USDM sides FTL. The JDM ones are so much better.

I understand, but when you see the difference in the sides on the car, you'd know why.

+1 the JDM sides look 10x better. BTW why not get the USDM rears if you have USDM sides?

Actually depends on what color Z you have. On darker colors especially black, the usdm sides and rears are perfect. the Jdm ones you cant even make out. On other colors such as silver, They stand out a whole lot more, making them look bulkier. On black they are a plus FTMFW!
For silver Please go with JDM, the silvers cant pull this off. On white forget it.. get the usdm's

Part 2 - there is a seller that has perfect replicas but in jdm.

Doesnt really answer my question FTL

THE TECH

Yes and no. The USDM sides flow terribly by themselves. So adding the JDM rears may be ok but you may not like it. But in the end it is up to you whether they flow. Asking everyone else only gets everyone else's tastes.

USDM are much too thin IMO. Go full JDM (incl spoiler) and it will have much greater visual appeal.

I see, so the jdm are much fatter and the usdm's are thin

I already have the full kit just missing the rears but will match everything.

What's the difference? Anyone have JDM Nismo sides and rear pics?

The jdm ones are smaller, thinner, less agressive. The ones in the pics above are usdm

The "fatter" ones like are shown on the red Z rolling above are the USDM and the ones yous see with less bulge and more ground clearance or "thin" ones are the JDM side skirts.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you had it backwards.

I seem to be one of the few that prefers the bulgier(?) USDM skirts but I think it all depends on color and other kit pieces. I'm putting them on my LeMans.

If I can borrow Vaugh1576's car for a minute. It's a beautiful example IMO.





and Masterj26 car..... Hope they don't mind but I love their rides.



last one....




I also agree with the above poster that on darker colors like black the JDM skirts hardly show up at all but some people prefer a sleeker look.

Either way, post pics but I would say go with the rear pieces that match your sides... that way you keep the same line down the side of the car.

Oh I see... I have the USDM ones, I thought the only difference was the material. Mine are made out of poly, I heard the JDM ones are fiberglass?
