DISREGARD. I checked the blog post.

"Car looks great! Do you have any level side shots? I'm curious to see how the lines flow from the front lip to the side skirts. On several other options the front lip as an upward "chin up" look that i don't like much. Side shots would be much appreciated. Thanks,"

Were the side skirts attached with screws into the metal body? I like these but would be too scared of rust in the future (I know rust likely isn't an issue where you live).

no prob! I forgot to post up more shots, but they were on my work computer! I'll get them posted here in a little bit!

I dont mind posting up pics, as there are (I think) a decent amount of people with front lip/sideskirt/spoilers) but as many pictures...Let me know if you want different shots or whatever!

Sideskirts are held on by screws, but I don't see an issue with their location for a couple reasons. First, is I lined up the sideskirt on the car, and drilled holes(small, pilot holes for the screws-there are already holes drilled in the sideskirt for you, so it makes an excellent template). Second, after drilling the holes, I picked up some rtv sealant, and put a dab of it on/around/in each hole. And third, the location of where the screws are fairly well protected, but if you were concerned you would be able to put rtv on top of the screw heads.

So overall, I dont see an issue with rust, even if you dont go overboard with protection.
