To dip or not to dip side skirts

xnismo370zx · 07-25-2012, 09:37 PM

I am thinking of dipping my side skirts on my z. Here is a picture how it looks now. I would only dip a line not the whole side skirt to even it out with the lip to make it look a little different. Opinions

It could look good, but you'll def want to use a glossifier due to the glossy lip. In for pics!

Since this is truly a matter of taste, I think it's best to dip the entire skirt. Follow it up with dipping the rear valence along with buying black spats so you have a black outline 360 around your Z.

At 20+ ft away it will look like your car is raised.

yah, im with DR on this one. i think better if you get the CF side pieces from Ings or EvoR.

Since it has zero function or benefit, the only thing left is styling which is only personal taste.

i suppose the plasti-dip could protect the rockers from rock kick up chips?

Just dip the tip.

personally, i'd leave them be, or replace with CF. If they are blacked out, like someone else said, it makes the car looked "lifted" from far away.

here's the evor's side pieces... i mentioned above. if you can source them from the Z-Store, then

EVO-R INC. Nissan 370Z Z34 Side Skirts Diffuser

ings+ also has a similar one that you can get from ztune.

cool. in that case you can just get the FPR one for 319 or something instead. no need to get CF.
