Default Veilside V3 sideskirts question(s)

For those that have them (or seen 'em), I'm wondering if the V3 sideskirts work without the entire V3 bodykit. I've seen the V3 body and overfender kit and it's too over-the-top for me.

The sideskirts, however, have that high-tech, aero F1 underwing look that holds my attention. But pictures don't seem to convey any sense of how much they bulge from the sides, so I'm trying to solicit some feedback.

Finally, who's got the best price on these? Best I've seen is just under $650.

Thanks in advance for any and all answers.

They bulge pretty far. The skirts are overemphasized like the rest of the kit.

I like the Vizage sideskirts and rear you selected. Looks good in Redline! Do you have the V1 carbon lip up front? May I ask where you sourced your body kit from and how much it cost for paint and installation?

The side skirts can be used without the wide body overlays and they dont bulge out that far they are just shaped different than the stock ones and are a little lower.

Coletta Z- Thanks for the feedback and photo! Glad to hear (and see) that the V3 sideskirts aren't quite so wide. But looking at your photo and list of mods now makes me a bit concerned about ground clearance on the V3's. When you say that the sideskirts are a "little lower", can you give me some estimate of how much lower they are than stock? My car is lowered and I'd rather not be dragging any fiberglass over the speedbumps.

honestly if you are lowered you may scrape a litte over speed bumps if you were not lowered you would'nt have a problem.I just barly scrape some speed bumps if I dont take them at an angle.

By the way I have the eibach spings.

Thanks for the reply. I've got more suspension mods, including the Prokit springs, and want to make sure they're compatable with any body kit.

Did you order your V3 kit locally, or do you have any suggestions on where to buy from?
