There are a pics of a red convertible with just the lip in the members ride section. The guy is from Texas. In my opinion, it doesn't look right.

Here is the car that I was talking about. Obviously, the vert skirts are not identical to the stock hatch skirts but similar in size:

thats looks really nice. gotta mold it to look like one piece though, really sets it apart from the rest

personally i like the stock sides. i think it looks pretty good with the z lip. the stock sides doesnt exactly drop down as low as the z lip but in my opinion it still looks pretty good. i say go with stock sides man

I think they look nice. Not perfect but very nice. If it were me, I wouldnt bother about getting dif sides. I mean you already have them on, and you dont have to paint or mold or cut or anything of that to get em on. Just put your front lip on an rear spliters.

I wouldn't put the z-style sides with a hiro rear lip. too much of a height difference
stick with the z-style front, stock sides and hiro rear |

adam i just want to say those rims look superb on your car. what are you driving now? i forget. I really wouldn't mind a set of those rims. Aren't hey racing harts? If that's the case they're a bit pricey for me. maybe I can find knocks
