Tom's sides questions.
Does it really need a stock sides to fit? Can't I just install it without it?
Does the stock sides have to be painted in some point?
Tip: never install tom's sides with GFX sides.

Thanks! I was almost going to regret buying stock sides.
After your installation, do you see annnnyyy part from the stock sides?
My GFX sides + Tom's sides combo is horrible!! Can't wait to get it fixed.

The weather stripping that comes with the Toms will eventually start to wear away and when the stripping get s a little loose, you can see the stock sides showing.

I don't have it with me.
I bought some brand new stock sides, and they're black. I think it wont be a big deal having the black rubber strip. :P

My car is in the shop, but I have 4 crappy photos.
Here's some pictures of GFX sides + Tom's sides.
Also, here's something I always care about, I made the sides black for an OEM look.
ignore the removed screw, they were installing the foil.
Not very OEMish but it looks fine lol.
