Need help with choosing sideskirts.

i love the way the kombat sideskirts look, but i also prefer the quality of the urethane sideskirts by stillen. Can someone tell me if getting the fiberglass sideskirts would be worth the risk of breaking.

Thanks for the input

I've got the progress drop. Even though it's a little stiff its a nice drop for adding a kit.

Did you cut off 1 coil from the eibachs? Let me kno what the difference with the tein's are. If its lower (front/back) and how it feels, cut eibachs are stiff...


BTW for those who have a kit and your lowered a lot like me... good luck getting your car on a lift, or jacking the car up by yourself

i dont really have that many clearance problems with the kit, you just have to kno how to go up and down drive ways.

Its just hard to get your car on a lift, unless you have boards and stuff

To Jack all you do is nail/screw a 14" 2x12 to a 24" 2x10 this acts as a ramp to drive up on with no clearence prob's then your 3" higher. Not to hijack but does anyone have custommaxima sides on a fifth gen?

I don't have problems with the side skirts...the thing i have trouble with is scraping the front end off the ground
Becuase were i live there are a lot of hills and the driveways are hard to get into so i have to go in at an angel.
That sucks
I scraped my front end about 3 times and it ****sssssses me off

i had a clearance problem yesterday!

i was driving to manhatten. i was on the left lane, and there was a town car pacing me on my right sorta, there was an altima infront of me who all of a sudden swerved outta the left lane, i look infront of me and i see a FULL tire (without the rim) layin right in the freakin middle of my lane.

i brake hard, then try to dip behind the town car, but NOOOOOO the freakin town car had to brake WITH ME! WTF is that?! i HATE people who do that...

After my car hit the tire, i guess my lip was like a shovel and pushed it... it ended up in the middle lane when i looked back

i thought it might have been torn off, but it turns out i just need to repaint the damn thing AGAIN...
