Default Bottom line kit

I'm about to pull the trigger and get me charge speed's full bottomline kit...

Chargespeed Bottomline

I am currently using springs right now and will be moving up at a coilover stage cause I would like to flush my wheels and sick of seeing gaps lol. Anyone with bottomline have any problem scraping? Especially people with coilovers...

it adds about an inch lower, b/c it adds to the stock panels. I don't have problems with my kit, b/c I am not lowered, and even at stock height, i have issues with speed bumps at times b/c of the sideskirts.

Any kit on a lowered car will be an issue, you just need to angle and/or avoid certain situations.

Sorry, I spoke too soon. It's hard to believe it's possible, but this one is uglier still:

Oh god that car is hideous...

In other note... I plan to get the chargespeed bottomline. But maybe not in CF... too expensive for something that will get damage easily.

I recognize that Lemans. Guy is from around here. Looks like Ontario tags and I recognize the street lamp style.

A for effort. I don't think the rims match up to well in the flesh.

Will scrape without doubt. Invest in ear plugs or denial.

Not sure but i think it would look good.

Wheres the best place to purchase the chargespeed stuff as some vendors are extremely expensive.

Love this kit its great nice and subtle compared to some other snow plough ones.

^there all expensive lol, for some sides they are overpriced imo. But hey they look good and thats why im looking for a set...oh and the chargespeed name

Vex-thanks man, i think it'll look good too. I want to raise my car a tad bit bcs im tired of messing up my exhaust. But i dont like having too much gap with the stock sides and the ground (reason for me wanting these sides).

These kits always expensive... If you buy them elsewhere that is cheap... it's not the real thing. I learn that in a hard way.

I have the Mines front lip which is similar/identical to the veilside, and the bottomline lines up pretty close with the front lip. If you don't have issues with clearance with your lip, you shouldn't with the chargespeed sides (speed bumps are another story)

Only pic I have right now that you can actually see the side profile is this:



unfortunately, its dark, and my ride isn't lowered. If you want measurements, I'll be happy to do it for you, but the cars in the shop for another week, and I'm a lazy bastard (110 degree heat in lV).

Here is another that shows how much the side skirts flair out:
