Carbon fiber rockers only -splitter would match rear bumper (not carbon fiber) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I have been looking at Carbon Creations rockers. I just don’t know if it would look right being the only carbon fiber item on my car.

The rear bumper and the front would match themselves though. Thoughts on this set up?

Those side skirts remind me of the GFX side skirts. If you have the stock front and rear bumper with no aftermarket diffuser and front lip spoiler it might look tacky, but that's my $0.02. Also like you mentioned, being the only carbon fiber piece on the car would look a bit ricey. If your car is black you might be able to pull it off but anything else would be a no in my book

You could consider wrapping the front splitter/rear diffuser in carbon fibre wrap to make it look all the same. I painted all of my accents and whatnot (splitter, skirts, other aftermarket stuff) gloss black and I think it looks pretty good, although I still need to paint the rear diffuser (factory black matches fairly well as is, for now, but will get around to it eventually).

The rockers are one of those pieces that need to tie the car together, whether carbon fiber or a specific colour; it needs to correspond with something else on the car.

I am going for a similar set up, but I will have a carbon fiber diffuser and front splitter. Unless you can match it, aesthetically speaking, I don't recommend doing it otherwise.

You could paint the rockers body color.
I think it makes the car appear lower than black.

With those GFX style rockers you would need a low front lip to match IMO
