    These are the best looking side skirt options out there - IMHO, but I am really partial. I actually bought these side skirts before actually buying my D. Yeah, dork, I know, but I knew exactaly how I wanted my car to look. I am not fond of the rear air hole or the "delorean" letters and air hole versions.

    These might be the deepest side skirts I've seen for a D. Not that I've seen a lot of them...

    Since it is a recent purchase have you checked to see whether they work with a floor jack at the 4 body lift points? Just curious. I assume you do your own work on the car and don't have some other way besides a floor jack to safely lift at least a corner of the car.

    Yes they do. They cut around the jack points and do not cover them.
    I've had them on my car since 2003.

    The corners where they dip down below the bottom of the car make it a bit hard when putting on a lift but not a real big deal.
