Exclamation Greddy Sides

Does anyone have these installed without the remaining kit? I think I may wanna just swap my stock ones for them but Im afraid itll look weird if theyre much lower. I know the mudd flaps are a little lower than the rear bumper so maybe itll look ok?

The Greddy sides are wider than OEM sides and will throw off the lines of the car without front and rear pieces to compliment them.

I agree with the other guys. I have the Greddy sides with my Vizage front/rear and they are noticibly lower and a bit wider then the stock sides. Without an aftermarket front/rear it does not look right. IMHO anyway...

Biker: Did you ever get the issue with your amazing breaking window resolved? Was it the installers fault or the ex..?

I've actually seen it...there's a guy here in Houston with it...definitely not my favorite. I think you need a lip and something at the rear to balance them out. They are very sexy sideskirts though.

It was worth a shot to see if they would work......


Well the person who broke the window was a guy I was seeing for only like 2 weeks and was over a year ago!!! But then the new window turned out to be defective so the second I turned on the defroster it began to shatter. In fact, Im still unhappy with the install, the rubber lining around the window popped out..

Well, at least it was not a stalker. And I think I recall the installer replacing it for free right..? So, it still sucked, but not as bad as thought.
Sorry about the side skirts.... maybe this is a good reason to get a front/rear setup also. That is what happened to me. I got the sides and knew I needed a front, then realized I needed a rear to match... Now I just need to find a suitable wing I like...

Good luck.

It's not that bad at all. I haven't heard anyone complaining about this look. I plan on getting a lip, but never got around to doing so. PM me for larger pictures.

Yea, on Sunday I accidentally shifted from 3rd to 2nd. The needle bounced past 8k for about 1 second as the car shook. Gosh, that was scary!

BTW, the look isn't that bad... seriously! My car still turns heads everywhere I go. I wanted to get a CF lip and add a Vertex bumper, but I decided to focus more on saving up for a house and worry about the car later.

Hey gotta give you cred, you have your priorities straight. Much better to spend your money on a house then putting it in a car.. Can't fault that. I am still at work so can't see your pics. But if you like it, that is all that matters.

Yup... the wheels were the biggest investment, and I'm happy it was more than enough to keep my car looking different here. The most recent change was with the interior lighting of my car. I've always hated amber and wanted my gauges to have the blackout look. The investment is small, but the labor was a pain. Other than that, I'm good to go for now :-)

Someone requested pictures, so here's the link:
