Fiberglass side skirt update

[4g63dsm]

To all with fiberglass side skirts i was jsut wondering how they are holding up in terms of chips? cracks? and other things of this sort. How long have you had them on you car? PLease post pics if possible. becasue i hear alot of bad things about fiberglas but i know alot of people on this board have it.

i've had the showstoppers usdm ctr side skirts,well actually the full lip kit, but the only thing im having problems with chipping is the front lip. but the sides and rear are perfect still. my ep is black so that makes it even worse for the front lip..the chips stand out alot so im constantly touching it up..like almost every weekend..sorry i have no close up pics

anything can chip... my car is stock, and i got chips on my fender, hood, and bumper from rocks.

but fiberglass isn't really worth it IMO, but if you want the looks, go for it, just be warned that it's a pain to maintain... i had a fiberglass kit on my EK, and i had minor chipping. i also got backed into while it was parked, and got a big hole cracked into it. so i would never do a fiberglass kit again, but that's just me... just save and buy the legit stuff.

well the reason i'm asking is becasue i wan thte USDM mugen lip in CF but i don't like the look of cf sideskirts. But i really want the type R style ones. I would get the CTR but then it would be too expensive to paintover taffetta white

i think the potential for skirts to get chipped up is not bad compared to a bumper.

im kinda having 2nd thoughts about installing them. =o(

How did you guys install your Side skirts?

I ordered the USDM CTR replica sides, did you have to drill into the panels etc..? Anyplace with a write of how to install the USDM sides?
