molly sides are just flat... i would think that isnt aggressive enough for the trd front. not a fan of the rmm sides.

my car is silver.

The problem with the TRD front bumper is that it's as high as stock, if not higher, and most sideskirts tend to be lower than stock. It would make the setup kinda weird looking, unless you got a CF splitter.

would a splitter remedy the height difference? i didnt think they were that thick...

The splitter won't make that much of a difference, I've seen pics. Unfortunately not much can go with the TRD front because of the height of the bumper.

My next choice in sides would be Molly, but you already said no. :D

i was looking at the molly pre painted GB or whatever that was in one of the threads... would the flat sides flow with the kit? could someone do a chop for me?

Jesse IL has a TRD front and TRD rear. He also has a set of Molly sides he's gonna install. I'm not sure when he's going to install it though.

What about the WW sides, since they look a lot like stock? I assume that the sit a little lower though since they are not flush to the car like the TRD sides are...

I've got Molly with TRD front and RMM rear. I think it looks nice, but I am adding a splitter to give the front end just a bit more down low. If I get a chance to clean my car, I'll take some pics.

I know it's not the same setup, but the RMM rear is similar to the TRD rear, so you can get an idea from this pic. It's LarryD's old celica by the way.

yeah, i saw that link in the gallery. didnt he have the kam front though? thats the part im worried about, the trd front lining up with the sides.

Yeah he had the Kam front.

I think it'll line up, because the rear of the TRD flares out just as much as the TRD front does. I don't know if that made any sense. :gap: I guess you'll just have to wait for Jesse to take some pics.

Don't hold your breath waiting for pics from me. It looks like its gonna be in the 30's for the next week around here. That rear shot of Larry's car looks almost identical to what the rear of my car looks like.

how about just painting the stock side skirts?

I don't remember how they look because i have the AP sideskirts on but like everyone said, the bumpers aren't much lower then stock, so stock shouldn't be too awkward looking.

the front seems to match up well, but the rear valence is a little low compared to the sideskirt. Looks nice anyway. You have the molly sides now right? I've always meant to get my front license plate filled like yours (its filled right. looks like it in the picture)
Jesse IL

The license plate area and corner marker holes are filled, yes.

And I have Molly sideskirts now. Everyone in this thread is waiting for pics of it.
