Why not just save your money? That way, you can spend money on "the good stuff" sooner than if you bought something that was "okay" now and still had to save even more.

It makes no sense to me for you to buy something now if it isn't something you really want... You just want to buy something to say you have something, don't you?

Trust me, dude, you'll be much happier keeping your car stock-bodied for now and saving your money.

yeah..and if you're $60 is really burning a hole in your pocket, check the for sale section and pick up the redlinegoods shift boot, and momo shift ****, brand new for $50 plus shipping!. 2 awesome quality parts, the guy is crazy for selling it so cheap, better jump on this deal. that's my opinion

THATS the same exact way the ricers think! "why buy the expensive stuff when APC sells it for cheaper"

I had those skirts on my 78 GLC.Not because Im cheap.....it was a 78 GLC!!! not much availible for them!
They actually looked pretty good once I had a front airdam to match the height the skirts gave me.By themselves, the skirts would look odd because the front and back valence would end a lot higher up than the add-on side skirts.If you at least install a front airdam to match them,then those price-point skirts arent a bad choice.They an be cut to any length and lasted for years,never broke,faded or cracked.
