Front Splash Guards with Aero Side Skirts?

Anyone done this with pictures. Not even sure if possible, and I searched for a while, but would like to see it if done.

Funny thing, I was just about to start a thread asking the same thing. I've got the Aero Kit for my car, so far have only installed the front bumper and grilles.

I currently have the front spash guards on my factory side skirts, and would like to put them back on the aero kit skirts if they'd fit (and not look stupid).

Anyone know if they'll work?

I asked my dealer to install the OEM mud flaps for my 2008 MCSC with Aero Kit. They informed me that the OEM mud flaps wouldn't fit. I started a similar thread before this (https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=133231), but didn't hear of any good solutions.

HTH,
Ivan

I finally looked at the instructions that MIN provides over on Motoringfile. Not much there but the picture they had tells what may be the issue. The front clip under the side skirt is also used to help hold the splash guard in place. On the Aero skirts that clip is not flush but recessed into a channel since the skirts sit lower than stock. I think this can be easily modified but will have to get a set to see what I can do.
