nah that's not what im trying to say, i havent put on the skirt yet, but i was thinkin that when you put on the skirt, if it blocks the area on the sides wher eyou use the jack to lift up the car.

Actually, the skirts do affect jacking up the car in two ways. Easy fixes though.

1) If you're low like me, a standard jack won't fit under the car anymore with side skirts. I drive up on a 2x8 first, then jack up the car as normal. The extra 1.5" gives me what I need. One of these days I'll buy a super low profile jack.

2) With my ID sides, the skirt gets in the way of using the OEM jacking points properly w/o interference. I notched out my skirts to accommodate the jack at that location. Simple. Stillen sides may be a little different.

BTW, wrong forum.....again.
