OEM 03/04 skirts are ugly. If you say you like them, you are too lazy/cheap to get them painted. I would know.

 

^

 

03/04 Nismo are sick, not that I have a pair....

 

meh...the other thing about the side skirts is that they are much more noticable in pics on the internet then in real life when they arent in your line of sight..lol

 

u need to totally replace them...painting them looks ghetto

 

Whatever! I've seen plenty in person. (There are ~387,000 G35 Sedans in Tallahassee LOL) and the two flaws that IMMEDIATELY draw my attention are un-painted lower sills and hazed headlights.

 

hazed headlights yes...3m ftw..lol

the black side skirts are more sporty looking, 05-06s have more of the old people luxury car look to them

lets see some sedans with painted OEM black stuff...post em up

 

Replace with what? Nismos? that look identical?

I don't knwow aht you mean? you wanna see OEM skirts that have been painted black? or OEM skirts that have been colour matched (referring to gray skirts only)

 

well painting the black parts of the OEM bumpers is pretty ghetto looking though..lol

 

Ohh of the bumpers? not the skirts.

 

yeah I guess thats what I was thinking of..lol

I can just think of so many better ways to spend the amount of money it would cost to buy new front and rear bumpers and have them professional painted along with the side skirts...I mean thats got to be at least $1000 to do it right...lots of things on my to buy list ahead of that

 

Depends who you know I guess. Paint work for my costs very little.

Get some's painted parts don't look half bad. He actually pulls off a stock body very well.

 

That's a great idea!!! Me, Steve, Jorge and others can post up our matched sides... you can complain... then we can all get in a big argument and get this thread locked AGAIN.... yes, sounds like fun.

 

Not even close. Most get it done for 300-400.

There were others

Why do so many 03-04s get 05-06 tails.
