Considering Maxton Accessories

I can get them for 1300$ CAD (rear, front and side skirts) - Canadian place is in Mississauga.

1. What do you think about it generally (on a white 2019 coupe)

2. apparently you have to drill into the body - I feel like that would impact the value of the car, no?

3. Does it impact the ride height (we are dealing with tight dimensions in an i8 as it is) too majorly.

Like only the front lip.
I would go for the plastic or the black color

It depends. Who does the inspection sometimes they don't care about that.

Yes I will affect the body air of the car. If you have terrible roads, don't get it, you will destroy it (front lip). if your stock height, you should be fine

The depreciation is more about considering the car has the potential to be a classic and making these type of modifications can have impacts imo. I guess also for regular resales...

I am in Montreal so roads are terrible.

I think I will pass, I don't like the idea of drilling holes in a 100k car...
