Probably won't match up at all with your stock side skirts...

actually, the GTS has lower sideskirts compared to the base DE model (like the one in that picture). Very similar, if not, the same profile with the X.

btw. i still havnt gone to the shop as ive been busy a school.
most likely in a week or 2 before spring break (early break at Mid-March)
its all cosmetic anyway, no harm done to major components.
im still undecided on either that or from ED... Accolade is out.
Ive seen someone from the another thread with that ^ (body-kits.com) installed,
but havnt seen one with ED's kit.... anyone?

I pick extreme dimension never accolade kit (weird looking side skirt and the front)..

Look, always straight down on the bottom of the "lip" and make a hole there? = weird and card board side skirt?



This one (I like it) looks a lot better and you could see the improvement on looking but I afraid the height will be weird too like very high/tall and mostly won't match the side skirt, that's their problem on all kits

i kinda decided against it since the holes (fog lights) are bit too big... that'll give the car too much drag i would think. Now these are from body-kits:





i think the side skirts from the GTS model will do fine since it has a
lower profile than the base DE (and perhaps ES also) What my concern
about this one though is that the front corners are bit too long...
the fogs are going to be useless once the mesh/grill is there...

i havent seen someone with the ExtremeDimensions kit, so im not sure yet.
