i have heard that PDM body kit parts dont have the greatest fitment, does anybody have experience with their stuff? I wanted to get just the PDM sideskirts because the are clean looking and cheap. Or if somebody know another cheap sideskirt that looks good...

Are S13 coupe and fastback bumpers really different? They look exactly the same to me...I even compared a fastback that was parked right next to my coupe and I couldn't tell any differences? yet "The rear valance does not fit S13 coupes, only hatchbacks" according to PDM?:help:

You realize those skirts are OEM replicas right?

To bad. The rear valance and sides come stock on Canadain 240's.

Really? Is that the case with all fastbacks or just the ones equipped with HICAS?

I see them on all model 240's but almost every 91-94 240 you see here is a HICAS.

Dammit J-spec, I have a comment: You can't have those! That's what I've got planned for my car. That and the rear valance. I'm putting the '91 front bumper cover and modding my zenki lip to fit and a HUGE wing on the back. Ok, maybe not a huge wing, but that's my bodykit plans.

I hear that PDM stuff is pretty good quality and fits well, but I have no direct experience yet. You could always wait until I install that on my car and let me be the guinea pig. :D

I suppose since I have a hatch and not doing a Sil80, we'll be different enough and still have the same side skirts...

i have the pdm side skirt, i had some trouble getting them to fit, they seemed bent, im not sure if it was from shipping. they bolted up well tho, and i used some body filler to hide the gaps. i have aot of experience doing bodywork tho, overall it looks good, but id reccomend having a professional do it. that way you can blame them if it sucks lol

jay (psi240sx) has the pdm side skirts as well, and he expressed similar fit issues... they kinda bulge out near the door (barely noticeable though:))
