C7 ZL1 side skirts on 2017 2SS
Hi all, was looking to see if anyone bought and had these installed? I recently purchased them and had the dealer from where I bought the car install them. They look great, only issue is that they sit forward enough on each side that it doesn't line up with the wheel well line. The right side sits even more forward than the left side.
 Just looking to see if anyone has had a pair installed and experienced similar. Thanks.

I'll have to post some pictures maybe tonight if I get back in time.
In short, that looks wrong. It looks like they didn't make sure they were centered before they riveted them. This was one big reason I did the job myself. I used clamps and then used a soft mallet to knock them (with the clamps kind of loose) back and forth a bit to get them exactly centered. In this, the fitment is very good and mine are centered. i started riveting and drilling from the middle, and moved outward. To be real nit-picky, it's impossible for the fitament to be perfect, you'll notice this even on factory panels, but I'm talking on the order of a few milimeters where stuff is even and does not stick out. It looks to me if yours were just centered prior to installing, they'd be pretty much perfect.

The rock guards don't sit exactly flush, they angle a little towards the wheels, but they don't interfere and the edge of the side skirts is generally flush with the body panel. The rock guards are also sticking out much further, so it creates a bit of illusion.
