Not a bad kit. I think sxxxt has a similar kit. Looks good on his car.

You know something that I have always thought about on our cars with skirts like that..... That where the endention is on the back end of the skirt, someone should cut that part out and do a side exit exhaust from it. It would look pretty sweet in my opinion and give it an extremely clean line and blend in smooth with the car. It would take a little bit of custom fab work but it would be worth it in the long run if you ask me. I have thought about that same setup many times but I like to be original with my kit for right now. But all this is just an idea, and I honestly would like to see that implimented some time or another.

The reason you don't find people doing that is because you would have to basically cut part of the frame of the unibody out of the car to do it properly. The look isn't worth sacrificing the structural integrity of the car.

actually I was looking a a neon tonight with a kit on it and was talking to the guy about the idea. We looked and with the kit he had, the skirt dropped enough down that it would line up underneather the pinch weld. I will be back down in the Murfreesboro area again Friday and I will talk to him somemore about the idea. He was suppose to join up with us on here sometime tonight. He said his name would be Bouncer so if you all see him on here please welcome him. He seems to be a great person. We ran up on each other at a light and decided to pull over at the local police station a block away to chat.
