From the EXCEPTIONALLY long post, I sure you can easily see that I am a newbie here to this forum (as of about 3 weeks so)! Anyhow, I am selling both left and right Side Skirts (aka: Side Sills) from my 2011 Solid Red Coupe, which has been garaged, and is in immaculate shape with only 8,000 miles on it! The reason why is because I decided last month to upgrade to the Nismo package and I have done my best to do so thus far - after installing a Nismo Cold Air Intake, the Nismo "aerodynamic body package," (consisting of the front spoiler, a front lip spoiler, a back spoiler, 2 back under spoilers, and side skirts) which I am sure most of you already know
. In addition, I have added Nismo floor mats, Nismo door inserts, and a Nismo gear shift knob. All that's (technically) left to do is get a set of 19" Nismo Rays, Nismo brakes/pads/calipers, Nismo body dampers and strut brace, and lastly, an H-Pipe Nismo dual exhaust. 3 of which, I'm getting this week. All in all, I've already dumped in an extra $5200 and to the best of my knowledge, I'm about 80% of the way there... or as close as I will ever come to building/modifying my own Nismo Z. Does that sound about right?
Anyhow, enough of that. As I was saying, the only parts that have actually been taken off the car and replaced, are the side skirts. Everything else (exterior wise that is) is an add-on. Therefore, I have (2) - I'd say, nearly mint, stock side skirts that do not have any scratches, scuffs, dents or any structural damage to/on them whatsoever! In addition, even though all the mounts are all still intact and the mounting hardware is still in perfect shape - I'm more than willing to replace them with brand new ones to anyone who is interested in purchasing them! And as long as you live here in the states, I'd be willing to ship them for free too!
In order to get a ballpark figure of what these go for, in both new and used condition, I did a bit of research prior to posting this - something of which, I encourage you also to do the same. And I did not find any place that sold them for cheaper than did CourtesyAutoParts.com who were asking $600+ for a set - UNPAINTED! To be honest: If you have $600 to throw around, why not save yourself some cash and just purchase a brand new set of Nismo side skirts for practically the same price? But the point of the matter is that I am not asking $800, nor am I $600. As these parts, despite their excellent condition, simply are not new. Oh, and I forgot to mention that the prices listed above DID NOT include shipping!
On the other end, I have seen a couple used ones online advertised on eBay and other sites at around $250-350 for both. However, in both cases, the parts they were selling were nowhere close in comparison to the quality or condition of mine. For example, on eBay, I did manage to find one left side side skirt that was Solid Red which came off of a 2009 Z and was selling for $130 (Well, actually - $165 if you include shipping). However, even according to the seller, the part "MAY SHOW SIGNS OF IMPERFECTION WHICH INCLUDE SURFACE SCRATCHES AND SCUFF MARKS" and "BY NO MEANS IS [IT] NEW." This is clearly evident in the pictures he added, which reveal not only a heavily faded product in color, but also contained very unsightly scratches; a few of which were 3-5" long! Maybe that's why he stresses the no-return policy and advises his potential buyers to "VIEW ALL THE PICTURES FIRST" before committing to buy?

So, to wrap this long-winded "sales pitch" up, if you are in the market for a pair of used (nearly-mint) Solid-Red Side Skirts from a 2011 Coupe (which I believe fits all years, yet please correct me if I am wrong) then please shoot me a response and hopefully we can work something out that will suit the both of us. Oh, and feel free to request as many pics as you'd like me to take of them! You can even go as far as requesting me to take them at specific angles - if you'd like! Whatever it is that helps make your decision easier is cool with me!
