Sorry that sucks but hey ACS will probably make a kick ass package!!!!

 

[NOSOUPFORU]

Yup. ACS will be on this like white on rice. They are aware! Huge opportunity for them

Are ACS spliiter and side skirts and/or rocker extensions easy to put on, or will it require a visit to shop to do it right?

They were easy to put on my C7 after I got over the fear factor...lol... . I'm not an expert but have decent hand skills and know the value of measuring twice and cutting (or in this case drilling) once. .... Drilling the first hole in your new Corvette is really hard.... Took me 2 hours to install the first side rocker.....20 minutes for the other side... lol... The splitter was easy. Get a short head right angle drill... really helps unless you have a lift. My air riveter really came in handy too. A set of A clamps to hold it in place once you get it positioned is paramount as well. Not sure if the C8 will be similar or not but ACS has good instructions and video.... at least for the C7 they did...

This would be a deal-breaker for me. However, for my current car, beyond what was factory available I have bought some good stuff from Corvette Mods and other places directly. From what I read and hear ACS has some great stuff as well. Definitely, from my experience, the aftermarket price is much better but be careful as some parts are hydro and not 100% carbon fiber. I have had some carbon fiber installed and some I did myself. For me, it depended on how much disassembly or custom fitting was involved. But as I went through the process of installing carbon fiber on 2 C7 Zs it became clear almost everything can be done yourself with some patience, the right tools and of course plenty of Jack Daniels.

I drink good tequila occasionally.I know exactly how your rocker and wing got together... Tequila can be a source of multiple unfortunate connections...
