Hi, this is my first post in this forum, but I hope people have had experience with these side skirts. Has anyone heard or bought some of these side skirts? I'm looking for some nismo style side skirts and these came up, but im worried about fitment issues.. Also, if there are any other better ones, please suggest it, I really need some new nismo skirts. Looking for replica, kind of a on a budget.. Thanks in advance, here is the ABS skirts.

What worries me from your post is,"kind of on a budget".
Its good to get the best deal.But,a set of skirts for 120 bucks
(add shipping),I'd be worried about the fit.Most of these deals say,
"professional installation suggested".This means if they are too short,
have a bulge--whatever,they can be cut and filled in.
I'd spend a bit more and buy some skirts from a vendor that is
known for fit.Shine makes good fitting stuff.Check out their website.
Also,check the marketplace.There are usually skirts for sale.

 

If your on that much of a budget, just use your stock skirts.

 

In reference to the fitment, I couldn't tell you.

BUT, one thing that gets under my skin sometimes on here is if you say you are on a budget you immediately get ripped apart.

Everyone is on a budget, if they weren't we would all be driving GTR's Ferrari's or whatever we wanted. I like finer things and such and have good income, but I'm on a budget as well and will always be.

Fact is if we weren't all on a budget we wouldn't be on here and driving a 350Z!!

I love my Z as well as my other cars, guns and toys. But in reality were not Bill Gates and a budget is always going to be present.

With that said I like a good deal if its good quality, if not, my budget waits till it saved enough to buy what is best.

Sorry for venting but I just see this a lot, and in reality were all on a budget. Now if you expect to buy a knockoff for 100 bux when the original is 3000, you're probably gonna be disappointed, but in some cases a replica is as good, and like exhausts, you can buy a lot of the 300.00 HKS copies for what a real one costs, some things you can cut corners on others you cant.

Again, sorry for the rant.

 

ABS dynamics parts are very legit. I have personally seen their doluck kit installed on a local car and it is very decent. I can im agine the side skirts are similar. I cant say perfect as i did not see how it was mounted, ie tab position, wuality etc.. but the finished product was totally fine.. not like the crap shoot you get w most other companies. Shine Auto project is also very good, but they do also run a bit more $.

These are in fact one of your BEST options for budget parts. They are very flexible even when cured and cool... therefore they come off the molds far better than fiberglass, thats where you get the weird bends and what not....and the fitment issues will be vastly lessened.

 

as for the rant post lol.. when people are on a budget and buy junk, and actually down grade thier car, we will always flame.. (you may have the one post/scenario where that may not be the case).. but as for our general flaming.. it will continue as long as people put "improved" or "tuning" parts on thier cars that are far less pretty/effective/safe/well performing than the car would have been by itself, stock as the day is long.
I never pay full price for ANYTHING i buy.. so I certainly budget hunt.. but... i also wont add anything to my car that was created w less integrity of design and function than any original component.
We flame when someone buys wheels jsut to say they bought different wheels, but are narrower than the OEM, sit incorrectly, or are a downgrade.


solid analogy:

can you make a decent soup w crap ingredients? meh. maybe.. if thats all youhave, sure.. go for it.. but ....why do that when you started out w a very decent soup as it is?.. leave it alone if all you can get it junk ingredients..
BUT.. if you can afford some key stuff to throw in there.. certainly do so.. jsut as long as youre not throwing horrible combinations together..

With that in mind, you can in fact spend a TON of money and ruin your car as well, with the very same process...

Solid analogy #2:

a bottle of Johnnie walker blue... organic free range Spanish fois gras..beluga caviar.. and 35 year old aged Muenster cheese are all awesome ....alone.. but they taste like sh#t if you put them in a bucket and serve chilled lol.. see my point?

anyways. you got ur answer for the flaming, and also for your skirts.... they are cheap but not total crap, they are on par w OEM quality side skirts... buy them, prep and paint them properly, and be happy.

 

RANT??..LOL
More like a thesis...
My take>>>>> shop around and get the knock offs if you want to save $$ and you're not a BALLER. Most knock offs are decent...may require a tad more work..no biggie. Period end of story

 

I used to be all about name brand/authentic (when this forum was filled with mostly first owners) but as the value of my car depreciated, I just can't justify buying the real deal anymore. It's $,$$$ mad jdm authentic vs $$$ replica.
