sports pkg side skirts?

Anyone know where I can find a decent price on the sport package side skirts? I have yet to see a set in the classifieds, but there is a set of mud guards for the sport skirts.

I doubt you'll find a used set, as there aren't any aftermarket ones for sale yet (none that
I've seen).

Try calling Rick at Riverside for the forum member price.

The difference is VERY subtle...almost not worth buying a new set to do it. I didn't realize there were any aftermarket side skirts.

Sport package has no different side skirts. All G's have the same side skirts, unless you mean the mud flaps or whatever they're called.

IMPUL and Tommy Kaira make side skirts.

Q8y drifter, the Sport package does have different side skirts although the look is subtle. I recently had a car accident and had to replace the side skirt. They ordered the non-sport side skirt and realized it was different from the other. They had to reorder the sport side skirt. Is it an upgrade? Not to me but it came with the package

I just looked at like a hundred pics, I'm still not sure what the difference is (we dont get the sport package here so i can't tell first hand). Anyhow, is the difference in the way it curves downwards and out a little? I think I see it but I'm not sure. Anyhow, i've had the car for almost 3 years and I never knew they were different LOL

You got it, its where the side skirts turns a bit under the passenger door. That is the only difference, very subtle but I still had the bodyshop order the identical skirt. It would hav bugged me knowing I had two different panels

I dont know what it is, but to me it looks alot better with the sport package skirts. I know its a real subtle difference, but then again im probably not going to spend $500 just swap skirts.

Black sedan I totally agree with you...but I don't think it looks good enough to pay that much. If you feel like going through the hassle of getting them painted bodyshops usually get them pretty cheap. Call around to junk yards to get them dirt cheap. If I was paying out of pocket I wouldn't worry about trying to get OEM side skirts, knockoffs would be just fine for me. I requested OEM only because the other guys insurance was paying for it.
