Oh wow..i like these...im gonna buy a set for sure. Just not at the moment...

great product!!! They look nice..!!

Oh hell yeah! Can you say paint protection!!!

I want a set, will likely have you ship them wth the Combat Wing when ready!

Can we see pictures of them on a 2nd gen Stealth side skirt? They are straight and do not flare like the 3kGT

Got me a set (;

A car with a front splitter and rear diffuser would really look great with these!

Interested in two sets (maybe three), but may wait until the jury is in regarding durability and road testing. Any discount for purchasing more than one set?

Frank, I ordered up a set last week.

If you're on the fence you can check mine out when I get them in.

The way I see it, I think these will line up with the front oem chin spoiler on the '99 front end.

Pic of the underside of the splitter? Wondering if it is hollow or just shaped that way.

From the phone.

Out of curiosity, do these fit 1g?

Nice, is the underside hollow or is it a flat surface?

I see that the side is hollow and it looks as though the underside is flat but I just want to be sure. The inside facing hollow part I would probably fill with expandable foam to keep the airflow out but I'd want to see install pics from the underside to see how much of the hollow side is exposed.

Looks awesome. Can't wait for my set to arrive!

Do they cover the pinch weld? I jack from there, would these be safe in that location, then?

Damn! That looks really good! Please take some pics on a 1g (or send me a set for free and I will;)). Also, make a 1g front lip in the same style as those side-skirts and I'm in.

It looks like it will tuck up right behind the pinch weld. If it doesn't I will be modifying mine as I sue those a lot.

Can't wait till my set comes in. Looks great!

Speed tested?

My concern is the shape of the underside. that unfinished/concave underside will play havoc with the air passing under it and I don't think I'd trust it at high speeds. it really needs to be a smooth flat surface. Those downward rolled edges on the underside would generate lift and drag. Probably to the point at high speeds it would tear them right off of the self taping screws. That is all assumption though based off of the underside shape.

half the time 3/s cars are on jackstands...c'mon now...

Once I saw the shape of the underside I lost interesting these. With the "unfinished/concave underside" it will play havoc with the air passing underneath the car. These provide no function at all, only looks.

A flat piece of ABS black plastic cut out the same shape would be better for the airflow.

Or even a flat sheet of metal, the important thing is "FLAT"

Not so sure it is as much of an issue as you are making it out to be.

A speed test will tell the tale. (GoPro vid)
It is also solved pretty easily by filling/sloping the leading, and trailing under-edge with filler, or spray foam. THe outside edge has no effect. Not something the end user should have to do granted, but can easily be done before shipment of the product.

Also understand that if this is glassed in to fill the void you just threw your jacking ability out the window.

You can leave a small section out for the jacking points or make a removable plug to still use them.

Mine were so bad from the previous owners, both side welds are all bent to shit all the way down the sides I had to pry a lot of it back as straight as I could to get the side skirts on. I use the front jack point under the bumper with my low-pro jack and the trailer hitch to raise the rear. One it is high enough on the 1st or 2nd notch of the jack stand the I use different points on the rear and front sub-frame.

I've been to 150mph several times with mine on my FD which are only held on by 4 screws using existing screw holes since i wouldnt allow adding holes to my car and 3M 2 sided tape. They are still there.

Oh and yes of course these are just cosmetics. No on here is fast enough of a driver for them to be a functional aero part.
