Hi Folks,

Just thought I'd share a pic of my car with new sideskirts installed.

The "belly arch" of the car has always bugged me. Even when lowered it never looked like it "sat" right...
I wanted to keep the clean lines of the original design but just flatten out the bottom; so this is perfect for me.

If you are wondering I am also running Magnaflows with 18x8 Dronell wheels

Thanks for the thumbs up. The rims are Dronell C-05 18". Tires are Pirelli P7000. Intrax springs (I have my 6 mos./used Eibachs for sale by-the-way). KYB shocks.

I was representin' at the last Rowland Heights meet. I didn't have the skirts at the time.

The skirts are the same as the Erebuni one for our cars. They just go over the stock skirts and fit well.
Props to Sunny Styling in El Monte, CA for the great color-matching.

The front and rear bumpers are unchanged. The skirts sit a little lower than the stock front bumper...but it looks just fine. Other than this one, the Admiration/Titan, or Veilside/Erebuni are the other easily accessible styles.

Depends how wild you want to go. IMHO, this one fits best with the stock bodylines. I wouldn't do skirts only if it were the Admiration or Veilside kit.

The end result is a very "subdued" look. Nothing wild. But still respectable.

Just gotta take the speed bumps slower now : )

I got the skirts from a fellow CL member so I don't know the exact kit number...but I've been told it's the 456 from here (not an exact match though): http://www.spoilers.com/ge/lexgs300.htm


Happy Cruising.

Clean

I like the rear end of the 96 & 97.. and debated painting mine to look, but then i say i like mine better. Only thing is if i paint it i will mess it up. Only one shot. Anyway i guess i will leave things as is.

Do you mind posting how much the skirts alone cost?
