GP Side Skirt Bulge

Sorry...couldn't seem to find an answer. Is that bulge in the side skirt hiding something? Or is it just the design? I'm wondering if an Aero Kit side skirt could fit instead.

We had one in the shop on the lift the other day and I was checking these out. I think they are just the design.
I don't think the Aero sides will work, because the under body paneling looked to be tied in with the side skirts.

Partsman is correct they are just there for looks.

The jacking points on the GP is different so that was what was probably tied in with the side skirts

Nope - jack points are the same, they're just covered up with little flip out panels incorporated into the skirts.
Got my first look at the under body paneling last weekend - pretty sweet. Though I must say that one of my first thoughts was "If you have an off at the track (or on the road), it might get expensive. "
