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?

i think its a fitment issue..

praecurvo 10-12-2006 10:12 PM

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.

the JDM side skirts sell on japanparts for like 620+ shipping from japan

the actual list price on them from nismo is roughly 570 US dollars

MustGoFastR 10-13-2006 10:41 AM

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.

I have the JDM sides coming in on the 20th...currently running a GB on the Nismo kit.
