Anyone taken the stock ground effects kit off and left it? What does it look like? I think the stock kit makes the car look like it was just cut off. Just curious what it looks like. Pics anyone?

Is the bottom portion (under the kit) at least painted the same as the body??

I was really curious about the sides. Most cars are curved under near the bottom, and I was curious how this would look on the xB. Then again, ours are not like most cars.

someone posted a pic quite a while ago. i thought it looked good, well, except for the 18 thousand holes that were left in its stead.

I currently have all mine ( front & rear bumpers and side skirts) off, waiting to have my body kit painted.

It is all painted underneath the side skirts. It looks really strange though, and looks as though you've given it 5 inches of ground clearance.

The sides look decent, but they need to be filled and there's an ugly lip that shows underneath the car that needs to be painted black.

I'd like to see those pics too!

I also wouldn't mind getting something on the sides that is more flush with the door.
It would help getting my disabled Mom in and out of the car.
