I'm new here ..... have been surfing here and got great help from all previous posts about the aero kit, pics and DIYs. I recently got the fiberglass aero front bumper and side skirts from someone here for my 03 sedan, no manuals/accessories/clips/screws came with it. The installation was straight forward but with one issue: what clips should I used to hold the part of the side skirts right below the kick panels? The threads I found here are mostly about the front bumper, or pics with doors closed, or olders threads with dead pic links. If anyone knows what to use or where to get those clips, please let me know. Thanks!

 

did you get the VIS kit?

 

Yes I did, the fitment is not too bad w/ minor modification. Will post installation soon.

 

It uses the same plastic clips that are used on the stock sides. I even reused the ones that did not break during uninstalling the black plastic sides. You will break some during removal of the stock pieces, so I would purchase some from the dealer....

 

At first I thought so, then after I got the side skirts done I really don't see where the stock plastic clips can grab on.... I'm posting the pic here so you will get the idea. It might be different from the original Nismo sides.

Maybe someone still got the installation instruction from the original Nismo package can enlighten me.....

 

welcome to the world of body kits/lip kits....if it dont fit...make em fit, u might want to test fit them (which u said u already have) make marks were the hold are or are not, get that big drill of urs and make "smart holes" if u have a buddy that knows a little or done it before, u might want to invest in a case of beer and do it over the weekend!

good luck, cant wait to see pics (im ordering mine this or next week)

 

I am not sure, I am out of town and can't look at mine. I don't recall mine looking just like that, but it has been 4+ years since I installed mine. I am sure someone can confirm....

 

PM Jason@riversideinifiti he might be able to help you find those clips

 

Sure thing we all know the fitment issue of aftermarket kits.... so it kinda surprises me that this kit actually fits well. The mounting holes shown here line up with the original mounting pin holes, and it seems that there might be some special clips needed. There are other ways to clip it on - I'm just meticulous about getting it attached the way the real aero kit does.

Good to hear that your getting the same kit too - if you haven't seen these kits with your own eyes before there's some info might be helpful. Another thread might be needed.

 

Yeah, if someone can get a pic of it that'd be great help, and the original installation instruction will help too.

 

I spoke to Tony@riversideinfiniti this afternoon, he couldn't confirm it cuz he couldn't recall it on top of his head, and he doesn't have one in stock to check. I'll find out from Jason tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.

 

what site did you get the kit from and how much did you pay?

 

I first saw it here: https://g35driver.com/forums/archived-sales/209900-4-door-nismo-replica-front-bumper.html

The guy who sold me the kit got it from visracing.com, City of Industry. $275+ for the front and another $275+ for the sides.

 

Just called Riverside Infiniti, and found that Jason is no longer working there. That's Jason in parts dept. correct? When was the last time you spoke to him?

Also tried PM Jason@riversideinfiniti, and was told the recipient was not found; and Jason@Riverside is not accepting PM (not sure if that's the same person)

 

Does my side skirt not look the same as the original side skirt? If somebody can get a shot at it that'd be much appreciated.
