Wow that looks awesome. How was the fitment? If you're going to F up your kit anyway I'd probably go FG.

^^ Nope. Remove old side skirts.Connect them together with srews, bolts, clips, that you have to drill holes for. Put it back on as you would with just the stock side skirt.

The FG skirt fits in directly even without taking anything off, and fits pretty snuggly into the little crack. But you have to connect them together just to be safe.

And there is no clearcoat on the front lip or the skirts yet, but ill be sure to take pics with a better camera once I clearcoat/polish.

Its the best way to do it since the Fiberglass side skirts dont come with the mounting clips on the inside.
