put my side skirts on...

I finally put my side skirts on and my body kit is finally completely on. When I first put them on, the orciari side skirts gave it a look I didnt exactly like, but now, I prefer them over the black stock ones...what ya think?

The orciari sideskirts look MUCH better than the stock ones! The stock side skirts with the orciari bumper just looks tacky.

I think it looks good. But it needs bigger wheels/tires. The body work sort of dwarfs those 16's.

I don't like body kits...too 'fast and furious' lookin. Extra weight, slows you down, cost's money.

I think it is looking damn nice. You need some wheels though....that would really set off the whole package.

Not one of my favorite bodykits, but I think the kit with its own side-skirts look better than the orciari front with the stock side-skirts

I love the orange paint! Looks pretty darn good for $1,000--atleast from way over here in Los Angeles.

The kit looks good too! Great work!

Looks cool!!! I really like that body kit. Great color too!!

The only way it would look better is with a black roof. Black roof looks more business! White roof more fun!

Just my 2 cents worth

Skirts do make the ma-- uhm -- a big difference! Looks great.


kaelaria: The Orciari kit is quite a bit LIGHTER than stock... smoother aerodynamically than stock. Not necessarily heavier/slower. The design is subtle, which is why I went for it. All the others are too "over the top" for me.

Got mine directly from the factory for $525 including the scoops and interior trim rings... wish I had got the wing which is also slightly different than stock. Found a body shop here in Naples that will do the paint and install for 500 euro. Whole thing installed for less than can be bought back home.
