Re: Need help to earn a kit-kat bar...really important...

It depends on which car...and it depends on which aftermarket skirts you use. But since this kid didn't even consider it a factor to pick which car and which body kit I'd say don't bother having an arguement with him - it sounds like a ricer conversation. Just collect your kit-kat and leave.

I think the kid does have a point though. Usually when people buy sideskirts, they go over the factory ones. So it is extra weight, even though it does have an aerodynamic advantage, if you need it.

Re: Need help to earn a kit-kat bar...really important...

lol @ tv...if u would like to take a road trip to wi, come on over....the car he is talking about already has side skirts already tho....not just adding them on....but i guess i diddnt add the whole convo...he said u need them to add weight to stay on the ground otherwise u'd flip...not downforce...but sideskirts just allow air to move more freely under the car if im correct... so im just sayin u dont add weight to the car to go faster....it makes no sense at all...
