I did it to my civic, (sorry no pictures). It does wonders for your car. It's very clean looking, like stock ground effects. It looks like you've upgraded your car a trim level. in my book.

Oh yeah...it's not worth doing at home, especially if your car is not black or white (too hard to match=looks like poop). Most paint shops will do skirts, side mouldings, and front and rear bumper lips for less than $200.

Trust the pros to do it. It's worth the $$$ in the long run. Nothing is uglier when the paint starts to peel or full of scuff marks from shoes, etc.
