Side skirts.. FINALLY!
 
I finally got RS side skirts for my car... It took me forever cos I never have money, but I was able to find them on PCPonline for pretty cheap. When I first brought them home, they fit pretty good.. or at least I thought. I dropped it off for paint, and when I tried putting them on it was like they were too short for the length of my car. How could they possibly have shrunk?! Well, anyways, I drilled it, double-sided taped it, and sawed it as best I could.. :shrug:

looks good.

PunkingCivic 05-15-2005 04:49 PM

looks good
but paint the front lip too.

my1vtec 05-15-2005 04:52 PM

If the front lip isn't carbon fiber, I'de paint that, but other than that, it looks really good

SeeGirLDrifT 05-15-2005 04:55 PM

my front lip is CF... but I think I'm gonna paint it anyways.

armieo 05-15-2005 04:58 PM

Na... I'd say paint your sideskirt black if anything. Keep the front lip as is.

If you paint your front lip then your wheels will stick out like a sore thumb.

Looks koo.

FTK01CIVIC 05-15-2005 05:26 PM

chrisleecool 05-15-2005 05:28 PM

yea those RS kits are made for sedans , so the side are a little short for coupes (i've had them for a little bit)
U gonna paint ur CF lip! heck no man! sell it and buy a different lip or something (prefer oem)

my05civic24 05-15-2005 06:23 PM

Hey girl, I would paint the side skirts black. That is my opinion tho. Looks nice tho and keep up the good work.

SeeGirLDrifT 05-15-2005 06:36 PM

hmm.. thanks for all the compliments... but I'm not gonna paint them black right after i got them painted satin silver. ;)

good call, and nice car! represent SSM's!

orion_squall 05-15-2005 06:57 PM

they are less flexable after painting...eventually they will carck.

But don't worry, I have a thread on how to fix cracks. :)

Nooooo! don't paint the CF lip... Might as well sell it and use part of the money to buy a non cf lip..

JCiv03 05-16-2005 03:29 AM

Btw, the car looks awsome! did u do the side skirt install yourself??

jhonsok 05-16-2005 03:40 AM

Leave your car the way it is, it looks so goddam sexy.
Painted skirts and lip body colour.
cf front lip. even if it wasnt cf and was just flat black, i'd leave it.

:-bs:
Ahem, my cousin just painted one for a WRX 2 weeks ago. He been working autobody and paint for eons...looked pretty sweet too when he was done.

I would not paint the Lip, skirts or tail black, it will take away from the look of
the car and also make it look like its raised...
