Also big thanks to the guys on here who helped me in the process of choosing these.
Glad you finally found something you like! Looks killer. On the tire pressure deal I like OstoneO run mine at 34 cold PSI so when they get warmed up they are right at 36-37 and the tires wear very well..

Lol yea I’ve had a good used diffuser stashed away for more than a year waiting to find these skirts. I know where another used GFX diffuser is but it ain’t cheap.

eBay item number: 394802733626 in case you or anyone else is curious. I paid about $500 including taxes and shipping for the one I got last year. This is the same guy I got the skirts from. Then again these GFX parts are getting incredibly hard to find in good shape or even at all it seems. I looked weekly, sometimes daily, and it took me 1 yr 3 months to find these skirts, only the second set I’ve seen… The first was damaged borderline beyond repair on the passenger side, and was way over priced for condition. If anyone wants these OE GFX parts from here on out it’s gonna pricey and likely a pain to find them.
I’m still hunting the splitter.
Both of my cars have been themed around the more bad ass ‘10-13 OE GM accessories like the GFX, Heritage, and Dovetail.

I hope so. It’ll make my life easier and I’d rather them go to a good C5 board member than some knuckle head from CL or market place.

That's about what I ran with my tires before I was a little worried they might de bead while stretched but guess I'm probably safe to drop the psi a bit, steering wheel is shaking at 60 and up, not sure if it's because of higher pressure and less sidewall or if the guy messed up the balancing on top of everything else, so might drop the psi and see if anything changes.

Those "old ones" look like the ZL1 rockers?? If so you can do like I did and add these lower rear quarter spats and make the rear of your Camaro look like the GFX, just minus the exhaust diffuser section.
