Default Side skirts/Rear Bumper to go with Aerosync?

Ok, just wrecked my Z last Saturday I've already ordered the Aerosync front bumper and am looking for opinions on what side skirts and rear bumper go well with the Aerosync? I've already searched through the current Aerosync threads but most of them were older so I'm asking for assistance (I'm in a bit of a time crunch as well and need to order something within the next few days.


I'm not opposed to replicas sold here on the forum if they have good fitment. I'm looking at which rear diffuser to add to the bumper as well. Thanks in advance!

P.S. I've also upgraded from the 2005 headlights to the 06+ OEM headlights so I'm off to a good start

It's a Nismo V1 replica... How about Nismo sides?

The Aerosync is a pretty inexpensive bumper.Also,on the conservative side.
You may want to look at the the side sirts/rear bumper that the Z STORE sells as sort of a private label,MSA TYPE 7.The lines of the skirts would go well with your bumper.
Also,the rear bumper is a good match.
There are many others out there,but this is a start,'
I'm not aware of the fitment of the aerosync.I do get a bit nervous when the price is "too low".Nothing worse than not having a major body part like a bumper with uneven
seams.Perhaps other forum members can chime in on the aerosync.

I'm now eying JDM Spec N2 sideskirts as they're not as bubbly as the Nismo skirts.

Nice! Anyone know where to get Greddy replicas that fit well? I'm on the lookout for used originals as well. Are the JDM N2 sideskirts just add ons to your factory skirts? I just thought about that as if I got those I'm needing a replacement skirt....

Nice balance of the skirts &rear bumper/diffuser.
If this guy is going with a aerosync front bumper(pretty cheap),he may not
have the budget for the parts on your car.Use quality parts that are known to fit or don't do it at all.

Yeah, budget does come into play. I think I'm going with the JDM Nismo side and rear skirts at this point. I do love the Greddy sides but from looking online they're out of my pricerange. I DO want Jcity's rear diffuser. Can that be used on the OEM bumper and if so where can it be purchased?

Thanks Waizzz. I ended up going with the JDM Spec N2 side skirts and rear skirts. They'll be painted to match the car. I also added the Aerosync front bumper and 06+ OEM headlighs so I think I'll enjoy the new look

Call me a hater but... Those sides hang lower than the bumper and that looks like crap IMHO.

Mario's set up was one of the nicest I've seen with the V1 front end.

Well, all these weeks later and the JDM side skirt deal fell through. I just ordered the Greddy's for a Monday delivery. So now I'll have the Aerosync front bumper, Greddy side skirts and the stock rear bumper. I'm thinking I'll need to go with a rear diffuser to bring the rear bumper down to match the other new stuff.

Gatorman,
Who'd you order your N2 side skirts thru? I ordered a set of Shine N2 sideskirts and rear addons thru one of the vendors here. Ordered around the same time as you (end of January). Still waiting ... 5 weeks later! Shine doesn't answer the phone, doesn't respond to email and doesn't seem to give the vendor any info either. I'm thinking these Shine parts aren't gonna work out for me either.
