I'm pretty sure I've seen this look before.

the big question is which would you really prefer? I'm sure it looked good when I saw it last but is that what you really want?

Check out the pics I recently posted with MS sideskirts and appearance package combined. Looks damn good, IMO:

If you do act on this, think about lowering your car to offset the front. Because the appearance package is shorter than those side skirts. I believe Omicron lowered his because of it.

how would lowering the car change the sideskirts being a 1/2" lower then the front lip... its going to be there no matter what

FWIW - I have this setup and it looks good to me

I saw an 8 the other day with a CF appearance package front lip with the AutoExe (Ver2) CF side skirts (and INGS spoiler). It looked really good and I think it matched up ok.

app package front lip with Ms skirts looks a lil out of place to me...it still looks clean but for some reason it looks a little off.

^^ I agree. The little bit that looks off (personally) bothers me. One reason why I mentioned the combo I saw the other day... it seemed to match up well and the car looked pretty hot.

you lower more on the front... makes front look lower. side view you can't change, but corner views you can. and corner views of our cars are sexy- just look at kel's

I don't think anyone has done this yet, but I think the appearance package front and rear will look good with the AutoExe sides.

i fail to see a noticeable difference... especially because the only part thats lower is the color accent piece which looks more like a nice trim piece

-maybe i'm a bit jaded though-

I think I see what he is saying. Kinda like having the car at a decreasing angle? Overall the skirts will always be lower than the front though.
