Type-s sides are more flared, like a-spec.

If you have a base, get the sides.

If you have a type-s, front and rear are ok.

The sides will be the last component I add.
I think it doesn't look bad without them. Thanks for posting pics!

Question. Is the side skirt another actual side skirt where you remove the OEM one? Cause I scratched mine up on a rock and was hoping the new a-spec kit is essentially a new side skirt.

Excellent. Sorry for another question, but how is the front lip connected? Is it just underneath the stock bumper?

The only drawback of the aspec sides is that they flare out more and collect dirty water/sediment, so you need to be careful getting out or your pants get mucked up.

I'm surprised no one showed ballinfizzle89's car or scotterson. I'm half and half on the side skirts because 1. The aspec sides will sit lower but 2. It compliments the rest of the kit.

Ballinfizzle89's car


Scotterson's

All the cars posted so far are sick ass cars so of course they look good. I like the way it looks with the sides, they complete the kit. Sure it looks fine without, but I think it looks better with them.

I beg to differ, an enthusiast can tell. On black cars however I think it is less obvious that you are missing the sides. In most of your shots I can't even see your side skirts.

This is true and is the only drawback. Luckily most of the time I keep my car pretty damn clean. Today it was raining though and I was wearing beige slacks to work so I had to be careful.

I think having the aspec sideskirts make a pretty good amount of difference only after people tell you that they do in person lol
