I like the mods so far. As to the deepfake photoshop on the skirts, my 2 cents would be to trim it and call it good. Keep in mind the bottom of the tire is traveling at the same speed as the road surface, not 2x speed like the top of the tire. You are adding frontal area at a point of diminishing returns in my opinion.

I need to try this on the Golf.
