Evo-R side blades

robones · 08-28-2012, 11:49 AM

Thank you for posting the comparison pictures. I personally love the blades with the front splash guards installed which is how i want for it to look like. I am purchasing them and I hope the material is easy to work with because I WILL find a way to make it work.

Are the blades hollow? If you cut and shave a portion off it would it be solid or show the hollow parts?

cheshirecat · 08-28-2012, 02:54 PM

They're not hollow- they're just one piece of plastic that's kind of reinforced in certain places across the length of the skirt.

If you cut it in half, you would just see a piece of plastic about 1/4'' thick shaped kind of like /''''''''\

fancy illustration huh

Haha! Cool! Thanks for the update.

Got my sideblades installed today.. and nope they do not fit at all with the mudflaps unless you have the rear of the sideblade sticking out a bit :/ Sucks I was looking forward to keeping my mudflaps..

Makes me feel like it's so plain without them now lol

robones · 08-30-2012, 10:10 AM

Haha! Your car looks good with them on regarless but yes, there is just something nice about having the front splash guards installed with the blades on. I will try to find a solution to it and I will find a way.

Or you could have gone with the Ings+1 side blades which has kind of that look to it. I don't know why more people don't get these...

cheshirecat · 08-30-2012, 11:57 AM

Those are some great looking side blades for sure.

robones · 08-30-2012, 12:14 PM

Yup they are nice indeed but you will have to cough up a good amount of money for them as they are a direct buy from Japan. Evo-r is the economical route if you want to go with just blades.

For the amount of money the Ings blades costs you might as well get yourself a whole new side skirt. Not worth the cost to me.

.c2 · 08-30-2012, 08:07 PM

INGs isnt' the kind of look I was looking for, I do love my Evo R sideblades regardless but dissapointed that the mudguards won't fit haha. Especially since most of the Z's in my area don't have mudguards, it was kind of special having them. I googled it yesterday and the guy with the blue Z had a different brand of sideblades that aren't from Evo R. Can't find the thread anymore but I bet you if you look hard enough on google you can find the thread and the brand he was talking about

But is Aerojacket still a valid member? There were many bad comments made about this vendor in these forums. Having said that, it does not leave many choices out there. I had previously looked for the Aerojacket blades but with so many negative comments made, it made me look other way.

Yeah, I don't know what the deal is with them either. There was the whole falling out over orders not being shipped, then they were delisted, now they're back and things seem ok? not sure.

Is it possible to trim the side blade or the mud flap? Can the bottom part the flap be cut off? Can the side blades be taken to a band saw and have an inch or so cut off before they are painted? Would that do it?... Def want blades when I get my Z and flaps.

yeah- the blades are just thin fiberglass.

For those that have the EVOR blades, are they fairly 'floppy'? I mounted mine with the screws + half a dozen short pieces of 3M automotive tape and if feels like I could just tear them off by hand-and it wouldn't take that much. Anyone do it differently? The 5 screws just go into that 1/16" thick skirt and it feels like the screws will just work themselves out.
