5.5 gen before and after pics
EDIT: NEW PICS AS OF 4/2/07 ADDED!
Sup everyone. Prior to today I only had the Stillen rear and front pieces. The sides were installed this morning. To be honest, I suggest that those of you who have a nice low drop with the front and rear Stillen pieces to NOT get the Stillen sides. It wont look too different if you already have the stock 5.5 gen factory skirts. But thats my view on it. I have a moderate drop and the difference is still not that noticeable. I think it looks noticeable when you have the 4X4 look hahaha. Well here it is:

Heres a pic of the interior just for the hell of it:

Nice looking car...
I like both, but decided to go with the 5.5 Gen Factory side skirts after I had the Stillen sides for a while. I feel like they flow better and keeping the front mud guard helps the height transition from the front stillen lip to the sides..to each his own tho...
I think the ultimate reason i swapped was because the paint match wasn't that close with the stillen sides whereas when I got the 5.5 factory sides it was near perfect and looked cleaner on my car.

As far as the ride height goes, i know everybody says they settle after a few thousand miles max but I know mine has settled more over the past year than it did initially after a few thousand miles. It seems to change constantly every day, plus I have much less gap in the winter due to my larger profile tire...in the pictures on my cardomain I usually take pictures in good lighting and sometimes on slight slopes (as in my sig pic) that make the gap look a little smaller than it actually is (my secret's out
) so maybe that is why.
Thats fine...I just wish that mine never came with one, and it always seems like most people try and remove them, not put them on, when they buy the car.I like your car and someday hope to upgrade to a 5.5 gen. Not everybody agrees with everything, but it is a nice ride.
