does the car need to be lowered as you are cutting out some of the arch?

I'd start from back and then work to the front, skirts last

Is that how high it looks if you don't get it lowered or does the VT* arch sit a bit lower?

It's jacked up in those pics so it looks high, but the VT arch does sit lower than that but it is still stupidly high
See below(before I lowered it)

bumpers and front arches fit, skirts arent long enough and door panels wont fit. anything will fit tho, just depends how deep your pockets are

can pick up a full kit for about 150 -250. not sure how much fitting is if you were to pay someone to do it?ask around. if the skirts arent long enough they just wont go, however there is an aftermarket skirt for the 5door which looks similar. a fella on here with a darck orange 5door did it.
