s14 u.s.a kouki vs navan skirt question??

[Renelovesnike]

I was wondering wich of the two side skirts hangs/sits lower once its on??

and ive seen on s14 that came stock with side skirts come with holes alongside the fender/body/1/4pannel!

would i have to drill holes in the exact same spot to make it fit"PERFECT"

or should i just do what ppl at meets do and bolt the ends and bubble sided tape along the inside of the whole skirt??

=D thanks for any help

I would think the Kouki sideskirts hang lower because of the ends as compared to Navan skirts which hug the body fairly well.

If you want proper fitment on OEM parts, do whatever is necessary.

Drill holes on the rocker panel. I mean, if you end up pulling the skirts off, all you have to do is plug the holes with rubber plugs.

and =D haha im sure once the skirts are on im never gonna go back to skirtless!!!

the kouki skirts look like they hang down lower but maybe that's an illusion cuz they stick out a little. My kouki skirts are pretty flush with the bottom of the rocker panel. I installed the kouki SS on my base model s14 kouki (no skirts) and i put black paint on the ends of those little yellow clips, mocked up the SS on the car so the clips touched the rocker panel and leaves a small paint mark, pulled it off then drilled holes on the black paint marks on the rocker panels. Alignment is perfect but i have a little gap cuz i didn't use the rubber grommets..I wish i got them to make it a factory-quality installbut they are expensive cuz you need like 16 of them but it's just doing it right.

kouki skirts hang low? wtf.? they're like not even .25" lower then the pinch weld.

[Renelovesnike]

thank you spooled 240 =D

and duh i know oem dosent hang low but i dont wana go aftermarket due to superb oem quality =D

and they kinda give an illusion of a lower ride once its lowered so.. =D

there's not much of a difference in which ones sit lower, but the zenki skirts will require you to drill/bolt/rivet on the lower 1/4 panel to get perfect fitment

navan is lower kouki just sticks out more

[wideride]

can somebody post picture side by side to compare...

[Renelovesnike]

there you go both have optional kouki lip.
yes the coke bottle shape sideskrits sits lower.

[Renelovesnike]

=D thank you for posting!!! and its good that they have the optional k's lip cuz i want one =D

there both good in there own ways!! us.kouki gives it a sporty look and i think navan looks agresive!!

i wana go with a low offset wheel and im guessing that will flow better with the navan but this one is hard!!! =[

thanks for all the help!!
