Sorry man...I feel your pain. I looked forever for a video and couldn't find one...hence the reason I decided to do one. I couldn't imagine doing it without the trim tools to be honest. There would have been ALOT of cussing coming out of my garage for sure!

Not sure which side skirts you're specifically reffering too, but the removal part would be the same.

I think the closest aftermarket ones to the ZL1 skirts are the havoc but they attach to the bottom of the stock skirts I believe...so you wouldn't have to do the stock skirt removal.

Really excellent video, just got the ZL1 side skirts off a C5 member about 2 weeks ago and they arrived while I was away on vacation. I got them painted the factory way, but I like the look you have with the whole skirt painted by Garys. I'll likely get the front from Garys.

I have to order the trim tool kit from Harbor Freight and a set of clips (in case I break any during removal) and I will be all set, but this video really helped me to know what I am in for!

Thanks again!

Cheers,
George

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this video, just swapped out the skirts for the ZL1 skirts! This video made it very easy, took about 90 minutes start to finish even with setting up and getting tools ready!

I installed my ZL1 Rockers last weekend and followed the advice in the OP's video. It was very helpful.

That little plastic trim tool was a lifesaver for releasing the plastic clips.

It probably took me about 1 hour to complete the job.
