Hi
just wondering if the 04 (US) that we have seen if it comes with the side skirts do you think that if we (02-03) owners put it on
will it look good? I mean the type R has bigger ones and has
a lip on the front and rear to make it all look symetrical. Will
the US 04 skirts look good with just them installed? in your opinion?

I think just the Type R skirts without the front and rear lips looks good. Those new skirts are ugly IMO.

i feel the same way. the 04 sides are so so ugly.. and knowing honda, the JDM type R skirts are prolly going to be cheaper the the 04skirts.

arent the (us)04 sideskirts almost identical to the type R side skirts? it just seems that the "flare" towared either ens is bigger on the typr R....
in all the type R sideskirts alone would look really good in an SI, they are just so damn expensive...

I think you guys are a little too quick to judge the 04 side skirts until you see them in person.

In my opinion, 2002 & 2003 EP3's looked unfinished with their lower side body seams exposed. I know if I would have bought a light colored one, I would immediately paint that seam flat black.

So, I think they help finish off the side appearance.

yeah, i don't understand why everyone is so quick to bash the new side skirts. sure, they aren't anything really crazy and whatnot, but thats the point. i personally like them... having them on looks 10x better than having that unfinished body seam exposed. if i don't get the replica type-r kit in the spring, i'll at least pick up a set of these skirts.

I like the 04' skirts better than the Type-R skirts.
The 04' skirts are not as gaudy, they're simple and look GREAT with no front/rear lips.
The Type-R skirts look out of place to me, unless you get the entire kit.

at first i didnt like them because nobody really did...so i was just going along with the general thought....now as i look really closely....they looks pretty dang good...i mean, skirts on my old accord were just a straight piece of plastic...at least these ones look good if not better than normal side skirts for other cars.

i say....the only thing really turning me off is the price...if someone were to make a replica..i would be over it in a second!

I like the USDM skirts better than the GFX. More reserved, yet they still finish the sides, which as stock look unfinished.

those new side skirts dont look that bad but i'd go with some type r sides and a type r wing.

i think the straight ground fx actually look better. this look UGLY.. cuz it seperates the side kit from the body. then the front should get a seperate lip too, to match. i like the simple ground fx like the 99-00 Si. they should make something like that for our cars.

I like the new skirts. I may buy a set as long as they aren't too expensive.

i was expecting some ugly ass side skirts, but when i clicked the link, they looked damn nice. of course they are gonna be more expensive then the type-r skirts tho because they're from honda directly. i think they look nice, the headlights and the wheels on the new ones look butt IMO

I'd consider getting the 04 skirts if the price is decent. I really like the GFX kit. Looks mighty nice in Blue... but I may be biased ;)

I think the 04 side skirts would look good with the Kaminari Front and rear. We need a photoshop pic.....someone help:D

The 04 EP side skirts look the same as the 97-00 USDM ITR side skirts. People were also buying them and putting it on their 95-01 gsr's. Plain and simple.
