Default Side skirts... what do you think?

Am looking for a cheaper alternative to doing the S4 side skirt mod... and having a lot of trouble finding skirts that arent too low, and could work with the stock front and rear bumpers. I found this one... it looks pretty subtle... think I could get away with it? I see a bit of something happening on the skirt towards the back of the car... but doesnt look like its anything extreme.

i like them, it gives the car a clean look, and they might not be S4 side skirts but consider yourself original!

I just realized tha they wont work on my car.... ARGH. My stupid car has the stupid moulding on the bottom of the doors... so to use that skirt, if its at all possible, I'd have to remove the moulding on the bottom of the doors, and would need to get the bottom of the doors filled and painted... my parents old 96 audi had a different setup on the sides... was WAY more durable. the damn strips on the bottom of the doors are like falling off... looks like I might just have to fork the $ to the dealer, to replace that moulding.

Panzer, all cars with body kits are slammed... you just have to drive more carefully.

For those of you experiencing the moulding problems... it looks as though I might be getting mine replaced under warranty! Take your car to the dealer, and explain that you KNOW this is a common problem, and it should be replaced. The guy basically agreed with me, said the rest of my car was mint, so it obviously wasnt a neglect issue... which we all know it isnt anyways.

I'll let you know how I make out!

PS: those skirts I posted dont look low at all... They wouldnt go any lower than the jack points I doubt -- so scraping wouldnt be an issue, unless you already scrape the bottom of your car.
