jdm nismo skirts vs. usa nismo skirts??
i really can't tell a difference. through all of the forum searching i only found two comparable pics and they look the same. one is with a glossy grey paint and the other is with the jdm-spec nismo off-white. ppl say the jdm skirt is softer but i think that's just because of the paint, right?

It also seems like the JDM has a fine line going across the side skirt whereas the USDM does not.

I have the USDM sides. Both JDM and USDM have the line you are talking about, it just shows up better on the JDM picture above.

Yeah, getting them from Japan probably a bit better. I was quoted like $995 from a US shop back when I was looking around. Regardless, the US skirts are made to take all the punishment you can throw at them and are WAY cheaper, so it was a no brainer for me, even though I prefer the look of the JDM skirts. Just couldn't justify it.
