OEM mud guards fitting with OEM side skirts
i really dont like the type s sides that i have. i was thinking of just purchasing the OEM side skirts because it looks cleaner. however i still want to use my OEM mud guards.
i wanted to know if the OEM side skirts just wraps around the body or does it actually hang lower.
the type s side skirt hangs lower by 2-2.5 inches.

the front mud guards will not fit with the factory side skirts, but the rear ones do. But if you only have the rear it will look silly, that's why I took my mud guard off after installing the side skirts.

you're not kidding about the replica kit being more chunky than the OEM...really noticeable with the sides...there's a gap in the front lip too...
IMO the sides look better without the mud guards

The bottom rear bumper needs to hang lower so it'll be roughly the same height from the ground as the side skirts are. Lowering the car won't fix the problem.
Maybe the missing rear lip will fix this problem.

That looks much better.
The rear lip makes the car look much more proportional now.
Now you just need to fix the actual fit of the rear lip so it'll look flush with the bumper and of course fix the way your LS tips stick out from the lip.
