Side skirts without front and rear lips - Yes or No?
Hi All,
Got a full aero kit and decided to install only the sides and the back (don't want to have to deal with low clearance with the front lip). So, today I installed the skirts and the rear diffuser and I'm not really liking the diffuser much (looks a little bulky to me). I liked how it looked on pics but not on my car. I took it off just leaving the sides on. Now, the dilemma is, I think the sides look out of place without the front/back. Here is the pic.
What do you guys think?
I'm personally not a fan of a lot of the side skirts I see for our car (or any other for that matter). Any additions/changes I've made to body work on my cars over the years has had to look as OEM as possible. I find side skirts on the LC500 to always look very aftermarket and a bit out of place. Like trying to turn the car into something it isn't. I would consider a good rear diffuser though.
I applaud your vision to morph to personal specs. There are very few LC's that have deviated with mods from the original body that I see elevate the original. That's just me wishing you a great finish in your build, however.
Thanks for your inputs. I decided this particular kit a little too aggressive for my liking.
I'll remove the sides and try to sell the set. Most likely I'll keep the car as is, or put on something simple like Maxton
