Oh yeah!. That looks great. Happy with it?

Have those sideskirts been cut down as well? Looks like they might be.

    Hmmm yeah, you are going to have to watch out for that


    Four of us with those fins cut off now. Agree that it looks better without them.

      I also didn't like the idea of having silaflex half way up the rear quater and the front needed to be cut anyway because of the kaze fender vent

      Yep. Thats the other reason why I cut mine down. Got sick of looking at the sikaflex as well.

      Had forgotten about the Kaze vent getting in the way. Anyway, looks great.

          How'd you cut the sideskirts? The fin parts are the only thing turning me off getting a set

          Just cut inline with the bottom of the rear door and then fill the holes created with fibreglass or fibreglass reinforced bog. If you mask the car and fill while fitted, you can get a perfect fit to the car. Takes a bit of effort, but the outcome is worth it IMO.

            Apparently it was a pain in the ass because when cut the sideskirts are longer than the car and he needed to shorten them as well as mould the front in the rear is flush when cut already with minimal work needed but yeah the front is a pain

            Yep, the front is a pain in the butt and more difficult than the back
