Default Side Skirt Question, RMM vs L-tuned

I am debating if I should get ride of my RMM sides to pick up the L-tuned. I have been going back and forth about this since I picked up the L-sportline front bumper. After the L-sportline bumper gets intall , the TTE lip is up for sale as well.

Note: The TTE lip will not be removed until the weather breaks (March, April) so please no PM, thanks....

But anyway, which sides do you think will flow better

here is the RMM sides... (on someones car here on CL)

And here is the L-tuned sides (on Wringo's sick wip)

Which one would flow the best with the L sportline nose?

Post #24 has a picture of the L-sportline, L-tuned, RMM combo......

Which one hangs lower to you? I know one is bowed and the other is straight but I'm caught in the middle. I like them both but want to switch it up a bit.

Here is how my car looks now....

Thanks fella...

I just installed the same combo. L-Sportline front & rear bumpers with L-Tuned sides. I will snap a few pics sometime this weekend so you can see for yourself.

i think the l-tuned will look better with the ,l-sportline front WITH THAT SAID, we all know how rare they are, do you have the l-tuned sides? ALSO the computer im on today has the screen colors jacked up so i cant see your rear, what rear are you on?


BTW the route im going to is TTE lip on OEM,bumper L-tuned sides, and L-sportline rear
(im picking up my sides this month and hopefully my rear also)

I'll have to agree with Brian on this setup.. If I had to do it again; well i can do it again since i have 2nd GS... I would DEF go TTE Lip, Ltuned sides and L-Sportline rear..

They are popping up around here lately due to people parting out and buying newer cars. I have the RMM rear. Good luck with the purchase.

I'm tired of the TTE lip now. Time for a make over when the weather breaks.

i think the TTE is a great subtle mod that accentuates the factory body lines, this is the reason im sticking with it. although its been in my room for a year or so and i havent mounted it yet

Yeh the TTE lip is like the holy grail on CL now, but I'm getting bored of it. I always wanted the L-sportline front bumper and now I have been looking at it in my house since last year.

By the way you are a modding nut!!!! LOL
