There aren't any side skirts that I like out there. I came across these side diffusers from gotuning.com but obviously they're for a S2000. I kind of like them and think something like this will look good on a 240. Anyone know where I might be able to get something like this for my 240? Does anyone even make anything like this for our cars?....and no, that website don't carry these side diffusers for 240's.

Whats the wheelbase difference between the S2000 and an S13?If it isnt much get a saw and some black tape.

I havent gotten much sleep in the last 48hours so i dont feel like doing a thorough search, but i think its safe to assume finding a set of those made for the S13 is going to be a chore and a half.So just get a set that will be easiest to fit, and modify till.

That being said, those look like something someone could easily replicate with a plank and some paint.

With that money you could get forged pistons and rods for a KA...

I wonder which one would be more beneficial....

RHD is insanely overpriced.

I don't see how people could fork over that much $$$ for some of their products.

My car club does custom work like this. The president of the club works for Nia Body kits and has done something similar to diffusers and splitters on a civic. To get an idea: http://niabodykits.com/civic.html# Get in touch with him through that site and tell him John reffered you.

I lol'd700 dollar for those?....thats a joke, no way anyone would be willing to pay that.As i said earlier, OP just get some wood, some black paint, a Saw and sanding paper......lots of sanding paper.,Then recreated those right to spec, and be happy.

Those pieces are extremely overpriced as are most items on RHD. Also they're just plain flat. Like Nali said, I could easily make them myself like that for well under $700. The ones I posted wraps around the undercurve of the car and not just plain flat. That'd be a little harder to replicate, but if anyone have any ideas, I'm all for it.

My best bet would probalby to contract someone like NIA or Extreme
