Factory OEM aero package worth anything on the track or just unnecessary weigt?h
i have an 02 SE with the full aero package like the one below. I bought it for the 6 speed, torsen, ABS, sport brakes, VVT, etc, not the aero or the yellow color. Should I remove the side skirts? Do they do anything for aero or are they strictly for looks and some additional un-needed weight?

You really need to search man. Both your strut tower brace question and this one were discussed in detail.
In fact Emilio himself (who you referred to in the other thread) answered the stb question.
Give it a try. Search. If you seriously still can't find it afterwards, I'll link you to the discussions.

I searched and didn't find anything! M Adams, you're running it on track, so I would assume those side sills are functional. I would leave on the front airdam and rear trunk spoiler, but the sills and rear wheel "mud flaps" is what I was wondering about.
As far as being a NOOB I had my first Miata, a 90, in 91, probably before most of the guys on this site had their drivers licenses.

Mud flaps have no place on a track car. Neither does the tiny lip on the trunk.
The front lip may have some effect, though very minor I'm sure..
Basically they all do nothing, if you're looking for legit aero effects, buy/build legit aero equipment.
