when I got offered these, this was the only thing holding me back from getting them, and the fact I didn't have a spare $XXX to spend on testing them out... It's a price to pay if you don't like the look...

I plan on keeping them on. Haven't actually fitted them yet (car needs cleaning first and i want light when i take the rear wheels off to do it) just held them up to the car to see what it will look like, they surprisingly stick out quite a bit... I'd say about 5cm from the standard ones. Also the bottom of them sits approx 1cm from the standard skirts, so nothing too huge there.

What's that? Side skirts are mounted the same as front lips so i thought there can't possibly be anything wrong with screwing it onto the bottom of the standard skirts?

It is an adhesive patented by Satan, and previously used in excess by Philbo.
teejay, Soksta and T R3X like this.

Side skirts installed!
What do you guys think? (Being dropped on coilovers next week with a full assortment of whiteline gear too)
Install was extremely easy, take the rear wheels off and screw it in. Highly recommend to use 12 screws on each one to fill every hole. There is a ~2-3mm horizontal gap between the car and rear part of the sideskirt though due to curve in that body panel and the sideskirt does not curve.
