Too much money to put in to narrow that big of a gap. How about using U channel or U mold trim. They make white ones for boats. Just an idea. For the fenders, try foam sheet to shim it outward when you screw them back in.

Nope, this is how they look fully installed. Granted the double sided 3m tape may not have been enough or thick enough on the top. But even when it's pushed into place, you can feel it trying to stretch from the rear part and it can't because it's FRP.

I'm going to try a thicker tape next week. I also don't know if the passenger side was damaged when taken off by the previous owner.

Good morning everyone!

Sad because I'm currently in the process of trying to sell my Z...

Happy because it's replaced by a GT-R:driving:

:tiphat: Those U channels I suggested are discrete (white) and work great to clear gaps. They are used on boats so it is perfect for door jambs. It is rare for FRP Skirts to have perfect, OEM quality fit so creativity goes a long way. Yes not too creative to the point caulking is used - that's just weird. No carpenters allowed in the body shop.

I parked at a different building today for work, 9 out of ten people walking by my Z now are suffering with chronic neck problems. Today also marks the first day driving my precious Z in four days due to horrible rain and thunder storms.

Installed Z1 post-maf tubes and AFE filters. Is it just me or were those a paint in the arse to wedge into place?

Worth it though!

Yup, had to whip out a butter knife to shimmy it into place.

I am assuming they are after market skirts?

Took her to the park for our daily workout.

Installed hotchkis sway bars and mounted AG M310 in gloss brushed antique bronze. Also, removed the exhaust.

Tomorrow, I battle the demon bolt and install my ART pipes and invidia cbe. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly
