Pre-LCI Non M-Sport side skirts: Will M-Sport side skirts fit?

Smurfzilla · 02-21-2018, 08:14 AM

This may be a stupid question but I've been looking for carbon fiber side skirts for my 08. I have the M-Tech/M-Sport front bumper (Not really sure which one) but the stock rocker panels and stock rear bumper.

EVERYTHING I have found is for MTech or M-Sport Rocker panels.........I'm thinking they'll fit anyway but I had one vendor say no they won't.

Is there truly NO options for non M-Tech/M-Sport side skirts?

Technically they are the same length. Use the same spots for jack points. May just have to make your own holes for the bolts and nuts.

Some of them will fit, some will not. The ones that have a contour shape won't fit since it's contoured to the shape of the MTech Skirts, which is a different contour from the bottom of the regular skirts. The ones that will fit don't contour and only stick out flat.

Hard to say exactly which one will and which one won't, but there are some that won't fit. Drilling holes won't help either since the contour will still make the fit weird with gaps everywhere. I've tried that before and it looked horrible.
