i don't think it looks terrible however i think it could look better if at the top of the ground effects you had finished it to where it had a smooth joint into the door because the line down the door kinda kills the flow that you would have going there otherwise

What are you talking about? Are you referring to the divet between the front of the door and the fender? If so, that has to be there so that the door will open properly. If not, I'm lost but I'd be interested to know since I plan to do this soon.

The black belt line is actually painted blue too but it does kind of stick out. I briefly considered trying to do something about it but couldn't think of anything that would work well. That much body filler would just crack off eventually and you're not supposed to use body filler on plastic anyways. The bumper repair stuff I normally use might work but its expensive and wouldn't fill that much space either...

that really does surprisingly good. I would say it looks like it need dropped even more though... nice clean install, glad you did this, I know there have been people asking questions about it before.

I plan on doing that as well. I have found half of the skirting so far, but I plan on using it to compliment my Razzi kit as well. You did a nice job on this. I hadn't thought of using it to cover rust on a 2 door. I am using my razzi to cover all of my bumper imperfections from the years.

Looks awesome on a coupe. Not too sure if it'd work on a sedan though. Kudos for trying something different!

Crazytaxi has a 4dr with the ga sides. Looks good with AED and razzi.

I think those sideskirts would look good with an OSV front and rear bumper

I prefer the stock Alero mirrors personally. The ga gt mirrors seem like they stick out a lot farther than the alero mirrors and they are squared on the end which doesn't flow as well with the smooth curves of the Alero in contrast to the sharp lines of the ga and ga gt... Just my opinion. I'm jealous that this guy got his done before me.

I know. To each their own. I'm also one of the few that wants my headlight bezels painted body color. I'm just a freak i guess.
