not to mention those fender protectors trap moisture and cause your fenders to rust out. Whenever you see Japanese cars with large chunks of their fenders rusted out, 95% of the time they had these things on...

That is exactly what you should do. Especially as far as the sideskirts are concerned. Because your vertex (style) front lip is larger and lower than OEM, it looks really inconsistent with the GFX sides, which flare outward and are not of a matching length/height or style.

Otherwise, the front and rear look good!
