I am in the process of buying a bumper for my car but on the fence of should I take the side skirts or not. At the first glance, it looks okay but the more I look at it, the more I feel it is a bit overdone and does not flow with bodylines? What do you think? Besides techart skirts, what are my options? Thanks in advance for chiming in.

Ken, I will be honest, I think it looks better without the skirts.

Mixed opinions on this, but I think it's a bit overkill, the Techart Bumper looks spot on!
