Are the side skirts black or painted the body color?
M-technic molding is enough to swap.

Basic gray side skirts, or painted body color as Steve asked?

If you have body color side skirts, you'll look fine. If you have the gray skirts, you might want to think about getting those painted at the same time, or getting the M-tech ones.

It might look a bit off, if you have gray skirts and the M front.
