Ok tax time has come and I am looking to buy some sideskirts for my s14. I have noticed that being my car is a original pearl white car It looks like the parint doesn't go all the way down to the bottom of the car like all other colored s14's.

If i install kouki oem sides will it cover this unpainted area of my body? Or will i need to have the bottom painted in order to get rid of this black strip ? I know the big aftermarket ones cover the whole bottom and in that case this black strip would be covered.

I also have been looking into the exteme dimensions sides and have read horrible reviews about them, keep in mind the reviews are from 2008-2011. So I am wondering if maybe their fitment has gotten better over the years. Can you guys give me some advice on what sides to get. I originally planned on getting either v speed style (extreme dimensions) or oem kouki ones but any advice will be appreciated. I am not really into the super flared out styled ones being i am on struts and springs and I am not as low as most of you so it would look idiotic IMO. I want a mild look not wild if that makes sense.

If you install S14 Kouki Sideskirt it WILL cover the black area at the bottom. I just removed mine and noticed the unpaint/black area. But yes it will cover that area up.

Ok that's what I needed to know.

Kouki skirts are so damn expensive lol. I have found online people are saying the USDA and the jdm kouki skirts are different slightly in the shape of the curve on the bottom. Is this true ?

Ok where can I find some kouki sides that aren't 500 dollars shipped and actually include the end caps.

Ebay sucks

I haven't come across any jdm importers that carry them

i found some for 320 shipped theyre in canada...

whats the big deal about the end caps? most of what i see they are missing end caps and just by chance the guy who pm'ed me about a pair said his DO have the endcaps.. If i happen to miss out on them if i pick up a set with missing caps what would it look like? my car currently has no mudflaps.
