Nice. How do those install? Clips/screws/glue? I've thought aboot buying those but quality seems to be an issue with CF parts.

You remove wheel and fender liner. 3 or 4 screws hold them on.

Those look great but don't see the CF brake ducts for sale for C5s. And side skirts will not survive on my car as low as it is. Wish they made fenders and trunk lid.

The brake ducts look really nice. Pretty cool addition to the car.

Car looks great. Are those C7 side mirrors? Any pics from further back? Also do the CF rear brake ducts also come with the tubing into the rear wheel wells or are they just the outside facing ducts to replace the OEM ducts?
