side skirts on backwards

i just got my car back from the shop yesterday, it was getting the xenon body kit put on, and i just noticed that my side skirts are on backwards. its hard to tell cuz of the design, thats y i just noitced. i think it looks pretty good that way but i dunno if i should leave it, it kinda messes up the line going upward from the front to the back if u know what i mean. u guys think i should leave them or get them put on the right way?

lol it's an honest mistake. The oem and xenon just look like fancy beams attached under a car. They don't have flaps that extend upwards to the quarter panel and fenders.

lol...

now that i look at it, it still looks pertty good. i'm 50/50 on changing it back. the body shop i went to has a good rep, they did an amazing job on the paint, not 1 shade different then the car's original paint, that was my biggst concern cuz i see a lot of cars with body kits where the body kit is slightly a diff. shade then the car. but all in all i think i would tell them to change it to the right way.

hey dude at least you're lucky and your paint wasn't a shade different,my kit is really silvery and my car is metalic grey so its f***** up and i'm pretty PO. I just waxed my car today and it looks abit better,but the back bumper is still bad

. Also the shop that i took the kit to get painted didnt even know how to install the side skirts properly...stupidity is all I could say in my head.

Does it say NONEX on the side?? If any one ever even noticed that they were on backwards (which I doubt they would) just tell them its custom!

i'll get my freidns digital camera and take some pics of it, but thats the weird part, it still says XENON on the skirts. only its in the front and not the back. they put the left skirt on the right side and the right on the left and had no choice but to flip it. i think i'm gonna leave it cuz imo its still looks tight. i'll get pics up in the next couple days
