NEWLEXGUY: I like my red RC with the way too expensive Infrared paint, but I must say that the all black one you have looks very, very nice.
Happy Motoring.

Are those fake carbon side skirt extensions?

I actually am doing some subtle interior mods first. Getting an escort 360 radar detector and m1 dash cam hardwired this weekend. Then likely powdercoat the rims, paint the calipers and chrome delete.

Technically my first mod was tint ha ha

baggedRC, you inquiring about my side Side skirts? They are imitation looking CF winglet skirts, but they are made out of ABS and are pretty firm. I think they look ok, and I'm not gonna spend a few hundred for them. I did spend the money on the front lip tho... they are real CF. Just like the rear fins on my diffuser, I think they look good and they weren't a ton of money for the appearance.

Yes that from lip is fire, I’m not sure why you would spend the money on the front and rear but not the sides? The place were it will take the most impact is the front. I would not spend the money on the front as their is always a chance it will get damaged. But it’s your car and overall it looks nice.

baggedRC, I made sure the front lip is not any lower than the original front bumper, as I have busted plenty of them on my 350Z in the old days. But I saw that this lip is split and is will not rub on my driveway and will not hit a parking block so I will take a chance.

I might change my mind about the sides, but for now they are just a cosmetic thing.
