now..i posted a topic about this rear lip b4 and pretty much every one said "Its hard to make a car look good without side skirts when you have lips." My arguement for this is, has any one actually seen the semetrics of our car stock??

From the rear bumper to where the stock rockers lay, its about 2 inches higher. same with the front..the front bumper is about an inch n a half or more higher up than the oem rockers. The reason i wanna get my splitters and rear lip is to even out this gap..bring the body line straighter/ let it flow more. By adding side skirts, you increase that offset more..hense why im sayin no skirts.

Any one see my point? now would you still say "get sides" ?? or do you see where im coming from.

Nader and i had about a half hour conversasion about this and the body styling of the car last night after the toyota nation meet.

Actually i have to disagree LimtedST was right, u have to understand Valo666 does have the advantage of the convertibles stock sideskirt or any skirt for that matter. Because of this just front and rear splitters wont look right.
