So this is where I'm at:

Need your honest opinions on the white Rinspeed side skirts. Maybe it's just me but I dont know if I'm feeling it? Crazy Y/N? I do/did like the OEM skirts in black. Maybe I need to do somthing else. (Lip will remain black )







Here are a few with the black OEM skirts. Mirrors went all black after these shots. I kind of like the black lip then OEM black skirts then white TA diffuser.





Does it look to ricey? Your honest opinions would be much appreciated-

Thanks

dont doubt yourself...that looks really good...new side skirts look very simple and not too over the top...exhaust tips look phenomenal!

I agree with PorscheC4, looks great, if I were going to change anything, it'd be to paint the front lip to complete the look.

too much add-on look. one suggestion, look into the new side skirt on the GT2. i think that's what i'll do instead.

Thanks. I exchanged the OEM for the Euro red. You can see the change in the first couple of photos.

Maybe to much white? I have a spare so maybe I will check it out.
