Yeah.. they must have sprayed atleast a little over lap when the front bumper was installed... In my experience its pretty hard to have 10+ year old paint match up to the brand new paint on the bumper.

Mfanto,

The skirts look great.

How do they affect the clearance required for jacking the car from the side?

RocketShip: I am not sure about the jacking aspect yet. I had it on a Hydrolic Lift, and had no problems, but with a floor jack I would think you would have to choose your jack points wisely..

FDEEZ: That websight you gave me for the Carbon Fiber 99 spec splitter is in all in Japenese.

SomeDude: My wheels are the SSR GT3's in Satin finish. Picture below

I would really like a Carbon Fiber 99 spec Bumper Splitter. If anyone knows where to find one let m know. What else should I do to my car?
