Thinking about getting in on a group buy for some sideskirts for the fd…i wanted somthing subtle and have always liked the FEED skirts, which happen to be what the groupbuy is on. the 2 variations are fiberglass (which would be painted the color of the car) or c/f… what do u all think would look better? i’m kinda leanin towards fiberglass painted the color of the car, altho c/f would look pretty good too. anywho here’s a pic for reference ![http://a2zpcwiz.com/personal/RX7_2.jpg](http://a2zpcwiz.com/personal/RX7_2.jpg) ---

Im partial to the fiber glass, CF never really appealed to me, yes its lighter but from far away it looks like you got in an accident and your waiting to have the new parts painted. ---

If you are getting a CF hood, it might compliment it quite well. ---
