Here is a close up picture of the side skirt. The side next to the front tire is where it?s short. Next to the back tire it?s flush. They didn?t need to modify the side skirt at all, it wasn?t short enough to change any of the attachment points.
The front buldge doesn?t bother me too much. The only way you can see it is if you squat down and look at the car from the front. Standing up, it?s not noticeable. Cutting some hard foam pieces to stick in there is a good idea and a simple fix.

It was a pain in the ass and a hassle to go through but looking back it was a blessing in disguise.

The car is great in so many other ways, I try not to focus on that tiny imperfection.
And like you said, 99% of people out there wouldn't notice.
