...Those Ugly Grey Side Sills..Get them off

Ok so i was reading in the sticky thread that i can get those ugly grey side sills removed from my G sedan. And i can get Nismo (aero) ones put in.
im curious as to where i can purchase them, how much im looking to pay, and what about paint?


2004 G35 Sedan (i think my color is midnight blue. but thats not official)

also i got my OEM Halgoen headlight bulbs changed to HID with the ballast.
I want to get the tail lights changed to an LED white bulb as well. Can i just buy a 168 bulb and it will be plug and play?


Thanks for all your help in advance.
New to these forums. As well as Car modification. Thanks for the patience

^If your car is dark blue the color is called "Twilight Blue" (Often abbreviated TB here)

Pm 19kdrill for the sides, he can most likely get them in TB for you.

I got my Nismo sides painted for $30 from my paint guy. It's a spot on match.

You can't. Good paint, hardner, and reducer is expensive. $30 is nuts and you won't find that deal most anywhere. I'd expect to pay at least $200 to paint the sides.

^LOL, I can beat that! I can spray them for $15 (one can of krylon spraypaint per side)! They prolly won't match and the paint may come off on the first wash, but it's CHEAP!

Don't worry, OP. I got TB Nismos.
