Im having this dilemma here. I ordered an aftermarket bumper and am in the process of getting the side to go w/ it ( going OEM on rear for sure).

I cant decide if I should go OEM sideskirt or aftermarket side skirt. the obvious answer of cause is the aftermarket side, but I will be driving the car all year long ( From canada, so ~ 5months/year Im driving on snow) Im already planning of switching between aftermarket and OEM bumper between summer and winter repsectively ( I was told Ic an do that easily, correct me if I was mis-informed).

Now Im wondering if I should just get OEM so it will proably be easier on the snow, but doesnt look as good. Or should I just get aftermarket side and deal w/ it when winter comes.. or can aftermarket side be removed as easily as the front bumper.

any opinion will be greatly appreciated.

PS. I have seen this pic http://www.dmix.net/rx-8/images/car_...o/nma/2-FS.jpg so I know it will look a bit weird. But my car has the front splash guard so maybe not AS bad. If anyone else haev an aftermarket front + OEM side please post

thanks
