Smile Opinions Needed...

I have a line on a set of DG Nismo side skirts. Would it look odd to run them w/o the Nismo front/Hikka Front? Also, how about running them temporarily when the front/rear lower sills are not color matched?

I space out the expenditures but may not want to pass these sills up.

Thoughts?

It would stand out that's for sure. Why not just wait and put it all on at once? My Nismo parts sat in my basement for a year.

I am impatient if parts are lying around Plus the front end is not in the budget for a bit.

I think it would look wierd still, your better off saving for a new front first. Honestly if I could do it all over again................I rather buy coilovers first then my nismo kit.

If the nismo sides are really what you want, get them now since you found a set available. Worry about if you want to install them or not after you get them Your other options if you wanted to wait are the Nisrookie sides or the Impul sides made by HikkataDori.

Patience is key, that nismo kit can come after anyways. After dropping my car on coilovers I dont think I can ever go back LOL

With rare discontinued parts you gotta jump on them when they become available. I wouldn't run them without a front and rear, just hold onto them until you collect the rest of your body kit.

true. I have decided the lower sills bug the crap out of me so I am getting quotes on paint. The Nismo sills are very tempting

If I didnt do them, i would just paint my OEM sills then get the Hikka front since it doesnt sit as low. We shall see what the quote is (a good friend's friend's body shop)
