S14 Kouki OEM Sideskirts - Can you install w/o endcaps? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

koukizhang · 10-23-2016, 12:18 PM

Just picked up a set of OEM side skirts for my 97 kouki without endcaps. Seeing that they're kind of hard to find cheap, just wondering if you'd be able to install them without the end caps. Also, if I do install them w/o the end caps and find a set of end caps later on, how hard would it be to add the end caps to the skirts already installed?

Thanks

Yes... endcaps are just a finishing piece...

I have one side for sale 28$ shipped

you know where I could pick up the other side for cheap? If so I'll scoop those up from you.

Yes I do... new runs 50ish

I'll hit u up about that soon. Do you know if I can install the end caps after I've installed the skirts already? I have a base model and i'll be drilling and using double sided molding tape and don't want to have to go through the trouble of taking them off just to put the end caps on.

Yes they slip on the rear wheel well...

Might have to remove rear wheels at most....

Okay I'll pm you some time soon about picking those end caps up from you. Thanks for all your help man!

I left mine out. At 200mph the holes act like an air extractor and create a good amount of downforce on the car.

Leave them off or you risk dying after your car lifts and explodes into a huge fireball.
