Does the 1'' flare line up better with the GFX rear lip, its hard to see in pictures but i hear its easier to see in person? but if the OEM lines up just as well id rather put that money toward the rear lip.

when you have them both it flares perfect together...looks perfect like how it's designed to be...I had the rear alone at first but when I added the sides it gave the car a better look

the GFX sides are pretty noticeable when you step into and out of your car. The 1+ inch difference gives it a more aggressive yet subtle look

Relatively easy if you follow the instructions Sewell provides. Just remove a copy of screws/clips and then pop the old ones off and new ones on. ~1 hr for both sides and not much to go wrong if you're patient.

Very very very easy. Helps if you have someone to help you out, but not necessary.

Ive done it so many times in the past 2 months that I can do it now in 15-20 min

That sucks. For this price I would definitely get them if they sat lower than stock.

If you are passing on this deal AND your color is on clearance, you really are missing out here.

Well it depends for what look your going for. I prefer for side skirts to sit lower instead of flaring out (my personal taste) so I have vertex sides instead.

Funny thing is I actually ordered SGM gfx sides on sale but ended up selling them to a friend because they would not go with the look Im going for

Purchased mine yesterday, I'm really excited to get such a quality part for so cheap honestly... don't have to worry about fit or paint color. Why cant everything be on sale?
