hmmm, it actually looks pretty good and its not fiberglass. Not sure if tahts a good price or not, i would compare to stillen side skirts and the AE one's just to see what has better value, but i definitely like design from what i see.

for 390.00 you can get the Stillen and save some money if you buy them SWC or something like that. It is an Org sponsor so look for them...... 170.00 a piece the last time I checked....my .02

if you look at the site. The rest of the body kit looks just like the older stillen lip so i bet these are about the same as the stillen as well.

those don't look bad, but the 02-03 factory skirts are on point.

I actually have the Stillen New Front lip on my '02 Max and just got the Rear Valence installed(sorry for no pics yet) but what do you guys think? Should I stick with the OEM Side Skirts or go for the Stillen Side Skirts. I see people here have the OEM and the Stillen...I can't decide....tough call. Help me out.

get stillen sides if you're using aftermarket wheels. if you've got your OE wheels, keep the OE sides. that's my .02.

just installed the stillen side skirts. They do compliment the rest of the stillen kit and I was disappointed to remove the factory ones. The stillen sides are sad if you ask me. I needed them to finish the look but the upper part slides under the doors which is a rather dumb design in my opinion. I'm guessing that after they are painted the doors will slowly rub some paint away, it's a very tight squeeze. So I've spent the last 2 days sanding it down so the doors don't touch. Looks good but this is way too much extra work for the price.
