Basically, I've seen some I30's with Skyline side skirts, Stillen side skirts? Basically any A32 Maxima side skirts will fit out A32 I30 side.

Did you see the photos of the Cefiro OEM "mini-skirts" under that same thread? Here are the photos again:

I was going to sell only the front 3-piece lips and trunk VIP wings (NOT the M3/M5 style one's).... and the buyers can source the side skirts off any other company. The side skirts that I will package along with this front lip and trunk VIP wings are the Mini-Skirts off teh Cefiro like this below:

MINI-SKIRTS---> Do you even notice the difference from the stock?

I was thinking that the one part of our cars that probably isn't changed from the Maxima is where our side skirts would be. That leads me to believe that we might be able to use the Stillen or other side skirts....anyone have an idea?

I'd for sure want skirts and would maybe look into the paradox rear or one of the imported ones if I got a front lip. Cars with just the front always look a little funny to me.

Honestly.. The Paradox rear skirts doesn't look that great UNLESS you bundle it onto the rear bumper... I'd go with JDM Cefiro rear bumper.. which is slightly lowered than the USDM rear bumper.

And that means trunk swap too right? Then it gets spendy... Got some $'s?

i dont think you need a whole trunk.. cuase the rear lights and licence plate part look like it fits where the glass oblique infiniti sign and all is on the i30... like that big once piece taillight.. looks like theres just another version of the center piece...

toomuch to make new trunk for that car...

if you get the rear bumper without the trunk, where do you intend to mount the plate?

We are guessing you remove the middle part of the existing trunk and replace it with a piece that fits the plate.

..... hmm posting at that time i realized i wasnt clear... let me attemp this again...

the license holder and the two inner taillights seem to be 1 or 3 pieces that would fit where out cars center oblique light would fit.. meaning if you get the center piece... we can put it where out cars center tail light is.... folloW?

then obviously we would need another bumper cause other wise we woould have two plat holders.... or you can cover and mold the bumper holder closed...


hmm and i notice those bumpers have reverse sensors on them... dammit man... we miss out on so much.....

So has anybody installed Maxima sideskirts on their A32 I30? It seems like it should fit, but I could be wrong.
