mph2k - did you use the gray or black liner that came with it?

The side skirts are too bulky. Perhaps it wouldn't stick out so much if the parts in the wheel well were painted black?

Can you take some better pictures? I have the same color and have doubts if I should even waste my time and money to put this kit on.

Default carson kit

I didn't use the gaskets/liners that came with it. they were really wavy and my shop was unable to put it on. As for the sideskirts they are ery subtle when on the car in person. Can't really notice the skirts. They don't stick out at all. I had second thoughts about the kit before I had it painted. Once i have it on the car now its looks good to me and flows well. I'll try to have pics up tonight but not sure if i have the time.

That's why I'm waiting till I get my wheels and springs to mount my kit.

As soon as he drops the car and puts 20's on, all that is going away. Looks pretty good, I wonder if that rear cut out detail might look better blacked out with a aluminum trim piece added??? Thanks for posting the pics
