Ground effects, keep or ditch?
I installed a Xenon ground effects kit in late 2005, it was really cool at the time but now i think i'm ready to go back to stock. I always get compliments on my car but i'm just unsure about these ground effects, another problem i have is i want to drop the car in the future and with this kit it's a no no. Here's a few pics:

I say keep the effects, they give the illusion that its already lowered.

it's only an illusion though...that last picture seals the deal for me. It sits too high. I say take them off.

They look good. What if you only lowered it an inch? I believe hotchkis sells a 1 inch lowering kit.

I took them off except for the front bumper i just got tired of looking at it. My initial intention was to find the RS ground effects but they are next to impossible to find at a decent price so i went with that kit. Now i need an oem front bumper

Get rid of them in my personal opinion. But you know opinions are like A-holes.

Go back to stock-look!

Thank you How are those headlights treating you? I'm thinking about upgrading the projectors.

I love them. I don't drive the car at night very much. They are blue at night. I bought some halo foglights for the car too. Talk about pricey! Now the fun of wiring them up!

I've always like the RKSport front lip for the catfish.



Just swap out the Xenon front for that one.
