I wouldn't expect them to fall off all by themeselves, but I've seen a couple of pics posted by people who managed to knock them off somehow, and it wasn't pretty. But, as you say, to each their own. Those eyelid things look weird to me too, but lots of other people seem to like them

 

nah i wouldnt get them, i took em off for a cleaner look then went to aftermarket sideskirts...(much better IMO)

no they arent functional

 

Looks =

Functionality =

 

I think these look much better, and much more "balanced"

Comptech side skirts:


The urethane version is now out as well.

 

hmm.. what sideskirt is the last yellow one?

on-topic: i have em.. came with the car installed too... but wouldn't pay for em..

 

Thanks everyone for the advice. Having seen th;e pics, I am not sure they are for me. Thanks again.

 

- the part that throws it off is how it is NOT even with the bottom of the car...

 

dut, still with the "-" responses! LOL

 

- I know, its a damn habit that I can't break...
- I started doing it when I starting working at my job (3 years ago)
- we had to document calls and I use to start each line with the "-"

 

I think they look good on the car. It gives it a more wider or girthier look from the front and 3 quarter view.

Remember that you have to drill into the sideskirt so once they're on.......THERE ON!!

You can install them yourself and probably do a better job than the dealership. One of the problems with the dealers is that they don't change the drill bit before drilling the holes in the side. The holes for the pushpins are smaller than the holes in the wheel well.

If you have the OEM spoiler and front lip, I'd get the side strakes. It's preference. I personally don't like a lot of the aftermarket side skirts but others do.

It's just another accessory that will make your car stand out from other S's. For some it's a cosmetic preference to have or not have them. For others it's a money issue. They don't come cheap and cost almost as much as the damn spoiler (3piece). If you can buy some used that would be cool.

Here's a picture with mine. (as if you haven't already seen them before )
They go well with the front lip because they follow the same line as the built in canard on the front bumper.
