    PR: "iS" front with mtech2 sides

    I'm considering getting mtech2 side skirts/panels/cards to cover the ugly black rocker panel. But I have no idea how it'll look. I already facelifted the front of my car to the 'iS' front, but I wanna see how it looks with the mt2 sides

            I think with just the tech2 bumper skins it would be good. I dont like the black belt being partial.

                Black belt being the bumper and door trim. Without the black door trim on a tech 2, the bumper strips look goofy to me.

                  ^yeah i agree. for me, it was either make a vinyl strip to go along the door panels or get the bumpers. i suppose i chose neither and pulled the mtech stuff off, but i think im going to end up completing the kit someday.

                        I agree w/Van--gotta continue that horizontal trim line. It breaks up the look otherwise.

                          i would be interested to see if anyone has tried filling in that line with black vinyl or something, it looks like it would line up perfectly, and also looks as if there should be something there anyway
