    Have I seen the light?

    I need some opinions here... I recently picked up a set of BMP sideskirts and in anticipation of installing them I removed my twisties. I have previously thought sideskirts to be a needed part of my "personality" in my e30, but after seeing my car with a stock iS lip and painted rockers I'm really tempted to leave it like that. I realize that the last time I saw my car without sideskirts it had the stock weaves and a reiger lip, making it look very front-heavy. I now have BBS RXs and have gone back to the stock lip, here's where I need the opinion:

    Leave it as is or install the new skirts?

    I'll see about getting some shots of a test fit so I can get a better opinion.

    Thanks!

    I too have nothing on the sides. I dont mind it, but usually something that works improves the look. Try sticking them on temperarely (sp) and see how it looks.

              Oh the e36 skirts are off and staying that way, my decision is whether or not to not to leave the car skirtless. The way I see it, with skirts it looks like more of a "cool car" and will stand out from the riff-raff a little, but skirtless it looks more like a "cool e30." Oh well, it's sitting for a little bit while I wait for some shifter parts, when I start driving it again I'll test fit the BMP skirts and get some "before and after" pics.
