    Here's one from the side. I wedged the skirts up with boxes. I took the pic from as close to a ground level position as possible. It looks as though it is a clean line from the IS lip to the painted apron.

    The little front section of the skirt drooped a little. The little black spaces at the lower edge of the skirt is where the clips go. I had those painted to match the skirts.

    Sorry for the delay. Had the infamous chemo hangover yesterday. I am so tired of this shit.

    Anyway, I got some pics. Give me a minute to process them.

    Call Bav Auto and speak with a rep.

    The link you gave opens their home page so I don't know which skirts you were looking at.

    Talk with you soon.
    found the part # on realoem and searched it on bav auto and found it.

    Any updates on the pics?

    I was looking at part # BME 303 on Bav Auto.

    I'll have to call and see what they say.

    These aren't the IS skirts are they? Only one's I could find besides the "m style" skirts.

    I like the look of the IS skirts. I think its a clean line based on original design.

    You can still get the skirts from Bav Auto

    Your rims, how deep is the lip?
    Sweet! Thanks man, I gotta look into bav auto too.

    Never really measured my lips, but the rim are 16x9 with ET15 offset if that helps. I'll go outside and measure them for you real quick.

    result: a bunch of little white dots telling your where to drill.

    i havent seen IS side skirts from close, but i would assume that there is some give/play in the mounts to allow a good tolerance when drilling. thats how my subaru ones were. and my technique worked flawlessly.
    Thanks! I will give that a test run.

    Hmmm, it's hard to tell from that pic, between the shade and the skirts being black, I can't tell. Sorry

    As I stated, I'd eventually like to get a Mtech 2 front valance and some type of rear apron, so I'd like them to match. For now, I just plan on running the IS lip.

    I guess there's nobody that makes a decent, smooth looking side skirt?

    Yeah I'm leaning towards those or is skirts. I'd rather keep the stock rear apron. Eventually I would like to get a mtech 2 front valance. Do you have any side shot that shows the lower body lines? I'm curious if the lines match up.
