I like them! But I wouldn't call them ZL1 inspired, they look nothing like the ZL1 skirts, but nonetheless great looking product!

Watched the video. Installation doesn't look too bad, especially if you have a couple clamps like Brian in the video recommends.

I noticed it looks like the underside of the rocker is just exposed fiber glass. Is that common for aftermarket skirts? I just assumed they would be fully "boxed" in...if that makes sense, instead of an open mold with no bottom.

(EDIT: OK...so looked at an installation video for a competitor's side skirts and they are the same way.)

Also, does this include (or would anyone recommend?) 3M automotive tape to help hold the rocker on in addition to just the screws? I guess some rivets might be a better choice to hold than just screws.

Thanks.

The backs of the skirts are usually painted black for a more finished look. We left those unpainted on the back so that the screws would show up better in the video.
We do not include any tape with these skirts.
We use the same screws for our Corvette skirts and have never had any problems with them falling off. We use screws instead of rivets because most customers have a drill but few customers have a rivet gun.

I am guessing you are asking about a rear diffuser with two single tip exhaust cutouts. We have this one that I have not loaded on our website yet.



Not many people are making diffusers for non-quad tip exhaust muffler Camaros yet.

We have been sending out our Camaro skirts for some time now. We would like to see some pictures of them mounted on your cars. So we are going to offer a $25.00 Gift Card to RPI Designs for the first three people to post 2-3 good pictures of our skirts on their cars.
