Side Skirts

I've got a 2011 SS. Last summer I installed an SLP front splitter. I want to now install some side skirts. I am trying to match the SPL front splitter which is molded in raw black with slight textured finish. Are any of you familiar with any side skirts that have a similar finish to the SPL splitter? Please post photos and thanks in advance!

I went with ZL1 side skirts. I think they work well with the SLP front splitter. The unpainted part has a similar texture and color as the splitter.

I went with the ACS composite side skirts with my SLP splitter. They attached to the existing rockers with about 1hr worth of labor, if your mechanically inclined.

That looks good, I like the small rear piece as well, give it a nice finished look. Yours appears to be painted. What was the unpainted surface like?

That looks great! is that a GM part? where did you find them? Is there a rear piece for behind the rear wheels/tires?

Yes, they are GM ZL1 side skirts. I bought them at the dealer my wife worked at, a few months after I bought the car. Although, she had no idea I bought them, LOL. I had a friend paint them. I don't have the parts for the rear bumper on my car.

Here are a few recent pics..

I did ZL1 skirts on my 1LE. I got mine through RPI Designs. They matched perfectly and the paint quality was great.

You could keep an eye on Ebay for used a set. They usually pop up there for around $400 for take offs.

Went with ACS. Super easy to install.
Come in a matt black finish but I gave them a quick rattle can spray of matt as well. Matches perfectly with the splitter.

I had to do a finish sand on mine. Came pre primed but after doing some freshening up, painted them in satin black. The rear skirts are ACS as well. Went went them to tie it all in.
