Default I need new side skirts...

...But I don't know what to get. I need something that will make my bumper look flush to the rest of my car. Currently it's an inch lower than the sides. It doesn't look too bad in person, but in pictures it's all I notice really. What will look good with it? I've heard either 03/04 cobra, or roush. But, trying to stay away from Roush because I'd be redoing my exhaust to make it look right. And money's tight. I'll do it though if it'll look great.

03-04 Cobra. I love mine. I think Roush side skirts will look best wit hthe Cobra r bumper though.

Forget the side skirts. New Wheels will dramatically change the look of your car. Like I said before, get rid of the side stripes, the windshield decal, and the door bumpers, you'll be amazed at how much cleaner your car will look.

Again. I'm not asking what to do to make my car look better. I asked what side skirts would look best with my bumper, that is 1 inch lower than my stock sides. I want them more flush.

I gave you an opinion to ditch that idea FOR NOW.


But to answer you're question, I'd say Roush Side Skirts would look best with your bumper. But the bumper and side skirts would look absolutely ridiculous without new wheels.

There are usually a set of 03-04 Cobra skirts floating around SVTP.

Roush would look most flush.

Roush skirts would look best with that front just because that splitter hangs so low, but rerouting the exhaust and getting the new tips would add a big difference in price. Cobra skirts pop up randomly on different forums and ebay all the time. I was able to pick up my cobra skirts on 3.8mustang for about $250.

Hmmm. Roush sides and new exhaust seems to be what i'm leaning toward. I think I might have myself a nice little winter project on my hands. Thanks for the input, everyone.

If you end up getting the Roush skirts I'd look into the rear Roush spats to continue the lower body panel look. They should really help make the front end look more natural on the car.

Prices aren't nearly as bad as I thought they'd be, thanks man.

Those rear valences will fit my V6 bumper, right? The site just mentions cobras
