Default Z06 Style Rocker Side Skirts for C8 SR

I'm thinking about purchasing the Z06 style rocker side skirts for my Stingray. Has anyone purchased and installed the Z06 style rocker side skirts for their Stingray from EOS (Extreme Online Store) or Wildhammer Motor Sports? I was wondering if there were any issues with purchase, quality, or installation? Any pictures of what they looked like installed?

Default Rpi

Just having a set of Z06 style side skirts installed Tuesday from RPI in Black flash metallic.
​​​​​
​​​RPI gives you the install option of 3M tape only or rivets with 3M tape. Rivets and tape for me. Nice price of $479 for the set.

Hope to contrast with the BFM wrapped roof, A pillars roof and Stienhauser Blade Spoiler.

I have the ones from Extreme online. They fit perfect zero gap. The factory GM ones had a small gap. Very pleased with the fit and finish.

Nice! Thank you for your reply and input. RPI was the first ones I looked at and was going to order. However, from their website I sent them a message asking them if they had them in stock and would ship soon, but they never got back to me. So, I figured if I didn't hear from them now before I even ordered from them it would turn into a mess if I actually did order from them and didn't hear anything from them.

Did you just order the ones they have listed for the Z06? I was assuming/hoping they would fit the stingray as well.

I went with the Z06 side skirts from C7CARBON. Less expensive than ACS but the big factor for my was that I liked the shape better on the C7carbon. It was hard to get good pictures to show the detail of the shape so here are a few pics to look at.
Make it yours.

You are right, that does look awesome! I never paid that close attention to the exact shape. Did you install with Tape, Rivits, or tape & rivits?

I used only the 3M tape. No issues after 2000 miles.

You know what they say about assumptions. Assumed like most that all colors offered on their website that had a $100 upcharge, "except Carbon Flash Metallic", which had no upcharge, would mean it was on hand and ready to ship. However their website does not say any such thing, so bad on me. Called RPI after ordering a week or so later and was told paint turn around on CFM like all colors offered is approx 5 to 6 weeks.

Just dropped the RPI shipment box off today at my bodyshop, we opened one up, paint looks great. Packaging was first class. Dropping off my C8 Wed morning for same day pick up. My bodyshop guy, "who is killer", liked the rivits supplied by RPI and said if there is room during install he will also add an additional small washer to the existing supplied washer. Tape is also supplied with the rivits.

I'll find out the exact fitment from my guy on Wednesday. Will see, but expecting a perfect RPI fit.

Sorry for the lame picture I took from my screen. RPI's blow up photo is really good on their website.

Dang, only $300 for carbon flash z06 style side skirts? I have the ones from ACS, but I paid 750, which is too much, like most of their stuff. EOS didn’t make these when I got mine. I’ve never had any fitment issues with any EOS product

EOS website says nothing about using rivits for install.

Would pass on a tape only Z06 style side skirt.

Closer look to the Z06's than any others IMO. They look great.

yeah, these look the closest to the c8 z06 ones. I dont see how the ACS or even the RPI look even remotely like the Z06 ones.

Does it give you the option to use rivets too? Do rivets come with it?
