I think those side skirts look decent.....surprising from Andy's Auto Sport!!!!! Most of the body accessories look a bit too over the top but i would even put those side skirts on my 5th gen.

Don't buy from Andy's Auto Sport. A bunch of my friends have had serious issues with them.

As far as those skirts, they don't look bad, but what are they made of? Research what "DuraFlex" is. If it's anything fiberglass based, don't get it. Fiberglass is not very good when it comes to surviving the elements. Ever seen a riced out car with that worn-out looking fiberglass body kit?

got my muffler from andysautosport, no problems. as for duraflex, i watched the vid on the extreme dimensions page. looks pretty flexible, and durable (waka waka). it IS fiberglass based, but the way the handle it in the video makes it look like a step below urethane.

I mean, if they did good by you, by all means, your call.

I've just been kinda wary after one of my friends got screwed out of about $200...

I haven't really heard anything bad about DuraFlex. But then again, I've never heard anything good about it, either. I don't see why with the proper maintenance it wouldn't be okay, but I'd imagine anything fiberglass-based is going to need a bit more upkeep than the average plastic body parts.

i would not suggest buying from AAS, although i have never ordered anything from them i have heard quite a few horror stories about them.... mostly the body panels that were shipped required a LOT of work to be able to use.... (e.x.e. Bumper being too narrow, rear bumpers being uneven).


those skirts don't look all that bad, but just a caution that if you do order them, be ready to put some work on them before being able to mount them up.

A little off topic but as a new owner of a maxima it's good to find out about such places as AAS and their reputations.

I would buy these. They look decent. Test fit them before paint. See how they do. I may get these too. They look better than the Stillen.

I'm not much of a fan of the stillen front/rear lips in the first place... but I suppose those side skirts are about as clean as aftermarket body augmentation gets...

There you said it, Fiberglass based. I wouldnt get it. Whats wrong with 02-03 Sides or Stillen Sides?

Good to know about AAS, though they have been around a decade now they have to be doing something right.
