Best Looking side skirts (Opinions needed)

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.

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

)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fire · 03-18-2011, 01:56 PM

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.
