Would I need side skirts?

Default Would I need side skirts?

Right now I am running a stock '06 GT (no suspension mods yet) on 17" wheels. If I were to add the CDC aggresive chin spoiler and the 3D Carbon Rear Valence (the one that looks like the California Special rear valence), would I also need to add side skirts to balance out the look, or do you think it would be ok without side skirts?

I used to have the 3dCarbon rear valance. It's actually not any lower at all at the wheel well, only about 1" lower at the rear, so it will not really appear to lower the car. I have included a photo for reference. You will see I also have the 3dCarbon side skirts, but they are not lower than the stock ones. They do APPEAR to be a little lower, however this is only because they do not cut under the car as hard as the stock ones do. The stock ones have a body line which kind of cuts them in half, and the ones you see in the picture do not. Both sets are level with the frame rails though I assure you.



For the front, I heard someone on here say that the CDC agressive is made to be level with the stock side skirts.

So, I don't think you need them...but the stock ones are pretty bland if you ask me. I say put your parts on and then if you see a set you like, put them on later.

no, it'll look fine. none of the CDC items really lower the car at all.
