Need some Pointers on Sideskirts

I'm ordering the front Nismo Replica. Wondering what sideskirts will line up with the car?

Does anyone know where I can pick up a set of Nismo Sideskirts?

Will the Stillen Sideskirts line up with the front?

Will the Extreme Dimesions GT Side skirts?

Know where I can order these from? Site Specific?

Thanks for the help heh, I need to get this done asap. The car has been in the shop for way too long. My bodyguy is getting pissed

extreme dimensions sideskirts require some modifying to fit correctly. I think the nismo sideskirts would look good. I think you can get them at japanparts.com, or check out intensepower.com

How does the replica bumper fit? I've heard horror stories about fitment.

man i hate how people are complaining about fitment on replica body kits. seriously you are paying a fraction of the price of the real stuff, what are you expecting? even if it doesn't fit perfectly, it is easily fixable ( if your body shop if halfway competent) and it is more readily available than the originals. replicas are A-OK with me.

How much extra are people paying the body shops to make a poor fitting replica fit? All that hassle doesn't seem worth it to me.

I have a poor fitting replica (Ings+1) ordered from 350Z Forums purchased for a really good price (~$200-$300). A shop here in Tulsa, OK (known to do very good work) is charging me $550 to mold it in and paint it along with my whole front bumper. Gotta repaint everything if it's getting molded in. I figured if I orderd the real thing at $650 and paying another ~$250 to paint and install it, it's still more expensive than the replica and it's not molded for the seamless lines.

well, to start with - the Nismo replica has had "0" horror stories about fitment - I know that everyone that has recently had it installed actually raved about how well it fits (including me) - $450ish shipped vs $900 shipped is a REALLY big difference... the only thing I didn't get that was included with the real Nismo is mesh, but since I painted the inserts black anyways, I really didn't need it...

oh, and if you don't want to pay the big bucks for the Nismo side skirts, the Stillen ones would work well with Nismo front...

So you know EVERYONE that has ever installed a Nismo replica kit??? What, am I making sh*t up??? I think this guy would differ with your "0" horror stories comment:

BTW, that's not the only post I've read about problems with the Nismo replica kit and about other replica kits. If you've had no fitment issues, that's good. But please don't try and act all knowing and discredit me when you have no idea what you're talking about.

We have a set of Kenstyle side skirts in stock. This is the last set that was seperated. Now you can only buy the full kit.
