hey brian..nice sig..haha

side skirts...hmm....If you have money to burn, aftermarket can be on your list....stillen gets my vote...ionno if other companies even make side skirts for our cars...to me the stock 2k2's do great...no need to really upgrade

for the rear valence....maybe try out the AE?

I hear the AE kit consists of 3 pieces....I'm sure you can buy just the two sides from the dealership and call it a day....

^^ that gets a second vote. the OEM sides don't drop as far I think or flow perfectly, however it does work to it's own degree. i would stick with the oem sides if i didn't have the extra money, but would save up for the stillen.



edit.....third vote

I have stillen sides and the ABS rear, love them both. The ABS rear was bolt on and fit pretty well. It's plastic but was a bit cheaper than stillen.

I am running 245/40/18. The front tires are flush with the fender and the rear is slightly tucked.

I purchased it this past summer for $100 shipped. I had a Nissan dealership paint it and installed the rear lip myself. The installation was bolt-on, but I did put 3M double-sided tape all around the lip and bolted it on inside the wheel wells.

The stillen rear is the most popular. I am bringing mine to get painted and put on tomorrow, its a sexy piece, worthwhile mod for any max. Completes the look with class, nothing ridiculous.

yeah the ABS is the stillen knock off.....different materials used...pricing is nearly 50% difference....fitment doesn't seem to be a problem either
