there are extra holes, LOTS of them, and your crazy for not liking them!



When I put the skirts on my car there were 2 tabs that I had to break off because I did not want a hole in the car, you can see those holes in Kevins car in the picture in front of and behind the door, as well as the bad ones- the holes in the rocker panels.



I put no holes in my car when I put the skirts on, just a few way under the car, if I ever took my skirts off there would be no visable holes.

see now I dont like those type of wheels at all so that does nothing for me, the photo itself is done very nicely and I think that adds to the effect.



To each thier own though because I know alot of people dont like mesh wheels.







Its always like this, if a car comes with it some people want it off, and if it did not come with it people want to add it.

I know, and I think the photo is done nicely where it makes the car look like more then it is, the angle and quality of the photograph adds to the effect, if that photo was taken up high or on grass instead of a parking garage the car would not have the same effect.



I think with skirts the car would be killer

for what its worth i kind of agree, i think the skirts make the car look fat sometimes too.



but if you have the right wheels and ride height and such, they do look good
