Evo X official paint issues/problems thread {merge}
According to MMNA's website, the side skirts are $840 MSRP. When you go to build the Evo, all of the individual parts are listed as accessories. I personally hate the front lip on the aero kit, so if anything I would consider the skirts as long as they look normal with the stock front and rear...anything to prevent this rock chip nightmare.

I had them put the side skirts and the back plates on without the front just to see how it looked...I was OK. Went ahead and put the front lip on...who knows, I might take it back off.
I'm at about 3500 miles, and I put the $5 temporary splash guard solution on the car the very day I got it. I still have chips along the lower part of the rocker panel, just towards the front of the factory 3M, and on the trailing edge of the rear doors.
I'm pretty disappointed even splash guards can't totally correct it. I don't even want to think about what it'd look like if I didn't install them. I guess I'll have to start shopping around for someone to cover the rear in 3M, otherwise it's going to look like I sandblasted it before it even gets to 20,000 miles.

sorry...I should have taken a picture but didn't. Now I do have the front air dam on. For what it is worth, everyone that saw it before and after in person like the aero kit better.
I'd have to see just the side skirts on it, I thought about adding the aero kit on mine.
Maybe I will after the rock chips get worse. I need to get either the 3m tape or mud flaps on this thing.

Anyone know if there any difference if your car is Phantom Black? Just wondering since it's a "premium" pearlescent paint so perhaps it's not a single stage. I had a pearlescent white on my infiniti and I believe it took 2 coats to apply when I had some body work done.
Does anyone else have really bad waterspotting issues? It seems like they keep coming. My wifes car does not have this issue and I take care of it in the same matter. Also my friend with a EVO 9 GG came over the other day and washed his car first and then mine and I got waterspots again and his car did not have any.
I'm thinking of ordering these:
