Carbon Factory?

Anyone familiar with these guys? (I should have searched first.)
Looking at these side skirts https://www.carbonfactory.co.uk/prod...-skirt-style-g
Wondering if anyone has prior experience with them.

I'm not familiar with them but i've been looking at these. I think it would add a little more of a sporty look along with my front bumper lip. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284847775302

Wouldn't that block off the carpet lights on the side?

It would. I would have the shop painting them cut out the diameter of the lens to allow for the light to still pass through.

Edit: The way the light projects the pattern, it likely won't work with the side skirts and I would not need to cut out the hole. Those lights are not that big of a deal to me though.

Check in your exterior lighting settings in the idrive menu as well. You can turn them on and off there.
