hiwords is right, used S4 side skirts w/ S4 lower door moldings... cleanest and best looking option imo. just picked up a set, will throw up pics after I paint them

That probably explains why I cant find them anywhere, thanks. I attached a picture but it is the black strip you see when you open the door, and its one piece. Underneath it there is like a truck bedliner coating that stripping away. Would the S4 skirts fit on over that stuff? Also would they look bad with the stock bumper? I also having trouble finding the s4 oem side skirts.

I've got a crack in mine as well:

I've been thinking about just removing them to be honest. They look glued on, and the lower door mouldings would go down far enough to get to that rubberized undercoating, i bet it wouldn't look much different with them on or off.

Thats a really good idea, although I wonder how well it would hold up with all the salt here in VT. My rubber coating is coming off, I wonder if I can remove that (seems like it be real difficult), and paint that part as well.

ECS tuning carries both the molding and the S4 side skirts.

i think you should ditch the lower door moldings personally, makes the skirts stand out a bit in my opinion.

I found them in the s4 section on ecs, would I have to get the s4 moldings as well or could I keep mine?
