He doesn't paint the black strip, huh? hmm..

Looks good though

 

for 65 bucks.. you can't argue with that. i'm just waiting for the next one to come along. i'd rather have Sti skirts, but 65 bucks is way too cheap to pass up

 

Nor should he, it would peal off real quick and may even make the actual skirt paint come off.

Bump for Dennis at Masters, he's a good ole bloke!

Mine have been painted for almost a year, no problems. I'm not saying either is right or wrong, I just hadn't seen one where that wasn't painted, that's all.

 

yea i didnt want the black stip painted because it flexs and i know it would peel off. plus it matches cause theres a black stip under the rear fender and stuff. BUMP for Dennis

 

Glad yours are working for you mate, I was just commenting from a painting perspective that it is better to not paint the black strip as it requires a different paint/prep technique which although possible is not likely for $65.

I actually like the black strip it serves as a nice color break on the car, the Subaru color coded skirts also leave the black strip there.

agreed i like it too

 

I already have my skirts painted but we should have a re-paint the front bumper group buy sometime... many nicks/chips in mine. Skirts look great btw.

 

looks nice man!

 

Lookin' good! BTW: I like the black strip too...

 

thanks, im thinking about getting the Sti corner splitters that the sti's come with. i think it will give it a nice touch.

Is it a good idea to wax the side skirts? to like protect it? cause i know when u de badge they tell you to wax the trunk to protect the paint. do you have to do this to the side skirts since its like new paint or something?

 

Don't bother, they require you to have the STI bumper to fit, and they hit curbs and parking stops easily.

Once they get hit, and then you go to replace them, you'll find that its backing bracket gets bent and needs re-shaping, but it won't fit on the bumper perfectly again...

don't ask me how I know!

hah ok thanks you saved me some money. maybe ill get the foglight covers, lol just trying to make it a little more unique.

 

screw the little stuff, get a full welded-in roll cage, with door beams, and that connects the front & rear strut towers, or have a giant sunroof installed, with roof reinforcements added.
