"Carbon Fiber", if not the real thing, is like a girl wearing falsies. or putting racing stripes on a car that has never been, or never will be raced.

Thanks guys for your input! It seems to be more CF preference. I'm also leaning toward to CF because I just did 3M carbon fiber vinyl wrap on the roof. It should be good matching.

I bought my kit from RPI, and originally the front splitter was body colored too. I replaced the splitter after a few years of abuse with a CF one. At that time I considered changing out the skirts to CF as well.
I decided to keep the body color as it gives it a "unique" look...maybe...
Well at least it matchs the rear spoiler.

Hey guys,
I finally decided to buy the side skirts but I can't decide which one to get. To me, they both look great and priced about the same. BTW, I won't get the front splitter because I don't want to damage it within a week or two.
What would you guys buy if you are in my situation? Let's see some more pics!

I paid $70 for the vinyl and did it myself with friends helping me. Not a easy job though.
Where did you get yours? Looks great!

The "fake" carbon fiber and racing stripes are purely for form, not function. Just like "falsies" on girls.
You made a perfect point without meaning to
