Needs spacers, and I would raise the ride height a bit too. I think it will actually look a bit more aggressive at a higher ride height, like tops of tires just about even with the tops of the wheel arches, maybe even tucking tire just a bit. It will give you a lot less headaches when you have your expensive carbon fiber add-on pieces installed too.
I'll go against the grain and say you should take the pdip off the lips. For me, the selling point of the RH J8's is the super deep polished lip.
EDIT: Also, not a huge fan of the silver grille mesh in the fornt bumper. Matte black (to match your headlights) would look better IMO.
Sorry, reading back on this it looks like an overwhelmingly negative review. The car is coming along nicely and I think it will look great. Just some criticisms for the time being.

Lol no way man everything you said was taken into account. I need to raise the front a bit because I rub when I turn. Also, I was thinking of getting camber arms in the rear so that will help push the top of the wheel out and sit flush. The wheels were re-done and relipped to be wider and sit flush for the Zs.
Also that mesh grille I forgot to tell my guy to paint them black when I dropped off the bumper lol. I ll take it off and paint it black for sure.

Finally installed the sides. Still molding a front lip so in the mean time I have a temp on. I have 10mm spacers coming in as well as SPC rear camber arms. Received my rare JDM harness cover. Figured id start working on the engine bay.
The sides were probably the easiest body part to install. We used rivets instead of bolts and they are not gonna come off even if I want them to.
painted the middle of the bumper black as well as the grill.
Also finally had a chance to wash and clay the whole car.

Previously I suggested removing the plastidip from the wheel lips, and now I am thinking twice about that. The sideskirts and diffuser really tie in the all-black wheels.
Next time I have an extra $750 laying around, I may have to pick up a set of these side skirts finally.
Can you answer me one thing? How far below the very bottom of the stock side skirt does the Chargespeed sideskirt hang? Trying to judge ground clearance, and also gauge how it would look with my Mine's front lip.
