thanx every1 for the feedback on my car,,

Xavi: no I do not have the ss side skirt nor the back bumper,, still my car is a work in progress,, and Im saving some $$,, probably for the end of the year, Ill have enough so I can buy the SS/SC side skirts and SS/NA back bumper..

Red: I haven't lost yet to any honda lol, I know how to pic my battles,, and I always make sure they know Im a 2.2 I dont want to affect the SS credibility and reputation.

From the side it does look a little akward. I'd say thats about a 2" difference where the front bump ends and the side ends. This is a bit typical of cars with kits anyways. I see alot of guys driving around without side skirts or stock side skirts with low front/back bumpers. While I like the look of the front I'm not sure about the side. I plan to run the fog lights to either the directional lamp fuse or the daytime running fuse. I'm a bit sick of toggle switches. I have 6 mounted in my Sunfire and they can be annoying.

Good work. Did the shop tell you about any problems they ran into mounting it?
