Default OEM Body kit w/o Side skirts?

what is your opinion on the look of the OEM body kit? I like it, but is it worth it to get the side skirts?

I'm choices are either getting the full body kit painted, or getting each piece separately primered, then having a body shop pain the front and rear lip. Would the colors match? (BSP tc) and whats the average cost for them to paint?

The side skirts compliment it well, but they're not that drastically different....

Why get them painted, as they come painted to match already???

Paint gets pricey quick....

Well you can buy them primered... but then you have to pay for them to be painted and installed. You'd have to do the math with your own shops, but it might be cheaper to just buy pre-painted and have dealer install.

Please get SOME sideskirts with that. It wont look good at all with just the front and back. If youre gonna do that you might as well leave them primered.

I dont think the sideskirts change the look of the car that much or even at all. I think the front and rear without the sides would look good. Get some pics if you do get it though.

The Sideskirts are the coolest thing on this Kit. The two edges on either side bulge out and perfectly meet the flow of the front rear lip. Not to mention they are about an inch lower to the ground then the stock bunper. It will create a
______-----------_______ Look to your car, and that's not very pimp. If you don't want spend for the whole thing just get the front lip. I've seen it and its not so bad.
