I heard someone say that the Greddy side skirts weren't functional but i've read on some websites that they were.

Could someone please further explain this.

Thanks!

I would say that it is with regards to the intake scoop at the rear of the skirt.

That intake is not functional, but perhaps it could be made to be a functional intake by venting air to the rear discs. I think this would be a waste of time since the front discs bear most of the braking friction and heat, but its better than someone asking you what 'those' intakes do and you shrugging your shoulders looking sheepish!

Doubtful that they are functonal aerodynamically either.

 

Thanks man. yeah, these websites were saying how it performs and does all thios stuff but I had my doubts as well.

What side skirts look similar to the Greddy but are "functional" that you know of?

For the Z, probably none!

 

Vizages are "functional". That is, they have real vents.

 

i think the entire kit from greddy is pretty much for looks. If the kit were really performance oriented they would have made in lighter weight material, such as FRP.

 

Yes.... Real vents that do absolutely nothing. Hence non functional.

The bumper vents might cool, but the rest are for show.

 

Vehicle Weight is a huge factor, ecspecioly with me.

Alot of sites do alot of advertising but say nothing about the different functions and weights of the kits. Alot look cool but ecspecioly depending on parts, etc. I would like to know what they do and how much they weigh.

Any websites that you all could possibly give me.

Also on material: I hate the kind that flaps in the wind yet want something light and not easy to chip/break. What are some good materials. Hell, I could get a bodykit made that looks like the one I want customized lighter but i'm not sure how much all that costs.
Thanks!
