Default Chargespeed rear with stock skirts anyone?

I am having my rear bumper cover replaced due to a rearend accident.... and thought it would be a good time to "upgrade", so am going with a Chargspeed Vis replica. (Please, no comments about the replica - I prefer the "one-piece" look). Anyone have pics of this style rear with stock skirts? I have searched, but haven't seen it.

EVENTUALLY, I'll get the skirts replaced too with the chargespeed or similar, but don't have the cash to do them right at the moment.

it'll look stupid for awhile but who cares if you are going to do the skirts later on. the skirts painted are pretty cheap.

the Z's rear end already points up, when compared to the rest of the car. I think it will just balance it out

It can probably be pulled off till you get the sides. Are you going to paint the diffuser area a different color?

Beast is right, the rear end comes up kinda high factory, that Chargespeed will lower it down some and level it out. It'll look alright 'till you get the sides ( I used to have the whole kit, and recently sold all but the front ).

The Vis has a CF overlay... I'm going to have them clear it only.

i wish the chargespeed didn't have that hideous hole inbetween the exhaust outlets. Looks like an a$$hole.

I think it looks just fine. It's a hole with mesh I believe. If it wasn't there I think it would look like

Heck, that not only looks like it could have come from the factory that way... it looks like it SHOULD have come from the factory that way!

Thanks!!
