The WW RS kit flares out more than the OEM kit, thus giving it a lower look. But the OEM fits better and doesn't have those weird slits in the front lip

werd... I've never liked those slits. Like wtf are those there for? But the rest of the kit is soo nice!
they both look really good to me, but the reason i went with OEM was because of the $$$ I saved not needing to paint the OEM kit, since it comes painted.

The RS Flares more and is lower hanging than the OEM kit. But I like the OEM kit better overall, the RS Sides are what I want outta the RS kit though.

price wise however, they come out to be about the same......unless you get OEM on sale, OEM is about $800 - $900 and WW is $475 unpainted........+$400 - $500 painted..... = about the same
I like the oem one better. the WW RS seems like it flares out too much in some pictures ... especially on black and white ones. I like the WWRS on Blue_Prelude's ride though.
The WWRS hangs lower as mentioned above, fits less cleanly. The OEM kit will match perfectly, unlike the WWRS painted inexpensively.
The slits would prevent excessive drag due to the fact that the WWRS hangs lower.
The sides flare out more perhaps for looks, but again the WWRS hangs lower and because of that the sides must flare out to keep the circular pattern of the wheel well. It would look odd if it hung lower and was rectangular. The OEM kit flares less because it maintains the circular pattern of the wheel well with that much flaring.
IMO, the WWRS looks awsome from the back/side view because it does make the car appear snug to the ground. The front however looks good only on Blue/Black, because they can pull off having two slits in the front without drawing atttention to the holes.
i really like both kits...i went RS though b/c i wanted something more aggressive....plus it was cheaper at the time...the oem kit does fit much better, although the look is so "clean" that it barely looks like you even have a kit on the car (in my opinion)..i would put it on my car any day though...i'm not a big fan of the RS slits in the front either, but i've grown used to them...plus you can barely notice them since my car is black....
OEM - More expensive, Better Fit, Less Agressive, Better Color Match...
RS - Less expensive, Fit isn't as good, More Agressive, Color match depends on who paints it..
Thanks people.. I have a NBP lude and recently bought the oem sides and rear, still waiting for a front lip.. From what i heard, i think i might trade my oem sideskirts for the RS sideskirts, they do look nice.. If anyones interested in trading their RS NBP sideskirts for oem's, let me know.. Thanks for all the input..
I have the OEM front lip and I am getting the WW sides and rear. I like the WW sides and rear, but I don't know about those slits, so I just got the OEM front first
Originally posted by checkmate58 I went with the OEM kit because I got a special price on it when Hparts had their sale.. you can't beat 400 bucks shipped for the entire kit.

The agressive look has lots of uses. The multitiered aluminum wing for example. It produces the necessary downforce for when you are driving 215 mph. I find it helps me corner when I am going to school and I'm running late.
