Does the 00-03 Stillen side skirt fit the I30/35?

I don't see why not, anyone know for sure? $160/side for urethane is a good deal IMO.

It's something I've often wondered. If you could measure the wheelbase on a 5th gen vs. on an A33 I30/I35 you could probably figure it out largely that way. If the lengths are the same then it would probably be nothing more than a stick/screw on affair.

I am 90% sure it should, given our doors are even the same.

I would think so, but I'm not entirely sure that the doors are 100% identical, as the indentation in our doors for the door-side molding seems to be shaped differently. That and I'd be wary of the rear fender, where it goes to the bottom of the car, because of how it flares on the max but not on the I.

You can sort of see the difference in the doors here:

Did you guys ever find out for sure? I'm looking for some sideskirts at the moment. Are there any comparable sideskirts for this price available?

Ionic or OEM

Edit: I called Stillen, theirs do not fit.

I've heard they'll fit with some major modification to the skirts.
This guy on nycmaximas tried and couldn't do it.

Since I originally wanted an I30t mostly for the looks I think I will be adding side sills to my I35. I was searching for some aftermarket sills and found these...

http://www.evolution.co.jp/signature/cefiro_a33/

But since shipping would be too much from Japan I found this...

http://www.ionicdynamics.com/I35KIT2.html

Which looks like a good price, shipping included. The whole kit is pretty cheap too, so I might go that route. This kit says I30/I35 so it is probably universal fit.

Let me know what you do.

The I30 and I35 have identical sheetmetal.

Has anyone from this thread added aftermarket sills? I am still contemplating the ionic, but I much prefer the look of the OEM sills.

If you have added sills let us know what you payed and where you got them.

Awesome...were they the color you needed or will you have them painted? BTW, I assume you're still referring to sideskirts, right?
