I ordered a cf rear diffuser last week and this am I found a shipping notice from Evo-R. Part on the way. Can't wait to see it in place.
Thanks for the update Evo-R:tiphat:

That's good to know. Hopefully, he starts doing that with all of his customers.

Not so sure about that Amuse kit. None of the seams on the skirts or rear bumper line up too great in that picture on the previous page.

I'm not a fan of the Nismo. Lacks any charisma!! Looks boring and non functional and really does not match the natural curves of the car! The EVO product looks like what it is, a flat piece bolted to the stock rocker. I like the skirt to look like it came that way from the factory.

i agree.

That's because they applied a few photo effects that distort the image. I've seen both of the Amuse cars in person, and the gaps are very even. If you don't believe me, just as Phelan, he's got the kit on his car ;)

Do the Evo-R sideskrits fit the nismo sideskirts as well ?

kielbasa16 02-25-2011 11:39 AM

Does anybody have pictures of the Stillen side skirts installed aside from the one on Page 3? If I can be convinced fitment wont be an issue I think Ill be ordering, but would love some more shots.

I just ordered EVO-R's side skirt and rear diffuser. I should probably call it a side blade as it mounts under the stock side skirts. I like the look and the fact that in flat black both pieces will match my flat black rear wing, front splitter and canards. I had Stillen's side skirts but they DID NOT FIT my vert. I still have not seen anybody post that they have had them fit on a vert. Thanks Jay for returning my e-mail due to an incorrect shipping addy on my pay pal.:ughdance:

Just keep them and get some Shine Auto rear add ons, it will look good. Then get something for the front, maybe even a Nismo front bumper when the time is right. (too many rock chips, damage, etc)

NewYorkJon34 02-26-2011 03:32 PM

For anyone interested in the real nismo sides, I got them for sale, $480 shipped

KaienZ34 02-26-2011 07:09 PM

Zele IMO look the best, but as i've already got the CF Amuse kit minus the wing (come on rick with that VIII wing). I'm thinking of using the Amuse skirts with the CF EVO-R side blades, on an angle with little to none showing in the front and coming out more and more as it goes to the back. What does everyone think of this ??

Fire 02-26-2011 07:36 PM

Kaien, I don't think it would be possible. If you look at the 3/4side view on page 3 from kellyefields you will see a body line just to the rear of the door. I'll be able to tell you for sure once mine (EVO-R) comes in and I can line it up on the body.

KaienZ34 02-26-2011 07:39 PM

Thanks fire i look forward to seeing the pics. Do you have the amuse sides already on ? I've seen the evo-r blades on the angle like i'm talking about on stock sides. I'll see if i can find a pic of it.

KaienZ34 02-26-2011 08:33 PM

Ok so this is not evo-r blades but the ones VIP sells, but i think that they are pretty much the same.

kellyefields 02-26-2011 08:43 PM

From looking at these pics and having the amuse sides on I think it would give you a little lip but not much since the amuse pretty much comes straight down from the door, etc. also I have found that with the amuse sides I find myself sometimes catching the lower edge with my foot when getting out since it is straighter than the original so for those getting these you may want to use caution when exiting the vehicle.

KaienZ34 02-26-2011 08:49 PM

Thanks for the info, are you lowered and if so on what and how low. I'm still at stock height/suspension it's just a little lower than stock due to the 20inch rims with smaller side wall tires.

Fire 02-26-2011 10:06 PM

I've got stock sides. As stated before I recieved stillen sides but they didn't fit. Has anyone seen any aftermarket sides on a vert? I think that there is a differance just behind the door, maybe some reinforcement for the vert. This might make any sides that replace stock ones hard to fit unless it is taken into account. I'm lowered on Eibachs a little over an inch I think. I have to measure to be sure. I'm not worried about blades on my car as I used to own a 69 Vette with 4" side pipes. Talk about something you have to watch as you get out. Insant 2nd degree burns to unprotected skin.

I am still at stock height. Looking to get a set of springs and a set of spacers. I need 15mm bad on the front and back.

LunaZ 02-27-2011 07:53 AM

Here's my opinion: (free with purchase of a**hole :icon17: )

It really depends on the overall look you're trying to achieve with the car.
By themselves, the Zele skirts get my vote for the right blend of aggressive and sleek. The EVO-R skirts are great if you want your car to have the look of a carbon fiber undertray. I don't think the Amuse would work unless you did the rest of the kit. I hate fake holes, so the IMPUL is a no.
The Stillen piece is nice, too. The Nismo pieces are a good choice if you want a factory-tuned look.

kevr6 02-27-2011 08:01 AM

I believe those are Supra side blades made to fit. Someone else posted that info when VIP first put those on their car over a year ago or so. :driving:

KaienZ34 02-27-2011 08:07 AM

Yeah these are the side blades from rick at VIP. I do have the full Amuse CF kit minus the wing, and was thinking it would be hot to add the CF side blades with it and the CF side mirrors and B-pillars.

EVOR 02-28-2011 08:34 AM

Yea, the VIP one are from FEED for Mazda RX-7. Very popular sides for RX-7.

A.J@CarbonSignal 02-28-2011 09:55 AM

I really like the look of both the Amuse and Nismo sides. As said before though, you need to decide what front and rear your car is going to have so you can compliment it with the sides. Mixing and matching kits is not easy.

Fire 03-11-2011 10:57 PM

Got my EVO-R rear diffuser and side skirts (blades). Due to limited room in my garage and crappy NY weather I wasn't able check fitment of the blades but the diffuser looks good. Is there a DIY on the sides and diffuser? Thanks EVO for your products.:tiphat:

Just got my sides on yesterday. Even though they look stuck out, when you look straight down from over the door they are even with the door. Here's a couple pics, including the rear diffuser and fron splitter and canards. I'm very happy. :tup:

KaienZ34 03-18-2011 11:42 AM

Just me, but i'm not digging the canards.

98intrigue 03-18-2011 12:36 PM

Well, I'm not digging you.

EVOR 03-18-2011 12:42 PM

Wow nice. First install on the roadster! Great job.

SPOHN 03-18-2011 12:48 PM

Varis makes the best side skirts IMHO.

Thank you EVO-R I'm likin your parts. Since I took these pics I modified the sport trim pieces that mounted in the front wheel well. They look good with the blades. It only took a couple of minutes to remove most of the extra plastic. Sorry for the dirt, the whole car needs a bath. Here are the pics.
