Aspec look with out sideskirt

I got the front lip and the back lip off a 05 aspec. I want to put it on my car but should i even try to find the side skirts? i am wonder if its looks funny with out it or if any has that setup.

thanks

Most everyone here will tell you to do it all, or don't do it at all. Personally, I would like to see some pics also, so I can decide for myself.

IMO- the sideskirts are the least drastic change in terms of the ASPEC kit i.e. it won't look funny. Personally, I would try and get the sideskirt but that's just me.

yeah, i was thinking about doing this myself, just the front and back. Ive seen it on a couple of cars and I like the look. It does give the car a different feel to it. Imma try it when I get my kit, and if i dont like it, im going to put on the side skirts.

If you can put the back and the front together, you will find that the side skirts are very easy to install.

well the price is not that much more for sideskirts.. how much is the front and rear you are getting? if it is close to 700.00 .. just get the whole kit for 800.00 .. but most wont even be able to tell the difference..

i have seen them without, and it doesnt look right. the type-s is a different story, the stock type-s sides are not much different then the aspec upgrade. but it will definitely look like somethings missing without. you can wait, but it is almost guaranteed that you will end up buying them once you see what it looks like. but if its not in the budget, just wait it out, but i would plan on it eventually.

I think that those wheels might actually have too much lip. Plus, they're staggered which is odd on a front wheel drive.

thats cool, if you like then thats all that matters. i was just giving my opinion. its not that it looks bad or anything, but i just think the sides make it look better. they are both lower, and wider. so when you are looking at the car from the front corner, you can tell that the front and back flare out, while the sides tuck in.

even though you may not WANT them, you should still get them, even if its just to make me happy

I dont think missing side skirts will make THAT much of a difference but I would def get them if you can.

i dont think anyone will notice it unless they looked real hard. the change isnt much.

PS: i think only tl owners will notice the difference
