Default Full Length Side Skirts Without Vertical Wing

Is any company making full length C8 side skirts without the vertical wing? Looking for flat, full length side skirts in carbon flash.

Thanks.

Kind of pricey for Carbon Flash but at least someone is finally making something other than teh 5VM style.

I just ordered these. Yes it’s carbon fiber, pricey, but great quality, crazy lightweight, and looks good. Just another option.

They're still carbon fiber vs some composite plastic. The visible carbon fiber version for $1350 is a very good price.

I like the extra protection on the rear of the RSC side skirts. Does not look like they have a carbon flash option. Thanks.

I got mine the other day. The front splitter was a very easy bolt on. I haven’t installed the side skirts yet because I’m waiting to get my paint correction and PPF on. There is some double-sided tape on them and you have to drill holes in the bottom of the car and rivet the side skirts on.

The quality is absolutely perfect on mine. I went with the carbon flash finish.

How long did it take to get them? I ordered skirts last week in carbon flash.

Looks great but but they'll have to be dusted off every 10 miles...

Dusting is easier and less expensive than repairing paint chips.

Let me know how the drilling the holes go, I’m suspect with not knowing what you might be drilling into.

The install was easy. There are pre drilled holes in the skirts and some tape to help hold them in place. you have to drill several tiny holes under the bottom of the body panel and then use the supplied rivets. it took me probably 5 minutes to do each side.
