Side steps vs side skirts


Recommended Posts

Posted

Right as some of you may or may not know iv had the side skirts sitting in the garage a while now, and after a few driveway attempts of fitting i slowly began to fall out of love with the idea and in favour of the side steps. Pros and cons to both really,and sometimes iv made my mind up 99% then i have doubts again and sway to the other. so would like your opinions as I am currently very much swinging towards the steps..

 

Steps:

-very easy fit (pretty much bolt on using existing side skirt bolts), my side skirts however are not so straight forward, but I have since cut away what i suspect to be the main contributor to the fitting issue. But i am yet to try...)

-lower (could count as a disadvantage on -30mm springs?)

-can paint myself

-not so many people have, especially c/c

 

skirts:

-already have (but require more faffing)

-must admit i think they look better

 

Anyways some quick mock up pictures i did (excuse the very quick edits, you get the idea)

It's a hard one in the sAme as you I like the side nismo side skirts , and I like the side steps (FC) all the way . I am Also dropped 30mm and got speed bumps right out side my house.... The side steps look more smooth and the skirts look more aggressive... It's a 50/50 one you have got there :-)

Personally, id have the skirts, but if you go for the steps, maybe keep them black, and get your rear spats done at the same time, so that it all blends with the front lip.

Because you already have the Nismo front and spats, go with the Nismo skirts. The steps are awesome, I have them, but they'll look a bit lost with Nismo the rest of the way round the car.

Skirts! Keep it all nismo.

Steps if you didn't have nismo spats and front lip. Would look better if you had say a TS style rear diffuser and stillen splitter.
