Wonder how much of a MPG increase you would see with the rear skirts....but I think a nose beak should go with it to make the front more aerodynamic

I draw the line at putting a beak on, we have to stop somewhere. I do think Pure steelies with racing discs and those skirts could yield a couple more MPGs at highway speeds.

Either way - beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I can't see how any Smart owner could legitimately call any of this companies products ugly when each one of us has been told at least once that our cars are ugly. Could of been a family member or a complete stranger - some of us more than once.

Sorry - when I pull them off the car they'll go to eBay as they are quite pricey (mid-year $Corvette$ sidepipes). I've still got a few more pieces to put together to complete the undercar system but I have been gathering the right trim pieces needed for the last several years so I may have enough to do it, not sure. Enough on my plate right now to keep me occupied for the next few years.

Did anyone notice the Smartvan at the website?

While there is something narley about those caddy style teardrop tail lights -

some of their other "styling" (Photoshop is king!) makes you just want to say, WHY?

Visor, skirts, chrome bumper and connie kit, no.

4 to 1 side pipes on a 3-banger brings up the debate of just how many chrome portholes should one put on a smart - my vote, NONE!

Now if they had Moonies on steel wheels, that could work!
