My vr6 has with out and a bit of arch flare, it does look good. Infact the only bit of black plastic is the front splitter. I will upload some pics once I get my new wheels  :grin:

2 reasons why I removed them.

1) clearance for the bigger wheels.
2) they are a rust / water trap

Worth remembering how much the sill covers can hide.
