M3 or AC Schnitzer side skirts for my car?

Guys,

I want to upgrade my side skirts to either the M3 or ACS style ones. I know I should decide what I want for my car but I figured I'd take a poll before I buy them.

My car currently has AC Schnitzer front spoiler and mirrors. I also have an AC Schnitzer roof spoiler waiting to be installed.

Would the M3 side skirts look out of place? My car does have M3 mouldings.

Also, do I need any additional plastic clips, or mounting accessories to mount the new side skirts on my 325is?

Thanks

Jon

Personally I like the M3 side skirts better. They look much better then any side skirt in the market.

Do you have regular e36 side skirts on your car or do you have that grey chip guard thing that bmw had going on in the earlier e36 models? If you don't already have side skirts you need a template to drill the holes for screws that hold on the M3 side skirts. You can find that item at the dealer.Personally I would go with the M3 skirts..If you plan to keep your car its a classic look that will not look cheesy in years to come. Thats just my .02 I have no idea about the acs skirts or how they are held on though...JIM

I'd go with M3 skirts. The Schnitzer ones look kinda plain.

Thanks guys!

I like the M3 side skirts better as well. My car's a 325is that did not come with side skirts.

However, since I already have the ACS front spoiler, I thought it might be better to have everything in ACS.

But I am leaning toward the M3 skirts now.
