No offence, but I would never remove those sideskirts. They are OEM and they look great on your car, especially your car in red. They look awesome. Leave them....

They should be attached with just tape and clips so you can remove them no problem
That said, they look terrific!

Why not add the front splitter and rear wing to complete the look then?

EDoyle I agree with you, I think the car would look better without the flared rockers unless you went to the full aero kit.

I can understand why you feel the skirts are currently "out of place" without the front/rear pieces to complement it. I was lucky that the car I bought had the full aero kit

If removing the skirts will NOT create more work (paint underneath is a different shade, holes to patch/paint, etc.), then as other shave suggested, leave em.

After peeking under the front portion of one of the skirts I realize now that it might show that they where once on (small stone chips on part of the rocker, none under the skirt=will show a difference.

I think it would all look much better in my eye if the car was a bit lower (I'm used to seeing my old ca on x74 suspension). I might try some H&R springs.
