Here's a bB without skirts.

keep in mind our front and rear bumpers are supposed to have skirts and will look kinda funny without them since they have "mounting areas" for the skirts built in, and they will be exposed without them.

seeing the xb with no side skirts is kinda taboo like seeing relatives bangin

that white and silver b would be dope if you dropped it 2 inches put some skirts on it and popped them hubbies off

the bumpers are stock. I took my bodykit off because I am looking for a new one and the dealership could not do the warranty work with out removing the side skirts. Since the sides had to go might as well get the ghetto two tone.

When I put my kstyle lips on, I didnt even think to take a few pics when it was all stripped down. Maybe I didnt cuz it was so hideous...

They only came on bB's in Japan, as far as I know only the 2000-2003 models could be ordered that way.

Actually, I think if it was done right, it could look kind of cool.
I thought about doing it with the lowered, steelies/trim ring/wide whitewall look myself for kind of an old custom/hot rod effect, or it could be done with a tucked-under front lip to give sort of a Euro city-car kind of look, too.
Unfortunately, we're so used to the way they look with the skirts and lips, it takes a while to get used to it.

I guess by losing the skirts and lips it would allow for a more lowered stance without grinding away at the plastic parts. It would take some getting used to tho.

Dang, that looks like it's channeled like 4 inches. The front tires would be up through the top of the fenders. So much for the fuel filler and rear door jams too.
