Default JDM Rocker covers (side skirts) VS USDM

Does anyone happen to know if there is any difference? I can't quite tell from the pictures but it looks to me as though they are nearly identical I am just assuming they are trying to catch more search results by adding "JDM" to the listing.

Trying to find an affordable pair of side skirts and the local junkyard wants 500 for the set. Seems not many people are parting one out in the NE right now.

Damn, I just found this but I think it is incorrect (non-nismo anyway).

U are somewhat local. I do have sideskirts that need to come off since I have new ones sitting in my house. They are black and in good condition. Do you do any body work?

If by bodywork you mean another set of hands to help install side skirts yes, have any bodywork experience, no.

But I would be more than happy to buy your side skirts once you get the new ones on, or help if I can as well.

There is a difference. This has come up a few times in the past. The USDM version bulges out more than the JDM. This applies to the authentic ones though not the replica. By bulges I mean those curved surfaces. I have the USDM version. It got discontinued long ago.

Are you talking about the Nismo sides? I am just referring to the stock side skirts that you can still get from the dealership for about $450 each side.

Heard back from the ebay seller and they believe they fit the same, in case anyone is interested or stumbles upon this thread with the same question.
