Normally I love the kami kit but I think those side skirts need some work. They just don't look right to me.

I am not hating on the kit. I actually really like the kami side skirts. I am just saying on this particular install I think they need some work. They seem to be flaring out. Not trying to hate, just trying to help.

I hear ya! I used to rock the Kami kit... looks great on BSP. Really makes the tC look aggressive.

I have a full, authentic kami kit as well.. and i am no longer a fan of the sideskirts at all.

My opinion stems from the fact that they do not replace the OEM skirts, but rather are mounted on top of them (and in fact are anchored through them with screws).

truly annoying.

matter of fact, I am falling out of love with the kami front bumper as well, thanks to the weird placement of the fog light holes. at this rate, I may just try my hand at designing something completely custom, since I now have to have some bodywork done.

I like the side skirts although a lot of others don't. Placing them over the stockers doesn't bother me as it helps with the stability. My side skirts didn't stick out anything like the ones posted above.

that front bumper looks like a replica but the rest of the kit looks authentic, either that or the pictures have poor clarity
