After being inspired by the chop that asylum did of my car a little while ago i got some ralliart skirts. After having them sitting in the house for the last month i finally got around to painting them the other day so i have been putting them on today.
Not the best photos but they'll do for now.
And here is the result.

And the massive ground clearance. Cant get out of my driveway yet. Only 60mm clearance on flat ground. I love coilovers.

Where the flare is ment to be. I was told that they go without the flares so im not to happy about this but ill get over it.

nice nice very nice...60mm, think u might want to raise the height of the car, as for not being able to get out of your driveway... i guess you'll be saving a bit of money by not going out :bowrofl:

None yet havent driven anywhere with the skirts on. I have 90mm clearance on the front bar so i have had a couple with that. But its the perfect height to get over speed bumps. None of this sideways crap.
I will be raising the back of it to make it more practicial.
Im not a fan of flares so they wont be going on the car. Ill sort something out.

As is the giant wing on the back of your Ralliart. Why not remove it?
Looks the goods 97altera.

Looks nice,
but what the hell are you gonna do on a big bump/speed hump? (unless you have none around)

As ive already said i will be raising it to a height that is around the legal limit. As for a big speed bump i havent had any major dramas with my front bar so i am not really much worse off with the side skirts on.

That looks bloody awesome mate!
In regards to the end of the skirt where your mudflaps were, i thought skirts were suppose to come with end caps that stopped this? One thought i had was to modify your mudflaps so that they sit over the end of the skirt, but skimming the flap back so that it sat pretty much flush with the bottom and side of the skirt, if that makes sense?

That gap, if I'm not mistaken, is for the wheel arches to sit on.

I reckon lower it more at the front to even it out, just make sure you drive on flat roads only lol
I'm liking the negative camber on your rear wheel, looks sick :D

Chop looks good. I already have a letterbox grill thanks to tufftr and ashneel, just waiting to pick it up. Ive always said i was going to get bigger rims i just hate spending all that money at once. Maybe i should buy 1 at a time.

IMO you really need a rear bar to go with it, it looks a bit strange the way it is atm. Also I'm not a fan of the dark grey strip, I'd get that colour matched.
I think the rims match your kit well, I'd leave them on :thumbsup:
