I am looking at getting some new CF side skirts cus I am cheap and dont want to pay for paint but I am having a hard time finding the right deal. I found these on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem= but I usually dont like getting stuff from ebay. Where would you recommend I buy if I am looking for CF sides around 300$ shipped?

 

$300 shipped for CF side skirts? I don't know of anything in that nature you can buy in CF for $300 shipped.

Not even the universal ones that are just like long and flat pieces of CF that you bolt to the underside of your factory skirts could be purchased and shipped for that amount IIRC.

 

So this ebay is my only chance huh? Oh well, hope I am not out bid on them.

 

I think so... hopefully fitment doesn't suck too much @ss. I haven't really heard much from this KCG company.

The part that really seems to fit awful on (cheap) replica side skirts is where the side skirt touches the door sill. Your factory skits have like 7 plastic pop-rivets that attach it to the body of the car, along with like 7 bolts on the bottom side of your car and 2 on either side of the skirt in the fender wells. I doubt this will fit like that in anyway.

But hell, go ahead and buy them and prove me wrong.

 

yeah ur probably gonna be really sorry buying CF sideskirts from ebay. When they don't fit the only way to get them to work is gonna cause them to need to be painted and then you wasted extra money buying them in CF.

 

No problem Blue at Bluekustoms can paint the top and fade into the CF.

 

Looks like you have some quality expensive parts, why cheap out now?

 

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to be cheap on carbon parts that will be exposed, especially since they are notorious for having extremely poor uv resistance and fitment.

I have C-West carbon sides, and they are absolutely perfect, but they cost near a grand.

 

Actually this company sells them the same price as Mastergrade Standardly "550$" but they put one set on bid instead of buy it now and so here I am. I do not pay over 300$ for any of my carbon fiber parts. Except for my Mastergrade diffuser I spent 380$. Now the only thing that is left is bashing ebay for better deals.

 

Ok I stand corrected, the fittment is garbage and not worth the hassel. Thanks to the members here I have now saved 300$. Anyone Selling PPW or CF side skirts?

 

how'd you find out?

 

Yeah, I'm interested in that as well. I mean, I figured they would have sh1tty fitment, but how did you find out for sure? I haven't heard of anyone that has KCG parts.

 

I can't say it enough guys



STAY AWAY FROM KCG IT IS A SMALL SHOP RUN OUT OF A BASEMENT. I HAVE FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY AND THEY ARE VERY SHADDY AND MISLABEL THEIR PARTS. THERE ARE PLENTY OF THREADS ON THIS SITE IF YOU SEARCH KCG OR KEY COMPOSITES GROUP. THEY WERE A VENDOR ON THIS FORUM FOR 2 WEEKS BEFORE GETTING KICKED OFF !

 

^^^ isnt that the same people that tried to make the knock off MG widebody and posted pics of the real widebody?

 

I have Seibon Cwest sides and id give the fitment a 9.5/10. Reasonably priced considering how large they are.

 

The OP from this thread has the same sides and warned me https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-in...-nismo-v3.html.
The fitment is so bad he lined it with weather stripping to hide the gap. Thank god he saved me before I sealed that deal.

 

Took that 300$ and bought CF fenders from a local forum member. Thanks for the heads up on KCG.
