Please add to the poll…

It’s hardly a scratch tho. It’s wrinkled and gouged. Also has a lot of paint scraped off of it.

#1 is clean. 2 doesn’t look like it would flow with anything on the car, but’s slick. 3 looks like one of those godawful Need For Speed Underground addons.

Keep it clean and simple IMO.

I think the bumper ends at about the same height as the stock bumper.

Here’s a quick anim i did, showing the difference.

I think i am going to pass on the sideskirts.

Here’s some more pics.

I think the stock skirts will line up, wonder if the styling difference will make it strange though.

on that note however, i do NOT like their side skirts
