      What's that underneath the skirt? Mounting clips? Don't the 'is' skirts completely shroud the rockers? I guess I'm not understanding how they mount.

      All the pictures posted make me want them!

        BMW should have had all their IS's come with the side skirts.

        AND they should have givin' I's a smaller side skirt. Just somthing to cover the uglyness.

        Just seems like they slacked off a little bit in that department.

          i'm a fan of BMP skirts.

          i like how wide they are and how they go up to the body seam that runs from wheel-well to wheel-well.
          clean. tasteful.


          M-Tech II side treatment [w/bumper combo] is clean. Very clean.. issues gravitate toward pros/cons of monochrome vs. tasteful contrast from black 'beltline'.


          I've never understood the popularity of IS and Reiger front lips over getting skirts. An e30 with a color-matched front sport lip and black rockers/black rear valence looks awkward. (snow plow-ish?) (the 'continuity' just isn't there)

          As much as I do love the look of a good [color-matched] front sport lip – they also look like 'damage waiting to happen'.

          fwiw – I’m rockin’ Racing Dynamics skirts

          with color-matched i-lip up front and color-matched valence in back

          I was seeking 'best-bang-for-$' in terms of lower body-line treatments.
          - lower chance of damage (better 'driver' car) = color front i lip
          - better continuity = color-matched skirts + color rear valence
          - 'lowering' body visually = eliminating black from rockers and rear valence

          In terms of taking care of the 'un-finished' look of an e30 w/out skirts - I feel that the IS skirts are:
          a ) good because they are [apparently] available (better than nothing)
          &
          b ) a disappointment because they are so 'understated'. If you're going to get some skirts to help 'finish' the car off - one might as well paint the fuckin rockers..

            That is not an M3 spoiler, it's made by Zender.

                  Those RD skirts are pretty bad imo, "iS" skirts are one of the cleanest
                  ones around, Eurotyle on Maxbimmer makes a mtech2 rep side skirt that is very clean as well.
                  Ps'd pic of "iS" skirts on my old car.
