SFC's that uck up on non-GFX cars?

Are there any SFC's (outer) that tuck up nicely and aren't really visible from the side of the car on cars that don't have ground effects?

Can anyone post pics from the side to show how visible/hidden the various brands are on non-GFX cars?

thanks.

Spohn SFC/s will work, they tuck up out of sight.

Spohn, UMI and Alstons come to mind....

I know the BMR's that I bought stick out like a sore thumb.... still trying to figure out how to get them out without destroying the car

Re: SFC's that uck up on non-GFX cars?

I have the UMI ones, and they cant be seen except for the part that bolts to the rear LCA area. The tabs are WAY oversize in my opinion and would probably not be a problem trimming them. If that was done, you would never see them. Also, the color you choose is important. The people who have red they stick out much more than black.

Here are a few pics of my car, you cant even tell they are there...

Global West SFC stick down if you don't have FX, but are one of the better designs. Black is not really noticeable honestly...

You car has ground effects being an IROC. The OP is concerned b/c his car does not have ground effects.

Spohns tuck up more than any of the others i have seen. Make them black and they will vanish. Global Wests are similar to Spohns, but seem to hang a little lower in places.

I have spohn sfc on my Sport Coupe and they tuck up very nice. You have to really be looking to notice they are even there. I have one of the older sets that have the square tubing, I think the newer ones have round tubing but the design is basically the same.

Wow, I guess I got to go back to reading comprehension 101. All i saw was GFX and thought it was about GFX cars. Disregard my post.
