They don't sit lower. I don't have any good pics of mine right now. Here are plenty of pictures... https://my350z.com/forum/body-exteri...-aero-kit.html

they do sit lower...all the pics posted in the link above show it. If you notice, most people will install a front diffuser to compensate the difference.

To be honest with you, I'm pretty sure they don't. It's just that the bumper appears to rise a little in the front. I'll measure again when I walk outside today and post up.

I just got back from measuring. As I stated before, they do NOT sit lower. The lowest point of the sideskirt (where it meets the front fender) sits at the exact same height as the corner of the front bumper. No difference what so ever. The skirts actually taper higher on the sides from the lowest point as well. Hope that clears things up.

lol....you actually checked...oh well, to each his own. Mathematically yes, but visually, sometimes not. I guess it really depends on how the fitment goes or how picture angles are taken.

Joe- Good find man, thanks for clearing things up. Why haven't we seen your car at our meets?

Chad - Good luck with the kit bro.

Yeah. I originally measured a before and after type of thing and thought that the front and sides were the same height. I just figured I'd double check since the pictures do seem to be a little deceiving.

More importantly, I really need to start making it out to some of the meets. I went to one meet at Kakaako Park in August when my car was completely stock, but haven't been out since. Thursdays just tend to be hard for me because I have to be at work early on Fridays. The weekends are always good for me though. Have to let me know when the next meet is and I'll come.

That would be great. I'll just have to watch for the meet details. Maybe I'll even have some rims by then too... haha I'll have to drag my girlfriend along too if she isn't on a shoot to snap some pictures too.
