My concern with all of these aftermarket ZL1 skirts is they seem to be hollow on the bottom. The real ZL1 skirts are flat on the bottom. I find it hard to believe the aftermarket ones don't add lift and drag as compared to the true ZL1 skirts. But I can't find anything on this topic... (2ss 1le inbound at 3400)
@@Lethalgarage o yeah.... The tape and screws dont hold up???i was thinking buying new 3m foam tape and maybe sum high quality screws... What dont you like about them.. Not mounting correctly? Too long? Too short? Think i might be better off getting some from EOS ?????
@@Lethalgarage ok if thats all that might be an easy fix... Its alot of knockoff 3m tape out there... Gonna get the real deal and kinda overkill it with enough tape. Also 3m has an adhesion promoter that should be used..
Okay Im seeing some people recommend the tape and others recommend the goop. Sounds like you recommend the tape because of install. But will it last over time is the concern I have?
I gotta RS-LT Does a ZL1 side panel have more aggressive look than a RS/SS? Do these side rockers fit exactly like a ZL1? Do you have side by side comparison photo of a non-zl1 VS zl1 installed side rockers
The ZL1 has a flared front portion of the side skirt as it is 1/2” wider than a SS or LT. They look like a ZL1s side flares, but do not make your fenders wider to 100% match an actual ZL1
They look better and cost less than the ACS composite siderockers. I just payed $524 shipped when I could have payed $240 instead. Good thing I have not opened the box, I'm returning the ACS and getting these. And no drilling holes! Great! Edit- I have to pay a 15% restocking fee. I have not even opened the box. Thanks, Phastek.
I will say, these will pop and fall off over time. They will require maintenance over the ACS setup. The way they attached is just not that great. I only say this now as I have been around 3 cars that have these and they are constantly popping off.
I saw your ACS side skirt installation on the white Camaro, In your opinion as both are after market which one has the better quality, fit, finish and which one follows the line of the Camaro well enough. I don't want a skirt to be sticking outside too much. Does the American Authority come painted gloss black?. weird I tried replying back on your comments but somehow youtube was not letting me do it, so had to post as a comment than a response
wow i went to get the link to your channel to put in the description of the livestream and youtube unsubsribed me aparently well re subscribed lol stupid youtube
Not that Im aware of. I have the OEM rock guards and I had to slightly modify the ACS Composite side skirts to make them fit. They are expensive, but very high quality. Great product and perfect fit.

Great video Matt, love mine easy install and cost was great.

No. It’s truly terrible no matter what way you go. I’d almost use RTV
Yeeess!!!! They gave me a pair and a list of things also. Can't wait to put them on!!! :)
Getting closer to 30k 🙌🏽
It's crazy!
LethalGarage you deserve it Matt!!!

Nice job Matt came out great looks factory !

Im glad I read this. I almost bought them.
Thanks for the honest reviews, it's sure nice!
do you think you could add additional rivets similar to the ACS version instead of the tape or goop?
Finished product pretty comparable to other rocker panels you have installed?
The product is nice. I just wish it mounted on the top side a bit better. Overall it doesn't require any holes into the car, so that's a win.
What paint did Maplefed (hope that is his name haha) use to paint his calipers? I want my 1LE with that same exact color :o
I know I'm 2 years late but how close does this look to the zl1 side skirts?
Beautiful black Camaro
Link for buying product not found,can you provide new link?

@@Lethalgarage thanks for reply 🤝

I liked the ACS and C7Carbon setup equally. I was not a fan of the AA setup, mainly on how it installs.

We all know you hate me :)
Next one you get give me a holler...i need parts ..1ss new 1778 miles ..i need parts ..
Does maplefed have a UA-cam channel
He doesn't. He lives vicariously through mine :)
right when u started this video i was thinkin.....nooooo dont use goop!
I take it that no side skirts will work with the Chevy OEM rock guards
