Damn I love those wheels....but I would say keep the stock skirts, you still wont tuck wheels with aftermarket side skirts

keep the car the way it is, it will look dumb with sideskirts that make it "appear" lower while still having a big *** wheel well gap.

OEM is the only way to go with sideskirts.

its not an ek, for the wheels your looking at about close to a grand with tires. btw those only come in one size. 15 x 8. they dont make it in any other size. and trust me, lol u need the special size tires unless u enjoy rubbing on all four sides of the car. need to get 195/45/15

the mugen lip and rear lip were designed to flow (looks wise) with the OEM sideskirts in mind... no need to mess with the sideskirts... but if you must...

check out the tsunami side skirts

If not... keep it that way..
