Opinions on side skirts?
Thursday, May 22, 2008 10:16 AM
Ok guys....I rarely ask for opinions, but I figured what the hell. Right now I have 3 sets of side skirts. Stock, Razzi, and Type J. I got the Razzis and Type Js for free and I figured, hell I might as well see how they look on the vert, so here we are.....

Stock sides




Razzi sides








Type J sides









Now I understand the concept of "do what you want" but at the moment I am up in the air. I HATE the stock sides and think that just about ANYTHING would be better than them. BUT I don't particularly care for either of these other two sets of sides either.

My preference would be IF sides (and a set actually came with the drop top and were waiting for me up at Paul's) but they had to be sacrificed for the greater good of the car (i.e. I traded them for the work to get the 1/4 welded about 6 weeks ago)

*waiting on DTP to condemn any and everything other than IF sides*

i think the razzis go better with the front bumper imo. they have a similar flow to them. of course i still cant see the type j's all that well....

Hmm... How about sell all 3 sets and get some WW sides. If you don't like either of them just get the ones you want. I'm sure someone out there might want to trade you a set for a set. Shouldn't be that hard, but you know the first person that wants them is going to be in SoCal or something far away.

IF are the only ones i would really want for the drop top. i dont like the WW sides either. oh yeah, i also want to stay urethane on these. ive got bc2 sides on the red car that i would put on the drop top and they would flow....but i dont want to go back to fiberglass.

trey: come on man....i know you want some type J sides what do you have to swap for em?

honestly to me it doesnt look like either really flow well with the bumpers you have. i'd wait and get the ones you want. i'd take the j's off your hand but im sure shipping would suck balls.

Naw... I've been there done that... I have Z sides and TRD sides that are not for grabs, but like I said above wait and get the ones you want.

You two can meet in the middle in Columbus. If you are going to be here that Friday of HIN you are here. Just make Tabs come here and make his money to get the sides he wants.

yeah i dont care for either of the aftermarket sides, but again, i cant stand the stockers. the type Js arent that bad, but id prefer something that doesnt come up the rear 1/4 panels like they do. and the ones ive got that dont do that dont flow and are too low.

and the reason i am trying to get something figured out is because i want to try and paint this thing by the end of june. i dont have the $ to throw around on some IF sides, esp with prices going around $200+shipping for a used set. i just figured that if either of these skirts would look ok, that i could use them. oh well...

sndsgood: youve got a PM

hey Ben, id say the get some IF sides or maybe even some LS Sport sides....the 95 - 99 Z skirts dont go good with anything unless its the same bumpers....

the type j is only gonna look good if you got the same kit to go with it

Why not try the J sides but trim off the strip so it doesn't look so crazy?



then you could even mold them in.



Sorry not the best, but i think it gives you the idea. I don't have fancy Photoshop. Still using MS Paint!

nah, i actually like the door strike part of the type Js. and i really dont want to try and mess with molding in urethane. but that might look good on someone else's car....

03-05 LS Sport sides would be amazing too or ben, I got some 95-99 Z sides at home...would you prefer those? I'm confident I'd trade straight up



Re: Opinions on side skirts?

trade the fire sides for the z sides? ok. although im not making another trip up there just for that so we'd have to sweet talk jnickel into doing our dirty work when he comes down to visit
