
