Well guys, as the title states, this is the current set up I am running. When I bought the nismo/aero front bumper and rear valence, I thought about buying the side sills as well. After seening not much difference for the $500 purchase, I decided to just paint the stock side sills instead. After doing this, I started geting a lot of dirt/grime splashed up onto both of of my doors on each side so I threw the front splash guards back on. As most of you know, the splash guards for the 03-04s are 2 tone (black and body color) so I got the front splash guard painted to match body color. Here is a picture of them after a quick wash/wax today and I know it messes up with the "lines" of the car, but it has really stopped the dirt from getting up onto the body of the car and i am pretty happy about it..this should be a one-of-a-kind mod so far...

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?!?!DOMO

 

Looks very good!

The Nismo ones come out more so the problem is not that bad. I put 3M clear bra on mine to be extra safe.

 

doesnt look bad...

 

Very clean, I like .

Bat™

 

Big fan. Very clean.

 

It doesn't look BAD. But I'd prefer the car without them on.

 

I like! Gotta get me NISMO'd.

 

Looks great makes me miss my car since she's in the body shop getting a rear valence.

 

Nice work. I like it. Mud guards on a car have always been a must for me. I hate washing the car, to only drive thru a small puddle or in the rain a bit, just to get overspray onto the fender/doors.... Good job!

 

+1

It does look better painted though

 

I think it looks fine but I may be bias since I have front and back ones.

 

Damn, those painted side sills look good. How much it cost you and how long you had them on? Any chipping?

 

wow those sides came out really good. maybe I should save the 500 and do it that way. Your whole setup looks good I was considering those wheels earlier but in hyperblack

 

cost was free since insurance paid for it along with my black roof. The sides show no sign of chipping yet *knock on wood* after 3 months although i keep a heavy coat of wax just for extra precautions

I don't know how people can live without mud guards, especially with aggressive offsets, the wheels are so close to fender they kick up everything from the road onto the entire car. I've tried putting the rear splashguards on (after hacking it up a bit) but it looks retarded with the rear valence and the nismos rear sticks out a bit and actually acts as a guard itself so i decided against it. thanks for the compliments guys! I am keeping it on for now.

 

I'm glad to see the pics... I've been debating on painting my side sills and particularly what I would do about the mud guards... looks good - I'm not sure how I'm going with it though... I'm wondering how awkward it would look on the mud guard to follow the line of the bottom of the sill and keep the remainder below that black. Might look weird? I think I would do front and back mud guards though.

Thanks for the pics...
