Here ya go guys... the sides are a little low, these arent the finished version, just the prototype to get the fitment good. We're going to raise them up a little since, as you can see, they're lower than the revised front now, but atleast they're on! oh yeah, and the grille is white now.. finally!

Sides look great on the sedan, any plans for a rear now?

thanks for posting Grant...I agree with you that they are very low and agressive. Great start though!

Excuse the crude paint skill. This is how I'm thinking it is going to end up. Main thing was to get to the mounting to the body correct and like stock. The height part is easier the the mounting.

Grant can you send me a dead on side shot? I need to see how much of the swoosh will be lost by raising it up like the modified picture.

This is all great. I would say a rear would definitely have to be in the works since even when the fix the sides to match the front, the rear will be way out of balance. I will be purchasing the entire kit by next summer once its available. I have a very strong feeling. But I also very impressed by ttrank's front bumper as well. Going to be a tuff decision.

well your decision will be solely made on whether you have an 03-04 or 05-06. Ttrank's bumper is only for 03-04's. Ours is only for 05-06's.

Here's if we make the front line up with the bumpers lowest point.



That's not a very tall sideskirt for how detailed the Impul is, but it looks like the only way to make everyone happy. Even than the rear is a little low, the rear dip could be raised up a little.

^^^ have you guys tried the Nismo sides yet with the bumper? Looking at your changes, they are very similar to the Nismo if you smooth out the sharp angle along the side of your skirts. Just a thought.

Havent tried em yet, but i think they're a little too conservative for the kuruma, that's why i suggested impul in the first place.

Are the nismo sides really that much? http://www.g35parts.com/9083/osc/pro...roducts_id=224

The Giallas are way low. http://bulletproofautomotive.com/cat...il.php?ID=2388

Impuls are not bad in height.

AIT are not too bad either.

Of all of them the coupe impul to the sedan look the best to me, just need to get them to be ok height wise.

The Nismo sides come pre-painted, that's why they cost that much. The gialla, impul (sedan) and ait are all FUGLY.... i like our rendition of the Impul's the best, Viet!!

We'll get em right, my little modified picture is not the best for the detail of the skirt since the picture is slightly at an up angle in the front. But I kind of like that tapered look on the arch/detail thingy.
