You gotta do the time if you wanna do the crime bro...

I'm about to install Nismo side skirts (not s-tune) on my base 370z and was wondering what y'all thought of them. I have not gotten them painted yet, I just wanted an opinion on them if you think they would look right or if there was a better looking side skirt. The one plus is that the sides are functional.

OK finally got the front fascia installed. Was not too bad. The lower spash shield can easily be used, you only have to drill 4 holes into the Nismo diffuser so it can attach to the OEM splash shield, and two more screws line up with the diffuser holding it in place. Doesn't need to be hacked or streched or anything. Lines up like factory. The only issue is the corners, where there is a small opening. There are two tabs that are not used to secure to the diffuser but it's no big deal. Another thing I found is the wheel well liners are different and don't fit perfectly with the "protectors" (the little plastic pieces that cover up the gaps. The liners just overlap a little and are fine. Not sure I want to bother getting the Nismo liners. I'll post up a pic this weekend. Nismo rear bumper getting painted now, hope to have it installed in a few weeks along with the side skirts.

All your missing is the nismo wing.

NewYorkJon34 · 03-25-2011, 12:19 AM

The front looks soo much bigger than the rest of the car, get the side skirts at least so it looks more natural

Mr&Mrs · 03-25-2011, 12:22 AM

I think a larger wing would make it look proportioned the skirts look fine to me.

Jamaica · 03-25-2011, 12:36 AM

side skirt it does need. Im diggin the wheels

Jordo! · 03-25-2011, 05:08 AM

The wheels are beautiful... now Ireally want a set.

Is the price listed on the Z1 site for the Nismo wing correct??? Does it (or any of the body parts) at least come painted?

NewYorkJon34 · 03-25-2011, 08:18 AM

None of them come painted my friend, if they did it would be more money, the paint may not match 100% to your car, and it might be damaged during shipping. I believe they come primed ready to be painted tho.

Well I think the rear Nismo bumper is a little larger so it will help with the look. Sides skirts are minumal. Rear wing will help a lot too.

EDIT: the nismo bumper to list of rear bumpers to choose from...
