Say, we use Griot's Weatherproof Tire Dressing product. It goes on slightly thinner than a gel and is long lasting, durable, can be reapplied w/o build-up and leaves a deep satin black finish.

Is there a difference between the .1 and .2? Although I'm not the first owner, mine came painted:

Should it matter if you got other aero bits? From what I can see, the side skirt is NOT any lower, just sticks out a bit more and adds a bit of flare... or am I missing something about it?

These are pretty subtle so I think they might look good on their own, but you never know until you see it in place. The only examples I can find are on the GTS which has got the different front bumper with aero look.

The wide body cars suffer (obviously) the most from this exposed area. Years ago we would add a special compound to the paint to make it more durable in the heavy rock-chip potential areas. it's still available today. I would use that to treat those areas.

The WB cars has a more pronounced flair, kind of a "mini skirt" and come unpainted, but can be optioned to be painted.

I really like okbarnetts fresen-up solution for the GTS and GT2RS. Here is a link to SEM bumper coat

I briefly considered painted side skirts for my GTS, but stayed with black 'cause they look good and wont get chipped as easily- brutal conditions down there.
