Personally, Pete, I thinlk it should extend about half as much as the C&C splitter does on the sides, and then wrap up the fender well about the same height. That would look killer .

Default ACI style

What happened to the shortened ACI style?

I may be interested in the ACI version when available.

Do you have mounting directions for the ZR edition side skirts? Didn't see any on your website.

Sorry guys, got sidetracked. I'll see if I can get them tomorrow.

As for the sideskirts, no instructions, you can pretty much screw them in wherever you want really.

So if you had to remove them for some reason you would have holes to fill, correct? I was hoping you had a mounting system like what ACI uses on theirs.

ACI mounting system???

They utilize two screws on the car on the bottom side, which will not hold up the sides. You can either use self tapping screws, which will put holes in your rocker panels or double sided tape which may fall off at higher speeds.

So if you plan on buying a aftermarket body parts with the intention of putting it on the car for only a couple of months, then I would suggest going a different route.

Here is one of the first pix I got. I was told they have been shaping it and trying to get it to match the C&C lip a bit better. Lol, remember this is very early in the process

Just got these of our ACI style (Vortex) lip. Im assuming I will get some better ones of the C&C lip soon. I asked if I could get pix with the bumper sitting on the lip so we could see what it looks like. Looks really good IMO Both lips will be made in carbon and fiberglass.

I am liking this Vortex already! Yes, seeing it on a bumper will really seal the deal.
