Sideskirt Opinion Poll
I just added a TL-S rear bumper & exhaust to my Base '06 NBP TL and want to change my side skirts to either the Type-S or A-Spec ones. I have the front under spoiler installed but no plan to install the rear under spoiler, just a personal choice.
To my eye there is only a subtle difference between the two, with the A-Spec set being more aggressive, maybe a bit too much without a rear kit. The biggest difference I see is that you can use color matched splash guards with the Type-S ones but cannot with the A-Spec set.
So A-Zine, which would flow best with my existing setup?
1: Type-S Side skirts
2: A-Spec Side skirts
3: Type-S Side skirts w/ front & rear color matched splash guards
4: A-Spec Side skirts w/ rear only color matched splash guards
Thanks to all in advance.

I did the same mod and was considering option 2 and 3. The only reason I like option 3 is because it keeps crap off of your car and they're color matched, so it adds a little to the stock Type-S rear bumper. In the end I think I will go with the A-Spec sides since I prefer these body lines more, but still not sure about the rear Type-S aspec lip. Good luck with your choice!

I've got a weird combo of my own. A spec front with stock type s side skirts with NON color matched bud guards lol.
Only way I would switch to a spec side skirts is if I find them cheap cause the difference is not worth the cost to me.

Thanks to all for your votes, comments and pics; the pics are really helpful! Good to see some of the possible (weird combo) variations...
BigPZ, your comments past and present are slowly changing my mind; and your TL is a beauty.
I guess my main question is will the A-Spec skirts sharper bottom edge flow well with the Type-S rear bumper's thicker bottom edge? If so then I can go with A-Spec skirts & possibly a set of rear only splash guards.
