I know, but I wasn't smart enough and to eager to get the skirts on that I forgot to take a before picture at the time I was putting them onto the car.

What BBS wheels are those? I'm always looking for options replacing my OEM BBS

I figured with the center caps they were OEM off of a BMW, thanks for the heads up.

I popped out the BBS center cap insert and replaced them with the factory MAZDA cap insert to keep it with the factory "look".

Is that the TII lip also? You're car looks great! I just settled on a Chargespeed lip last night but your car looks so clean! It makes me question which one I want. How thick is the TII lip top to bottom?

Hey bud, I've got both OEM turbo skirts and an OEM replica lip if you want to come by and see them first hand. They aren't on the car yet while I sort mechanical things out before paint.

If you're interested toss me a PM and I'll get you my number.

Thanks for the compliments. Yes, that is the factory TII front lip as well. Its about 1 1/2 inches. It's not that thick but because the car is lowered I still have to be very careful not to hit it going over speed bumps or up drive ways.

I really like the factory look and that is why I choose to go that route.
