I'm looking to add some c.f side skirts to my c6z. Will this add more stability on the track with a front splitter or is this simply an add for looks? Second, if I do add these, do they help with rocks and tire scrub hitting your rockers and doors?

They work but doubt you will feel a huge difference. Also depends how they are constructed.


Not much if at all.

There is low pressure under the car with a good setup. Side skirts keep air from going under the car from the sides hence keeping the low pressure under the car.

I'd like to hear from anyone that can vouch on whether the skirts save the rocks & rubber marbles from hitting the rear fender... The skirts appear that they would reduce this but I'd like to hear from anyone who has installed them.

your car will still get blasted period.

It is a shame the the '02 and later Z06s did not come in white, as my red one is turning white session by session.

I have them. They don't do much but they look sort of cool.

btw - they do nothing to keep junk off the rocker panels. My rocker panels are still covered in rubber goobers after a day at the track.

Side skirts with the little plastic piece just in front of the rear wheel pushes air up over the rear finder. The air lands about 1/4 of the way in on the spoiler increasing rear down force slightly.

As John stated, rocks will still hit!

I have them on my C6Z. I also have the Apsis ZR1 mud guards. Between the two the amount of stuff hitting the side of the car is reduced but not eliminated. The rear raised portion of the side skirt that mounts on the front of the rear wheel well gets pretty badly abused by the debris from the front tire. The Apsis guards need to be lower or a piece of plastic needs to be added to from the guards to the side skirts since the skirts narrow toward the front of the car so there is a debris path from the point the front tire touches the ground directly back to the rear fender.

Perhaps $1200 x2 or x3 depending on on-track experiences
