I've thought about them as well but will likely pass. I appreciate those that have them to make their car different.

The main turn off for me is that they just look like they were "bolted" on. As opposed to integrated with the car.

As for functionality, they can be an expensive cone deflector for autoXing.

I like the idea of the Comptech skirts myself. Comptech took what Honda did and then completed the look so that the sides of the car don't look weird. And they're still finished "professionally" to match the front lip, with the black rubber edging...

I think the yellow is a Comptech as well, you just can't see the front part because the wheels are turned to the left.
