Default Greddy side skirt question.



After two years of looking at different side skirts on this forum, I'm still liking the Greddy side skirts.

Now that I have narrowed it down to this skirt, I was hoping people who have this skirt to answer a question about them that I've always been curious about. Do the Greddy side skirt go lower then the OEM side skirt? I would like to get a side skirt that is longer in length to the OEM side skirt so it can make a ground effect of the car being lower.

Thanks.

Well, that sucks. I figured they would have made it longer to fit the lines of the front lip height? Still one of my favorite side skirts, just wished it was at least half an inch or 3/4 of an inch lower.

i was glad it wasnt any lower b/c i would be in big trouble with all the pot holes here already broke my front lip once...got it repaired though...and the sides are fiberglass so they would probably just shatter if they ever hit the ground

but i can see where your coming from with wanting them lower

Even tho they aren't noticebly lower, they are in fact lower. If you look at the stock side skirts they curve under the car kinda. The Greddy sides are somewhat more blocky or straight so it does appear to be slightly lower. It gives the impression of being lower without actually causing a clearance issue.

I agree with you, they are my favorite sides and thats why i got them. They are very well liked as well. Visual improvement while remaining tasteful.

Can the grill in the hole be taken out? I'd rather have no grill or at least paint it black to make it not as noticable.

The paint color seems a little off or did you have it painted that way?

It could be off and it could be because when you take a photo, it enhances the differences in colour.

Example, when I take a picture of my interior, for some reason, you notice a huge difference in the blackness of the leather seat to the floor mat or to the panels.
