So Im about to pick up some Skirts, which would you say looks better (as I've never really had a chance to see them IRL).

I voted for M-Tech. As its one solid piece. The ACS is a thinner skirt and it is applied to the stock skirts. To me a solid construction would be more sturdy and prob last longer. Also, its the OEM style, so it would match the M-Tech front.

M-tech, voted!
Im going through the same decision. I like the acs better because it has a design. It has the groove along the length of it plus that little vent cut-out. Looks sporty. The M-tech looks like stock just flared a little bit. I cant seem to find a good deal on a bumper alone so I'll probably just get the m-tech kit. I think the bumper is the most important part. The ACS skirt looks best, however, with the acs front. There was a guy selling thw whole kit in this section recently, in white and it looked awesome. But it had acs front and it was on 20's

Mtech. It flares out. IMO looks more aggressive.

But say you were to get an awesome deal on some AC-S style sideskirts..like for $100 bucks..I would go for that

I just happen to be selling replica AC-S sideskirts already attached to the stock sideskirt for $100
