Hey everyone. I'm new to these forums so please, bear with me :) Well, I recently purchased a 1990 300zx and it has some body damage. The thing that is most noticable are the side skirts; They're horribly dented. I was wondering where I could buy some stock ones because I cannot seem to find them ANYWHERE. I've Googled them & they seem to be absent from existence haha :frown: I do not want any flashy aftermarket ones, just plain stock ones. If any of you could point me in the right direction, I'd be mighty thankful! Thanks :biggrin:

OEM, I have found them, but they are pricey. I was looking to get the 99 Nismo ones and that priced out to about $1.2k. They will fit perfectly, but I think that's probably not what you're looking for (looking for the 90-96 ones, which I have never seen yet).

Ahh.That is quite a pretty penny... Hmm. Well, I just want some that at least look stock, no fancy design. I haven't seen any either :confused:

Brandon, what you are talking about is actually the body not the skirts, I actually don't think you can buy them anywhere, they just have to be fixed by a body shop as they are welded and molded at the factory, the Nismo ones that Fear is referring to are sideskirts that overlay the body and could be used to hide the damage. But you would still know it's there.

Do you have any idea about how much it might cost? Or would it be cheaper to just find some stock-looking side skirts? & thank you for the welcome! I'm sure I'll enjoy my stay :biggrin:

Depends how badly damaged the rocker panel is, your best bet is to go around to a few body shops in your area and see what they quote you. after market skirts will likely cost you 200-300 before paint. And the only ones i would really suggest if you go that route is kaminari, stillen type III's, or ionic dynamics 99 oem replica ones.

The Greddy g-racer side skrits are also nice. You'd have to have some type of lip in the front though, to pull them off cleanly.

My vote for a simple skirt would be the Kaminari set
