same here, other than the height and tiny gap in the front, they're perfect

Nice...I really like them. The height is the only thing to fix from looking at the pics. I was pretty much dead set on getting the new sedan however I might decide to stay with this.

OK. Then it will be the bumper I see here. That was a easier decision than I thought.....(LOL)

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.
With the rear dipped evened out to match the front, these side skirts will be perfect. This is what I am talking about. Now that I see the sideskirts evened out and with the rear dip raised to match the front, the stock rear valances line up perfectly. Might not need a rear valence after all....but we all know we cannot leave well enough alone.....keep up the good work guys.

Looks bad *** Grant. I agree with Chico. The Nismo sides look pretty close to the matching sides you may end up with. But, if they can be done for cheaper than the painted Nismos, then its a done deal on what will sell with that bumper.

Can't wait to see it all fit and trim

Side sills are coming out nicely. I see an opportunity to mix and match for us 05/06 guys these side sills with the oem front chin spoiler and the Nismo sides with this new front bumper and vice versa... I can wait to see what the rear valence will look like I have a feeling it will be just what I'm looking for to match my lip spoiler and stillen sills.

Looking at all those sides as well as the Stillen's, you guys have decent choices out there.

Saw Ttrank's front and it sits a little lower than the Nismo sides, what does that mean? This is a serious question, would the Nismo sides as is fit this new 05-6 bumper height wise?

I want to see how these sides look with the nismo front for the 03-04 sedans. I'll be your test dummy if you want

I think it would Rookie. You guys are doing a great job so far, but in my opinion (and it's only my opinion ) the sedan looks better with smoother sides than with sharp edges. I say this from personal experience in going through a couple of mix and matches with my car and opted for the Nismo sides. In pictures they look too subtle but they are really nice in person and complete the car nicely. The sharp edges create too much reflection and lightens them up making the sides almost impossible to match the paint.

Given the agressiveness of the bumper, a larger (slightly...maybe 0.50" to 0.75" in height) Nismo version of the sides would be amazing in my opinion.

Making the nismo sides but just lower would be hard to justify. If the Nismo sides fit this revised front we may not even need to make any sides. Was looking for something to match up height wise, Grant mentioned all the side fit all sedans?

yes they do. I was just looking at some pics of my car and noticed that my Nismo sides sit a bit lower than my OEM lip. So it looks like the newly revised bumper will match up to them perfectly. If you like, PM me your email and I'll send you hires pics so you can see what I mean.

Thanks for the pics man. I think Grant's going to end up with some one offs. lol, I don't see a reason why the Nismo sides shouldn't be mated up with this new front. They look good, fit well, and even come pre-painted.

Hey Chico, can you measure with a tape measure from the corner of the sidemarker (towards the headlight) to the lowest point of the bumper with the lip?

This would pretty much answer the height question.

Quote: 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!

Hawt! Can't wait to see it finished.

When these parts get modified, are the old ones getting tossed?

looks great so far. as long as its just a prototype

sorry to say this though, grant, ur car looks ricer man. maybe i'm just biased. but i see that set up wayyyy too much among ricers down here in LB. but yenno, on other cars such as accords, integs, and other various sedans. but none of theirs are custom like urs.

keep it up....maybe i'm just biased towards black rims, but i really want to see those sevas back on your car man!!
