Nice... Looks much betta, but now you need a lip. I know how you have been dying to get the eastbar lip, it would look real nice on your car.

EDIT: keep the back tape, i hate how people erase all the little accents on cars, only things that are ugly is mismatched stripes.

Time ago that look at your car and always like to me.
"Nice clean and simply.I like it"

Actually Dousan, these are OEM Nissan skirts and rear lip. I got them dirt cheap (250$ CDN) at my door. I'm a big fan of the East Bear Type 2 skirts, but funds have been low. I would love a Kouki 180sx front end, but I'm out of luck, and cash. I'm also getting in lots of auto-x and maybo some solo1 action and to destroy a kouki front end would kill me. I do know that your friend ruf can get them at a not too steep of a price. Maybe i'll just get the GPSports front end... ;)

KiDyNomite:
I'm still pondering on getting a lip... My exhaust is scraping here and there and a lip would certainly scrape too. It would be a shame to scrap a nice lip because my car is a bit too low. (I might as well raise it a little. ;) )

Rash:
Yes, I was one of the founding members of that forum in Quebec. I'm also their master post-whore, with over 5500 post :eek:. I wasted so much time there... The good info is here and on Freshalloy.

oem side sides are like this:

see how yorsu are, has that 'vent' but not really, but it is that sort of shape at rear
180sx rear is ONLY 3 peice, NEVER 1 peice.

you got PDM/Bomex

unless US had some oem but it doesnt to my knowledge...you got tricked.

btw, i paid 80 USD for the EXACT same sides and rear you have!! BRAND NEW!!

I tell you, they came off a Canadian spec 180sx. They are both in urethane, very flexible... I have seen the PDM knock-offs and they may look alike, but it's totally different in terms of quality. Also, I have seen most OEM SE's up north and they have the rear lip. My GF used to own a 1991 SE with the same lip! I also have some other friend with the same lip...

I don't know about the american skirts that came with the car, but you did show me stock coupe skirts. the fake vents on the 240sx (hatch) here are merely some stickers on the skirt.

I swear, she had it like that when she bought it. I also know another guy that has the stock skirts and rear valance. I never knew that you guys never got it. My GF just told me that not all SE's have them... so it might be an option on the SE models. I do know for sure though that it is stock on the car.

Well that's a first! ;)

Actually, I might have narrowed it down with my GF as we speak. All the 240's that I know that have the kit are SE/Hatch with HICAS. So it must've been in the option package with HICAS.

Might have a chance, but you don't find them on every SE 240sx.. :(
