Options for side skirts?
As most of you guys know..I got into a car accident here...
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=458601
So just out of curiosity...What options do I have for side skirts? I thought ABS made one for our cars but it doesn't list it on their website? Stillen is kinda out of the picture since it's so expensive...Sarona looks kinda too aggressive but I will consider....where is a good place to buy Sarona sides? I have the 2k2 stock sides and I think I might needa step up the look if I'm going to get a new front lip...

looks very hawt.....those are EVO5 skirts correct?
definitely sweet looking....But I don't think I'd actually get it u know? It looks like he loses major ground clearance with those huge sides...anybody know of a stillen knock off sides or rear? well I know the rear, ABS makes it...but what about sides? I don't want something too aggressive....

If you get the octane skirts, you have to get the MT lip because the octane skirts drop very low (the octane bumper is the lowest bumper I think). You can pick it up in rosemead for $150 since that is what I did. JTautostyle, talk to Mike.
You are right also about the ground clearance, I scrape my skirts sometimes but it isn't too bad, unless the speed bumps are huge. I have about two inches ground clearance at the lowest point in the front area of the side skirts now that I am on D2's.

Hey!!!! I finally I might be able to help you and return a couple of owed favours! ABS Dynamics are currently working on fabricating a set of Stillen Knock off sideskirts due out sometime in early summer. I got my rear from a dealer of theirs probably close to you! Talk to Alvin or James @ 01 Aftermarket Connect, 909-595-4798, 20450 Yellow Brick Road, Unit 7B Walnut, Cali, 91789, tell them " you know my name, same as yours" from the Maxima.org ref'd you I'm sure they hook you up, they gave me a great deal on my rear valance.
Regarding the Sarona sides, I got my 4th gen ones from these guys : Justin @ Octane MotorSports

Gotta say they looked great with the little mesh insert on my 4th gen, IMO they should offer it on the 5th gen (thinking of doing it to my current Stillen 5th gen ones) but the fiberglass squeeked a little when cold, but in Cali probably not a problem LOL

I got my Stillen sides from redlinemax.com year end clearout for $320 shipped, I think this was the only set though. Sorry no pics as yet I haven't got it all painted and installed yet with the MT lip, also painting my grill to match and working up the nerve to open my headlights to do clear lense and paint conversion.
Hope this helps a little, good luck!
PS As per our conversation, got the car back from stealership said they couldn't find anything and so far no miss???? Still want the coils though a deals a deal. And thanks for the great price!
Gotta say Steven88 is one of the best people I've met on this forum, he'll bend over backwards to help out a fellow org'r! He pretty much talked himself out of a sale to help me out...... I bought em anyway.
