Looks beautiful!!! I tried to buy it from the website but they cost 800 😭😭😭 great job on your car man is beautiful!!
Black self tapping pan head screws would have been a great alternative, and your calipers are really holding up nicely!
Your C5 has come A LONG WAY since I started watching your channel. Many thanks for all the videos, I'm just about ready to start modding my own C5. Not sure if I'd have the courage to get as in-depth with it as you have if I didn't have your references first. Thanks so much!
great videos. front splitter and this one. thanks a lot
that's a hot set up! may I recommend the small DeWalt or Ryobi cordless drill it might make things just a little easier for that type of drilling😎
Looks Great!!! The black looks great against the white...
Chris the Front Splitter and Side Skirts look great on your Corvette.
Thank you
This is 4 years old at this point but would you recommend using a nut+ bolt for the very front 2 holes that connect to the front fenders? I’d like to be able to easily remove front fenders, or is it not a big deal to just drill out the rivets and then re river later (when re installing the front fenders). Thank you!
GREAT VIDEO.... Those side skirts look amazing!!!!!!!!!
I know it lol saw it in the other thumbnail really cool ordered mine yesterday definitely need the guts to drill into the car
I am a fan of these - black on white is nice! I am close to pulling the trigger on this same kit - maybe in carbon fiber but need to see it black on black a few more times first. Keep up the good work!
I would suggest carbon if you have a black car. And it’s only about $50 more. Just my opinion! 👍
Bought my zo6 a few months ago, has 4500 miles on it, basically brand new 2004 model,, yes its going to be hard to drill holes in it for sure. Bought the carbon fiber package to go on mine from c7 carbon, any tips or tricks I need to know before I start the installation? 😬
Very Nice! Those were some robust rivets...side skirts are there for good!☕😎
Looks Great!! I'm planning on Carbon Fiber Splitter, side skirts, and spoiler come the spring from My White C6 Conv.
Awesome Video! Just ordered mine this morning!
Did they arrive already? They are telling me a 12 week wait.
Chris, I'm looking to install on my c5. Any C7 side skirts will fit ?
No, the manufacture is called "C7 Carbon".
Those Rivets look hard to put on. I like the self-taping black screws. Nice.
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product with a full walk around. Also, do you notice the rivets visually on the mudflap side when you walk by the car? I would hit them with some black paint or a sharpie if you do.
I’m planning on painting them.
I used self tabbing screws much easier to remove if you would ever have to take them off.
I had to remove 1 rivet in the process. Took about 5 seconds to drill it out. Not an issue.
Awesome, i just ordered mine.
I know this video is a few months old now... but I just ran across it :) So, a couple questions: 1) the title of the video says c7 side skirts, but the link you posted goes to c6 skirts. Is there a difference? 2) were you able to keep the skirts and mudflaps with your wide body kit?
The company name is “C7 Carbon”. I know, it’s confusing. Yes, they work with the wide rear quarter panels.
Looks great. I would love to see some video of the car in motion.
I need these in my life
Which one you went with? Gloss black or carbonfiber? Looks gloss black
Black
Chris I watched this vid again like the front spliter vid and I see wheel spacers on the table does this mean wider tires meaning wide body rear finder?
Yes sir.
@@mycorvettelife will you be selling your current wheels and tires
Not yet.
@@mycorvettelife ok let me know i might be interested ill be watching the channel
Looks great!
Chris when you install the side skirts can you still jack up the car from the side
Yes
Chris do the skirts get in the way when you jack up the car?
No, you still use the jacking puck locations.
How long did you have to wait to receive your order?
About 6 weeks normally. I think they are currently backed up due to issues with importing from China.
I been waiting 8 weeks already and I'm looking at 2 more before they ship. I was told 6 weeks also.
Did your side skirts come gloss black or did you paint them that color?
Came painted
Did you use a sealer where you drilled? Or no need?
No
Just ordered them, do you think I could use self tapping screws instead of rivets? Thanks
I would not.
Chris does your quick jacks still fit with the side skirts?
Yes
@@mycorvettelife i was looking to get the 7000 version of them so I can use them on my truck also im approx 4 inch off ground with c7 side skirts and it says the 5000 is 3 inch collapsed and 7000 is 3.5 inch collapsed so does it look like your 5000 series has that extra clearance needed to fir the 7000 series
You can always use a floor jack under the rear of the car to lift it up a bit and slide the Quick Jacks under.
@@mycorvettelife thanks for the info!
Somehow, "mud flaps" on my C5 never crossed my mind. Chris, front splitter and side, uh "mud flaps" really need to be shown with car on ground, outside of garage.
Hi Chris, love your channel! How soon till we c the vette with its new rear fenders??
Probably next month.
Supernice : )
Nice job but more work than I would attempt at my advanced age. I would be more likely to have a nap on the garage floor.
Chris you did a great job but sorry not a big fan of this mod.
I'm thinking the skirts and splitter would look better painted to match the car. Less of an "added on" look?
Nah...
Nah, the contrast looks great
tapping
What a pity. corvette beautiful with original form.
My car, my money.
No a C7 corvette...
The company is called “C7 Carbon”.
