I just want to add that I purchased the V2 Front and CF cannards from Ken directly about a month ago, and I must say, THE FIT AND FINISH IS 100% SPOT ON !! The CF weave is of such high quality !! SHINE IS THE BOMB !!.. I cut the tow hook circle out and painted the hook red and screwed it in for a proper JDM look !! (lol) My body shop was very impressed with the bumper..

Because at the time, there were probably 5 companies that already made replicas of the JDM sides and rears and I tried to refer our customers to them. However, everyone who has searched for replicas of the sides and rears have come back to us informing that there are no replicas currently in the market that fit to their liking.
So many have pushed us to consider offering it to compliment our front bumper. When I tried getting a hold of a set in the U.S, NONE were available... brand new that is. So I had them ordered from Japan. Backordered like a ****. We just got these in yesterday and did a test fit.
Test fit pics of original JDM Nismo Sides and Rears (FRP):
As you can see, of the rears came in chipped, so yes, **** does happen with JDM parts as well. The rears fit perfect. Those are good to go.
Passenger side sideskirt. 99%.
Driver side sideskirt 95%. There's a slight issue in the front of the sides. It dips in a bit, so we're going to see if we can play around with it. It could be a mounting issue, so we're going to test fit it one more time.
These will also be made in our flexible hybrid FRP material.
