I disagree Josh (I have these OE sides as well), look at the back part in both pics... it is hard to see because of the sunbeams lighting but it would appear they have the indents... look closer. :confused2:

I think you're right, but one of the pictures did make it look like the indent was shadow... Try eyeballing the overall drop of the sides on the bottom edge, It looks to me like the aftermarket sides sit a tiny bit higher.

weird, I've never seen the scoop version ever. People have been bugging for FG reproductions of the OEM's for a while, so those would be an easy cheap alternative, especially as it was mentioned, you just fill in the scoop.

Exactly^^ look at the overall skirt. mainly the top edge and the top of the fronts. It is a lot thicker than the FG knock off's. I have OE skirts as well and when they are all clean and shiny from angles there is enough of a curve on the bottom to give it that appearance, especially with a cell camera. I know someone locally who is thinking about getting the car. If I did I would just sell the skirts drop in a new K8 and sell it :/ WAY TOO much red on the inside for me. makes me feel like I would be in a bad movie.

Hmmm Josh is pretty close to Seattle right? Buy it, part the skirts and hatch shade, sell it. Could probably make an easy 500+ bucks there.
