yes its very temporary. the car just gets too much attention from police with no rear bumper and missing skirts. so i quickly zip tied the front plates so they can't pull me over for no front plate.

it looks like crap don't mount it like me.

but if you DO it, put layers of thick tape on the back of the plate so it doesn't scuff your bumper.

Skirts painted, but got too lazy to drill and mount them. So I propped it up on some wood and a jack. The front of the skirt popped out as I got the pic.

Fitment is excellent. Just gotta stop being lazy and mount them already.

Great choice on the headlight finishing.

Do your INGS skirts sit lower in the front than your bumper? Mine do, but then again mine are just replicas. Curious though.

not sure yet. haven't really tried them on since i've been busy wiring the rear fog lamp and fitting the diffuser.

I think the skirt matches up nicely with the nismo front + splitter.

Yeah definitely. The splitter is beat up and has chunks missing off of it. Honestly, I only keep it there to save my front bumper. I was thinking of maybe painting it gloss black to hide the scrapes better.

I'm gonna take some tabs and JB Weld those bitches onto the back of the skirt so they'll pop into the old holes. Either that or use double sided tape. I prefer to keep the door sill flap smooth so however I attach it, it won't be visible when you open the door. I don't like the self tapping screw crap that a lot of guys use. It looks whorrible.

I'm currently in the process of doing this too. Complete PITA cutting off the tabs/prongs from old OEM skirts and JB Welding them onto the back of my Impuls so i dont have bolt heads showing.
