Default Grand Sport Front Splitter with ZR1 Style Skirts

I decided to add the side ZR1 Style Skirts to my 13 GS. What do you guys think about the stock splitter and ZR1 Style skirts combo? I am going with the flat black look.

It looks good, stock splitter compliments the skirts...you probably won't scrape the stock splitter as much as you would a ZR-1 splitter.

That's the main reason I did not purchase the ZR-1 splitter. I was concerned about the look of the stock splitter/zr-1 skirts combo, but I think it works. Thanks!

WOW! That is great, love the flat, satin look. Connects all your black parts together.
Picturing how that would look on my GS. Enjoy.......

Looks great except for the stripes IMO. Can they be easily removed?

Your car looks good! Add the ZR1 splitter and it'll look even better.

Looks great. I like it. I am waiting for delivery of C7 Carbon extended side skirts to put on my Cyber Grey GS. Keeping the stock splitter. I have the 2012 Centennial Edition flat black GS wheels and badges. Difference being red calipers.

I've been on the fence about getting these in fear of them not looking good with the GS splitter. I have to say it looks good. How hard was the installation by the way?

Installation was easy, I did both sides by myself in about 1.5 hrs and I was taking my time. The hardest part about the installation was drilling into the car.

Was going to ask about this.....

How many holes were drilled per side and, do you have any under-side photos of the drilled areas?

When you say you went with the flat-black look, did they come that way or is that how you had them painted (flat black). Is there any prep work needed prior to painting?

Looks great! I like the flat black look of the side skirts, but the front splitter looks out of place only becuase it is still "stock" looking. And, I think the GS Stripes compliment the skirts.

Looks great!

I like the stripes, as well. If you get tired of them you can take them off later.

Thanks for sharing.

The splitter and side skirts have good continuity of line.
Looks great!

I had to drilled 9 holes per side (3 holes for the mudflaps and 6 under) Sorry I don't have photos right now I will try to upload some later.

The skirts came already in flat black. I did not have to paint them. I purchased them from Southern Car Parts.

I know that it would look better with the ZR-1 splitter but the roads are terrible where I live, so for now I will keep it like this. Thanks!

I had the carbon fiber skirts originally and added the matching front splitter later. I should have done this long ago as it completes the look. No problem with scraping so far, but you definitely want to back in to a parking spot.
