Buyer beware. I asked for pics of the Nismo sides and someone had the replica's and said they fit like crap.

My sideskirts are only replica I have on my Z but its from replica that Performance sells. Its made by VIS Racing. Fitment isn't perfect but very good. So If you're looking for replica kit, buy it from reputable vendors, Other than that, you're disgrade your Z to souped up Civic level car. (IMO)

I can't say for the other companies but our Aerosync Nismo polyurethane front bumper is great for daily use. Fitment is near OEM perfect.

I have replica sideskirts and their fitment sucks crap. I woulda went with the authentic USDM sides but I like the JDM sides a lot better, and it's almost impossible to get authentic JDM sides here stateside. I would suggest that you avoid replicas if possible, and get some more opinions from vendors (like above).

I've got the VIS ones and going into the shop as we speak. They basically told me they will require lots of prep and work to make them look right. He said the more expensive kits fit better and take less work (fiberglass) but I looked at it like this. You can pay more for the kit and have less body shop work or pay less of for the kit and pay more at the shop. I'd try and see some replica shots without work done and with. I'll let you know how mine looks in a few weeks.

Beer... That answer's my question to you in the last thread...

basicly, you gotta drill holes in them and either screw them directly to the body or some type of rivet...

I bought a replica JDM nismo wing off of ebay for 160 dollars, test fitted it and it was beautiful. There is one small gap but for prep, paint, and install it will only run about 150.00 according to the shop

The ones from Performance Nissan, Nismo polyurethane kit fit extremly well. I brought them about 2 weeks ago, and I will take pictures of my car when it's finished. But the shop I brought it to said it was so easy to work with, and fit like if not better than the real sides and front. The front bumper might have alittle fitment issue, but isnt anything big.
