The skirts are supposedly a mini style M3 sides skirt made by Andy'sAutosport. I believe it was meant for a 4 door Jetta, the 2nd to the last gen. It didn't fit on my car so It had to be modified just a bit and been on it for over 3 years. It just needed a little bit of a makeover, ya know.

Btw, it'll fit on any car with little mods. I'll sell it for very cheap if anyone of you are interested. Even better if you have a DB8 like mine and all you'll need to do is just mound the skirt into place.

Guys, does the car look a bit naked now? What makes the old sides skirt so unique than the one on there now. Obviously, I'm getting less attention now other than the speed junkies out there.

I would keep the old side skirts, and paint the mesh in the grill black or remove it and show off that FMIC.

Nice Car

The shaved moldings, sparcos, and FMIC make it damn clean.

Thanks for the compliments. Keep 'em coming.

As for the exhaust, it's a Greddy SP.

man where have you been... no on here for a while =P

anyway PAINT those stock skirts and it will look fine. and lose the guards (or take off the fronts and cut off the bottom of the rears so that you don't see behing the rear bumper)
