Liquid - does the AC kit include side skirts? If you can I would love to see a side picture.

Thanks. Yours is looking really nice too. Now that I have the kit on, I'm seeing the advantage of your air suspension. I scraped the underneath of the front bumper a couple times. Luckily you can't see it unless you stick your head under the car. Which is hard to do with four inches of clearance.

It doesn't have side skirts, but it's designed to flow pretty well without them. Someone (Talwang I think) posted a shot of an AC kit with different side skirts that looked nice. Might be in the "which kit do you like best" thread. Don't remember for sure.

Very nice! Yes flow looks good.

Hi Liquid

I scraped mine a couple of times too, and that was with a standard bumper.
Now that I have the air I can take the car anywhere which is great.
I still tense up going over speed bumps even with the car raised as I am so used to it grounding out. I am sure I will soon be confident that it won't hit and be a little more relaxed.

Side view is great and as you say it does not need side skirts as it seems to flow perfectly and your wheels make the car look great.

Best regards
Steve

Thanks. The design on the interior of the lights is a little cleaner on 06+. If I could find an undamaged pair at a reasonable price, I would consider buying them. But every pair I've seen on ebay has broken mounting tabs. Wasn't worth it to me to mess with it.

I'm with you on that one, first pair I bought had some broken tabs and I didn't want to bother making my own tabs. Ended up finding a mint set but they cost way more. Just keep looking and they're bound to pop up.

Don't the '06+ lights fit different? Seems like your kit wouldn't look as good in the front if you changed lights. I think it looks sweet. I might have to copy it since I have the same color SC. Nice job!

Car looks great. The lights are shaped just a tad different but yes they light itself is so much cleaner looking.

Thanks. The inside corners extend out a little bit further, so I'd have to trim the bumper a bit to make it look right. Which would mean repainting it. Which would be more work than I think it's worth.

So far, so good. It's fiberglass, so I'm always a bit nervous I'll come out and find someone bumped it. I try to avoid parallel parking in tight spaces. I've scraped the bottom of the from bumper a couple times, but no damage.
