It's OK, but the flare of the skirts really compliments the front and rear lips.

I think It'll look goofy. The OEM body kit makes the car look a tad bit lower. So your front and rear will look lower, but the sides won't. Why would you not want the side skirts?

I have the front lip and stock side skirts for now. I'll be getting the rear lip very soon.







IF you want to see more pics, let me know

because they're look-a-likes of a corolla-S?

I can't stand the sideskirts on the ground effects, the only ones I've seen that look decent are the raven ones. I have seen a TC in person with stock sideskirts + rest of GFX and it didn't look bad, but it looked out of place after he put aftermarket wheels on.

I don't know what you're smoking, but where can I get some? They look nothing like the corolla-s side skirts. The corolla s sideskirts don't even sit flush. This is because they are added on the stock sideskirts. The tC ground effects side skirts are replacements, so they sit flush and look like they came that way.

don't EVER compare the tC to a corolla

i agree and disagree... first.. getting a front lip without the sides or rear.. will look off.. no matter which front lip you get..

i do agree... that "if" you go with either fatory wheels or aftermarket wheels with a "factory correct" offset.. the OEM ground affects kit does not look all the great.. the wheels tuck to far into the fender .... HOWEVER... offset the wheels correctly and it makes all the difference... i have the factory ground affects kit.. and 19's.. with a 45 offset.. never liked to look at the car from certain angles because the wheels were way tuck in... i have since added 15mm spacers to the rear and it made al the difference in the world.... im looking at doing spacers up front too.. not so much 15mm but maybe 10...i have tried 5mm spacers up front and that even made alittle difference in the way the car looked.. but it can stand to go out alittle more.....

i "liked" the ground affect kit.. however.. "i love it" now that the wheels came out..
