Veilside V1 Front / Side height
I have a Veilside V1 front lip and I'm thinking about adding (replica) Veilside V1 side underwings. Can anyone with this setup chime in regarding how high the front, side underwing sits relative to the back corner of the front lip? What I'm concerned about is having the front side underwing sit lower than the front lip. Thanks in advance....pictures will be appreciated!

Thanks for the pics guys. Hopefully I can get these replicas to fit as well as they do in these pictures.
Waizz, whose replicas did you have? Mine are from M1 and I was just out in the garage test fitting them onto the OEM side skirts, which are currently off the car. This is the fit I got on the rears....doesn't quite make sense to me. There is a huge gap between the wing and the side skirt where it wraps around the bottom. In yours and calin's photos it looks like the wing fits right up against the side skirt. Any thoughts?

EDIT: Brian of course I understand your position, and understand that you probably don't want to answer my question.

That looks like it's the rear right of the sideskirt. Are you sure thats not the piece that goes on the front left? Just a thought

In this picture the mounting flange is bottomed out against the mating surface on the bottom of the side skirt, so it can't fit any better. I'm thinking the only way I can get these to look remotely correct is to cut off that mating flange where the screws would go, and rely on 3M tape to hold them on, although that's probably just asking for trouble.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the rear right piece. The front pieces have a "step" on the flange that mounts to the bottom of the side skirt (where the screws go through), to match the contour of the side skirt. The mounting flange on the rear pieces is flat the whole length.

You definitely have it in the right place/side thats how a friend of mine skirts were, they were a bad replica, did you get them pre painted? I say sell those definitely do not cut them and 3M them that wont work if anything take them to a body shop and see it they can get them to fit better.
