Sideskirts & rear lip install w/pics
Well I finally finished my custom Extreme Dimensions side skirts and Stillen rear lip. I saw these side skirts at the SEMA show in Vegas in November. Ever since then I have been talking to Extreme trying to buy these side skirts, but they didn't want to sell them because they didn't fit perfectly. Since I own a body shop I didn't care, I would make them fit (with the prices of Impul & Nismo sideskirts). They finally agreed to sell me a prototype set. They ended up fitting pretty well out of the box, but I ended up custom fitting them of course. They were about 1 inch lower than my Nismo bumper so I cut the one inch out, fiberglassed it back together, bodyworked it, primed it, then painted it. Maybe if more people call or make inquires at Extreme Dimensions they can get these into production.

pic 5, cut the one inch out by running a piece of 1" tape along the complete center of the side skirt and cutting it out using an airsaw.

last pic, fiberglassed the two pieces back together on the back side, then completely bodyworked the front side. Hour by hour.

New sideskirts look great!
I also like how you painted your grill and your headlight mod, plus with the 20's and the Nismo front -- the car looks real clean and put together.
One thing... in pic 3 (rear 3/4) it looks like the bumper and trunk lid are a slightly different shade tone (more blue) than the rear quarter panel and the Stillen rear lip? I kinda see it in picture 2 also (side view)?
--Probably just the lighting...
In any case, I figure the binders in the color must make it pretty tough to match perfectly -- probably a lot of side tones in the stock paint. My coupe (same color as yours) picks up some unexpected shades in various lighting...
Anyway it's real subtle on your car -- so maybe I'm just seeing things.
Overall it looks awesome!

Wow, yeah... there it is in pic 4.
Nice! Twin turbo'd!!
The Nismo/ Type N bumper doesn't come with that black mesh... must be custom?

Quick question...what front kit is that? Personally next to the WALD kit I think that is the next "cleanest" kit IMO. Your car is definitely one of the nicest G that I have seen to date. Very clean and subtle. Congrats!~!

Re: Sideskirts & rear lip install w/pics
Damn. I just bought the front lip from the factory... Seeing your rear lip has me convinced i need a rear lip too. Dang it. The search begins for a rear lip that goes with my car.
