My vote goes for the R-Magic or RUN Racing side skirts.

I like the Racing Beat skirts... Not too flashy, but then again I like most of their products:

Personally I like those as well. But I also think it depends on the front end you have and other various body parts. I don't think some skirts (ex. CWest) would look good without the front end to match it.

Apex-i.

The 'Racing Beat' skirts above are actually copies of the Knightsport Type 1.

I think the veilside CII's are really starting to grow on me...they look like they should work well with the stock front end or '99 front, and you probably could keep the stock rear mud guards too. I personally don't like the rear air duct on the RB unit & others, or anything that covers the front brake duct (unless you've got the full kit to go with it). The veilside CII looks clean & follows the lines of the car.

If anybody has good photos to post of the sideskirts mentioned, please do - so we can compare all in one place.

I like the mazda speed 15th anniversary sides. the ones adam suratwhatever has on his car. I think they also look nice with the complete wide body kit like pat kenney has on his car.

actually, it really depends on what you have on your car. i think sideskirts w/o a matching front bumper look kinda ugly imho. the factory mazda sideskirts even look a bit out of place actually unless the front lip spoiler is painted to match the car because it makes the middle section of the car seem "thicker" than the front and rear.

Hed!!!! don't worry =D your sideskirts deserve to be the only ones in vancouver because they match your kit beautifully!

What do you guys think of these RE ones, they're the same ones I have on my car now, but I'm looking for a change. I think I'm going to go with the Mazda ones if I can ever get them for bargain basement pricing. ;P

Nice car wherever I stole the pic from
