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
so im comtemplating, i have all the body pieces (z-max lip, stock skirts, and hiro rear splitters) should i sell the stock sides and get the aftermarket skirts or just keep everything and get everything installed and painted when i run into some money? oh yeah thanks for the replies!

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 >wink.gif>

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 actually dont have my stock on yet i bought from a member here prpnum1. i finally had all the body pieces then it just had me thinkin thats all. well if i wanted aftermarket skirts i can get it cheap for like 100.00 bucks. u can get them too just talk to boosted6g on here. i got my z-max lip from him for 100.00 bucks but he is from so cal so it was no shipping.
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
here are a bunch of pics of that setup. i would have changed skirts if i would have kept the car any longer, but it didn't look bad. i got an unreal amount of comments on that car. Here ya go!

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
