Question To replace or not replace Stock sideskirts

Well I got the insurance estimate back and I need to replace the left side side skirt and have the right side repaired and refinished. I know someone that can get me C-west for same price as one stock sideskirt. So my question is would you guys stay stock, or do I go C-west to look a little different. I am not sure how well aftermarket would flow with stock lines? Any other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Shane

I don't mind the way stock ones look and I like having the extra ground clearance but if your always on nice roads the C-west ones look great too

C-West will not line up with stock lines. Don't do it unless you get the bumpers too.

Go with the skrts from c-west...... i like LOOKING hard more than being the same.......so the lines dont match big deal , get the front when you can afford it , but your car looks differnt from most other EVO;s out there and that is is key, plus if you like them thats more of a reason to go for it man.......

Yeah, I am torn. I don't want it to look ricey but it would be nice to make it diiferent. I do like there front end but am curious on how it would flow with stock until I get front bumper and how it will look with rear even after I get front bumper.
