I had a black 5dr, to be honest did not see the point of the arches / skirts as you could not really see them against the black, if I had a lighter colour car I would leave them on.

A couple of pictures of mine if it helps in any way, this was also fitted with CL bumpers / mirrors and side rubbing trims.

yea does look super nice.

I'll have a look when i take them off, see whats behind... if its ok i'll keep them off. Which will also help when dropping it on its ass on some deep rims.
