Added a skirt mod. What's the general consensus? Look good or cheap?

Can't really make it out, is it black?

+1 the shadow is making it hard to see

Yeah, it's hard to see but it's the black section with the curve

Not sure, need more pictures at different angles.

Great looking car but the skirts look like they have been chopped off by some blind boy racer

I can see what your trying to do but the skirts are at that depth to match the front and rear of the bumpers so it's all the same height. Looks alright although also looks like the car is lacking some substantial bodywork for a car or it's size, althought it's just an illusion.

But if you like it, that's all that matters.

I like them can't see much of them admittedly. But I like the curve down at the rear

Can't really see the skirt. Picture at another angle maybe?
Swet car though. Nice garage too.

Cheers guys, opinions appreciated and thanks for the compliments. I'm as unsure as you it seems. Leaving it on for a while to see if it grows on me. What i do like is that it tapers the car in further/ maybe a bit sportier and that the curve mirrors the door. Just concious it's too boy racererery as Terryvision mentioned. Still want it to look classy. Anyway, another view (always blends with the shadow):

At first glance it looks like the skirt is missing.

If you were able to trim the part near the front arch to roll down like it does at the back arch it would perhaps look more like the rise and fall of the skirt line. Also raise the whole sticker to under the door line so you don't see the skirt panel shut line.

Having said that, it looks nice when this chap did it;

Here is an example of what I mean by rise and fall of the side skirt effect, body length at each arch but mid car its some inches higher in effect;
