I noticed this the other day and must have them NOW. I think this looks amazing. I have never really like after market s13 skirts because it makes the bottom of the door look sunk in. I havnt searched cuse im in a rush but dont the s14 skirts just bolt from the bottom and does anyone else have pictures of this done. These skirts are fairly cheap to Right?

I figure i can just drill some holes in the floor board and put a flat screw though them. Its seems easy but i may be wrong.

Not my cup of tea. But if they were Navan... maybe...

I think you may be onto something. However, Type X side would provide the same look with less the work and ghetto rigging...

do not place ghetto screws through your floorpan. thats just stupid.

i honestly am irritated (but not surprised) that such a thing would go through someones head as "ok to do"

Alot of the new 240sx owners just **** up their 240sx as if it was a Wal-Mart bicycle.

Drilling holes everywhere, sliding it into curbs, not giving a crap about the car.

it might work better on a coupe but i doubt it. s14 is curvy so it flows more but on a rigid and angled s13 maybe a type x skirt is more appropriate.

with that said i need a pair myself...

That looks bad. im thinking of stealing my girl friends side skirts to do it on mine! I dont want a show car tho, im more into sliding. Dents just show that we drive our cars, they dont just sit n the garage and get dusted waiting on a car show.

Here it is with the lip and skirts color matched. It looks pretty good, but I probably wouldn't rock it. I have some damage to the rocker panel area behind the door, so if I were to get skirts I would get some real ones that cover up that area. They pretty much just look like the type x skirt minus the part that goes in front of and behind the door.

240lookis- is this your car, If so were they the same length?

Razi and mrgreeneyes- whats up yalls a**. Yes the new kids are ruining 240s. OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hahaha what a joke. find something better to do than bust on people for asking a question. Razi- Arnt you new to 240's anyway.

I really like those wheels to. Those are sick lips for steelies.

If i did this with mine i would get the type x rear. I wanted to do all oem but its way to exspensive.

Now if you will excuse me im gonna go drill some holes in my car and hopefully slide into a curb after that. Ahh that would be a perfect end to this day.

Yes, these are some inexpensive cars, but dayum! You know, there are people who race/drive their cars without them looking like piles of excrement. But we all know, some people just can't appreciate things and not rag them out needlessly.



That doesn't look too bad. Hopefully it wasn't hacked as much as I think it was to fit.

Ive owned 5 240s. I build them to rape them and improve my driving skills. If it cost me 1k dollars to find a new 1 then I just think about how much i've learned from it. I see them as toys tho.
