Default Carbon fiber Side skirts, yes or no?

I'm in Flux, I have carbon fiber front to back( front facia, all vents, mirrors, diffuser,.only missing side skirts,. I don't know ..it seems to break up the smooth lines. My car is white so there big contrast. Plus , you would have to PPF those or they wouldn't last long. Any opinions? All my other carbon is OEM..but i would go aftermarket. I found OEM but they want 5k. No thanks. Aftermarket is around $1200
Thanks

Nice looking. Do rhey fit without any body modification? Also, did you have them PPF wrapped and how are they with road grime keeping them clean? Thanks

I'm generally not a huge fan of body cladding, but that looks great. Understated and downright cool.

Thanks. Yes, easy fit and install. I used 5-6 screws per side and some shoe glue in-between for extra support. No problems collecting road grim and they somehow don't even get worn out on the front edge from tire spray like most of the skirts I've had do. No idea why.

If removed are the holes far enough under they wont be seen unless jacked up?

You can try out the look pretty easily without spending much money. All you have to do is get some carbon fiber wrap from eBay or Amazon and put it on by yourself. If you don't like it, you can just peel it back off. If you do like it, you can leave it until your real carbon fiber side skirts arrive.

I've had gloss black wrap on mine for 6 years, no drama (though it is garaged)
