Talking well...

you want to stay on the roads and have a chance to actually pimp the ride out and get some use from it...if its that bad just get the radar detector.

I say slow down and get the skirts!!!! U gotta drive slow anyways so everybody can see!!! It will be a very good improvement and it gives more contour lines to the GS in my opinion.

I don't have them personally...but I've seen Mr Sypher's car in person and it's sweet...the install is a piece of cake!!! you can do it yourself in a matter of....let's say 45 min??? There is a write up on it somewhere here...but out of an entire kit, the skirts are the easiest to put on.

My vote for the Skirts!!!!

I'd save your money for bail. Sounds like you're ready to have a good drunk driving accident and you'd just crack up the grill and skirts and have to get new ones. The V1 would get impounded with your car. Seriously, drinking and driving is not cool.

IF I had to pick one for a sober driver , I'd say get the V1. It will save you money in the long run.

if you do the skirts yourself and don't do it properly, it'll appear wavy at an angle under maybe 35 degrees. even a professional install can only minimize it. besides, if its gonna get painted, it won't cost much for someone to install it.

but i always say the V1.

I agree with the majority, Val1. If you don't have a license (or car for that matter), you can't enjoy the skirts or grill.

Well,

I'm glad to hear that u think and drive and that you also have given my input some thought!!! Price ranges from place to place...Example...I have a shop painting my skirts for $100 here in NYC (i know the guy and I'm really only paying for the paint and couple bucks for labor) as for other places...could run you about $200 for skirts installed and for the grill???? I'd say maybe $50 at the most!! Just check out your local shops and do some research as with everything else you do in life.. Hope this helps!!

Danny

Save your money! Get everything you want at once. Save you some time and money when it comes to painting your parts. Or you can drink more.. haha j/k
