OK first off, I just got a used set of the RKSport Streetfire side skirts from Titus Popa (Thanks man!!!) and noticed that there is a molded in crease towards the front of the sideskirt, like it's seperating the top half from the bottom half, and it's only on the front of the skirts, weird. Anyways, what do you all recommend as a good body filler for the urethane??? I preferably don't want the line there, and want to see what you all suggest to fill it in with.
Also, the door filler panels for the Streetfire kit, are they the same as factory ones??? If so, I'll just keep the factory panels on there, and use only the skirts.
Thanks for any and all info!!!

That molded seam is there to line up with the bottom edge of the door so there's a continuous line. Fill it in if you want, but I'd just leave it.
And yes, the door skins are the same shape as the stock ones so there's no need to change them. They're just made a little differently so they can be attached without the holes in the body that the stock ones use. I found I had to oval out the holes in mine though and lower the stock ones a bit to get them to line up right.
Well, I got the skirts on, the passenger side had to be adjusted a bit. (Heat gun and an orbital sander will work wonders, LOL) I think I'll keep the line in there though. And BTW, the tape on the bottom of the skirt for holding it to the flange on the door sill is a $#!TTY idea. I used factory style flat sheet metal screws to hold them on, and it's working great.
Also, I saw your car in Pontiac Performance magazine, WW!!!!

I took it a step further than that. I cut off the sill area of the stock skirts and bonded it to the Streetfire skirt so I'd have the tabs running along it.
I also used a pair of bolts though to hold it securely in place.
The Streetfire skirt is a bit thinner than the stock one so you might want to put something between it and the stock support rail so it sits flush and isn't being bent a bit out of shape.
