My filters at work will not let me post any pics, I emailed you one explaining what to do. Feel free to post it if you like. I got those same valences and they didn't fit like the one in the bings site. They were deformed and the body lines didn't matched. First I had to cut them and reglassed them together to make them fit perfect. Then sanding and painting. The blue line shows where to use double side tape. You will only need 3 stainless steel screws to secured them. Careful, dont make them too tight or they will crack. If yours valences fit properly then you are ahead of the game.

Man all these 240's posted here are really nice. Even the one without paint looks like its gonna look awesome. Good luck I hope mine turns out as good when it gets out of paint.

Can't see the pics right now, I will check them later. But everyone I see with these valences they put them on and actually looks bad. I'm not complaining, I got them from some guy that was not happy with the fitment. Is a cheaper alternative and if you have the patience, you can make them fit perfect with "small" modifications. Check my final product under: "Project Wildcat".

Fiberglass smells good......

BRAND NEW PAIR!!!Never seen it in my life. Actually I got mine from drsilvia and they were used but in like new condition. This guy is amazing and I have no idea how he can get a new pair. These s13 silvia valences have been long out of production. They fit like glove.

I've thought about valences but I figure it wouldn't be the right path for me. I have a small dent in the top of my rear bumper. I just can't stand it not looking like I just drove off a lot or something...I'm just too picky is all. Good luck the valences do look really cool.

fyi, if you're okay with replicas, you can get them a ton cheaper with the same satisfying fitment from canada.http://bings.ca/index.php?page...ild=8

jdm skirts like tend to be f*cked up by the time they make it over here. the top and bottom of these red ones are cracked.

can anyone reccomend some smooth skirts that would go well with an aero bumper?

These are well made aftermarket side skirts. OEM won't crack easily. s13 silvia side skirts are made for aero bumper.

I've never heard of it. I know PDM sells side skirts and lip, but didn't know they copied HICAS side skirts. I was looking at eBay about 1 year to find aero side skirts and valances in mint condition, but I've never come across Canadian HICAS side skirts new or used. Thanks for your input. That makes 4 different types of Nissan OEM side skirts for S-chassis.
Wtf are HICAS side skirts? My car is Canadian, and it's got Hicas, looks like every other 240.

fourLUG_herocould you tell me where you got your skirts?????i`d appricate it thanks.

all i can find them for is 250+.......imo thats just as lil high, id say 150-200 is reasonable, and the rear valances`. 250-400 is nuts for for something like that, it probably cost 20 bucks to make,(although best rear kit imo)

Zilvia classifieds. $250+ sounds decent for authentic good condition skirts. Don't complain. These skirts fit like a dream with no gaps.

omg. brought back from the grave?!?!!

thanks, but sadly my car doesn't look like that anymore.but one day, i'll re-do the same car with a diff shell, but better. i promised myself. lol.

for those pondering aftermarket oem style, or legit oem...pay the extra $ and get oem. these things match up against the car as if there was double sided tape and is the exact length, like a glove....you'll be happy.
