I guess the answer is yes! The 00-04 Ground Effects Appearance Package Skirts and Rear Fascia do fit. :D First one took me about 5 hours had to figure out where to put the holes since the 05+ doesn't come with the rocker molding from the factory thus no holes. :? Left side should take less time.

I'd say it flows pretty decent with the FS lip. :D

I seriously love how your car is coming together, except for one thing. The rims, kill it man. Sorry if you are big into chrome, but they do NOT flow at all.

Get something a little less 'ghetto' for wheels (y2k has some 18" oz wheels for sale, which = baller status) and your car would scream sexy.

Just my word of advice.

Keep it up though!

Yeah I know you guy's don't like my wheels, too bad I do, but hey I'm medicated :lol:

Thanks for the compliments.

One thing I have noticed in the pictures (once you get past the reflecting light of the ghetto grippers :wink: ) is that I have to paint the bottom of the rocker seams that stick out beneath the skirts black so they don't show up/stick out.
Maybe I should change my screen name to Ghettogetter.... :lol:

Yeah, rocker rails need to be painted black.

Ever thought about getting bigger wheels if the chrome is your thing? The little rims just look goofy in chrome and all...

Nothings wrong with chrome, it's just the 3 spoke design is kind of wierd. But it doesn't bother me... I was gonna say those rocker panels should be painted black too. Good to see it all coming together nicely tho Brian.

I'm just not a huge fan of chrome in general. Whatever works for you though. Side skirts look real nice

Yeah, I don't mind chrome(superchargers :lol: ) But Chevys Cadilacs and Buicks have ruined me of chrome. Chrome used to stand for balla status and upgraded trim levels. Now when I see Chrome, I just think of cheap plastic and breaking parts. You know, chrome has taken a backseat to high level looks, if you know what I'm saying.

But thats just my opinion. It is your car, so have at er.

Was the factory double sided tape enough to keep the front the skirt on? Before I left I was having trouble with the tape not holding and pulling away on the front.

Looks very nice by the way!

Thanks, and I did not try just the tape I drilled all the holes and used the press in keepers and bolts as required.

Yah, I know what your trying to do o2, get 18's with straight spokes, maybe even painted ones and get rid of those chrome 17's! :lol:

hmm??? I used all the bolts and the press in keepers too, but the front still keeps pulling away. I'll have to try new tape or something.
Where did you get your kit from? I know that when I got mine there were only 5-6 of them left at dealerships across the US.

if you are going to keep with the chrome wheels, then maybe you should consider adding some more chrome to accent it, such as door handles and mirror/mirror caps
