Default Finally got this one done

I finally got the rear spoiler n skirts installed on Saturday, took me longer than what I thought but they turned out pretty good, I think. Specially under the watchful eye of my two pups Leo n Lily.

Anyway, some pics from when the project started couple weeks ago to installation. And yes I'll be getting some wheels down the line but for now that's the way she looks now. Enjoy...

No sir, I'm not, just factory shocks and she's not lowered either.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I prep everything n my friend painted the parts. You never use other man spray guns and he also offered. The paint was matched at a friends paint shop with a paint meter, he puts a sensor on the paint the sensor analyzed it and send it to the mixing computer. Then he sprays couple wood sticks and let them dry to be sure is good to go. The whole thing takes couple hours but it's worth it.

Hi Jack, I got them at the Car ID website for $ 392.00 shipment included, they are AC Edition side skirts made by Duraflex. I liked the way they turned out and they are also super lite too.

Awesome look. I really like the skirts. I'm currently on the look out for some that won't make my car lower like the last ones I had did. Might have to look into those. Thanks for the info.
