thanks yes the INGS would be my first choice but i was quoted $776 + shipping for them in CF, and i would bet that shipping is from japan so forget that!

i am sure that they are worth it in fit and quality but they arent worth that much to me, there are far too many other things to buy in my life for $1000 that i dont see myself getting around to some side blades for the Z at that price lol

Wow OP, good observation!

with my 275s up front and somewhat aggressive offset, the lower half of my side skirts looks practically sand blasted. i have to get them repainted but not until i find a way to protect them better.

you can buy some thicker clearbra material for pickup truck beds and should work fine. i have like a 4" wide strip running down along the rockers. bought from amazon for like $40. :) i would do the same if i get the Ings sides.

yah, they are expensive and questions if it's really worth it or not. at the end it will be worth it, but then you will be searching for something to finish the rear bumper sides. lol :icon17: this is why i haven't done them yet.

if there was a nice wide rear diffuser piece i would do it...

^^ i agree that its not so much that its a bad deal, its just that its not worth it to me. its not a major enough addition to be worthy of the cost, especially as someone who is more dedicated to horsepower and performance, there are so many other upgrades in that price range that i cant imagine ever getting around to side blades at that cost.

i have a front lip that i am happy enough with, with the side blades, i would also need a rear diffuser of some sort. i am positive that one will pop up that i like between now and spring time.. and if not, i will just take it into my own hands... in that case I would cut off the section of the bumper between the tail pipes, the part that everyone paints or vinyls matte black or sticks on a "diffuser".. and then i would first try the same diffuser as my 350z and if i cant make that one work maybe try the one on my friends RX7, eventually ill figure one out.

yah, i was thinking too maybe make a diffuser looking thing out of balsa wood and just glue it on there. ;) actually send it off to CF elements and have them wrap it. :yum:

ive not got the urge to go that far yet but with 3 months of hibernation, never know. :D
