had these lying around so I thought I would give them a try

will take a little bit of modding to fit, but I think with the add of some sikaflex it will be just fine.

this is pictures of the skirt just sitting on, what do you guys think?

Looks better than I thought it would, colour code them and it would be hot.

yea the pictures arent that good (off my phone)

I was also quite suprised how it look as i thought the lines of the skirt was not going to match the car.

have to wait and see how it look when its all done.

Does it stick out much compared to the front / rear bar?

Yeah wouldnt mind seeing a side on shot from slightly further out so you can see the whole car. But agreed, once colour coded they would look hot

not that much aye, its probably sitting a little bit more out than it will when its all done, as the skirt is just sitting on the car in the pictures.

$350 for a pair, but I need to see if it can be done, and how much is invloved in getting them to fit.

I think you need a shot side on with and without them to really compare.
But my iitial thoughts are the same as yours Tony, they look better that I would have thought.
Colour-coding is a must btw:P

As others have stated, looks very nice. Needs the wide shot to get the full look of it. Make sure you take a photo from a specific angle, then once it's on and fully ready (if it all fits) and take it from the same angle. Probably the best way for comparison. Is "aide" the name of the skirt or something? Sounds funny :).

Was any cutting needed to fit etc? Or was just hard to get it on there?

I had to cut a small portion out to get the rear door to shut properly, and then use a heat gun to heat up the bottom of the skirt and bend it into shape.

if you ask me its a mission..

Gen3's fit with minimal mods plus looks ripper with side strake :)

that looks fuggin hawwt.

been wondering if they would fit but i thought as the wrx is a shorter wheelbase they would need lengthening, obviously not.

why did you put them on reversed?

They actually look very good and match the lines of the doors extremly well
