i would stick with oem metal, the body lines are too tight for the fit not to be perfect

they do not make metal sideskirts bro.
to the O/P - you should be fine with fiberglass, however i would check on ebay or on the h-t classifieds for some OEM skirts. The fiberglass wont be bad, just not as durable as the stuff that Honda uses.

if they are the fiberglass oem optional ITR sides I would just say go for it. many peeps have used them w/o problems. plus the real oem optioal sides are going for $400+ these days.

People make it as if the optional fiberglass sides are bad. In fact they are not at all. Why pay a outrageous amount just for the real deal? I have the replica rear and side and the fitment is super duper.

theres fiber glass sides on ebay for 130$ shipped. there on allll the time. i bought them and it came with the weather stripping and the fiberglass was thick and looks amazing. for 130$ its a steal and its stupid to pay 300$+ for real ones.
