Stillen Rockers/Side skirts finally installed.

[opekone_1988]

Ok, so I know this is not like a new product and all but just wanted to post my new pic's.. havent seen too many Gray coupes with the side skirts. I'll tell you this much, they look so much better in person. So if you're on the fence about buying these, trust me.. you wont regret it, really makes the car look completely different. Had them painted for $210 and installed myself.Even tho the paint looks off, its not.. for some reason the moldings always look a bit lighter, even the oem ones.

looks awesome bro! I have been on the fence about these, but now I really wanna get them. once I have some more spending money

[Rmuth25]

Me too I do agree you need to see it in person to get the full effect. Pictures do not do it justice. This weekend I will get around to installing the corners. . .

[opekone_1988]

I completely agree.. pictures don't do the rockers any justice.. I was always like Bleh! they look ok, until I actually went to Stillen and saw them in Person.. I was like WOW!!! I NEED THESE!!! If people stared before' now its like x2.. people are like "What kind of car is that" .. really happy with the side skirts.

[srwong]

very nice side skirts everyone, i will deff have to get these when i finally decide to get the fascia also (still on the fence bout fascia because i don't want to give up fogs lol)

I have noticed when I just put the lip on I started to get more people asking me what kindof car it is. .

In retrospect when I look at the pictures I think I should have done my calipers black instead of red. Oh well.

please please please install some springs or coil overs. It looks great right now but will look twice as good without that wheel gap.

I really would love to but the roads here in eastern pa are horrible. So uneven/potholes it's criminal. I live kindof out in the sticks so the roads by my house do nit get repaving priority lol. That being said atleast in my opinion when I put some tire shine on since the car is black you do not notice the gap too much.

[BamaCoupe]

Hey opekone_1988; it looks like you only installed the skirts while keeping OEM front and no lip. You got a front/side profile shot; since the stillen skirts kept OEM skirt's profile ( not flaring out anywhere) I've been wondering how this would look.

i disagree rmuth25... i think your black car, with red calipers looks really good on your car, especially with the red tails... it really brings out the tails and is a very subtle but nice accent to your car... DO NOT CHANGE THAT.. LOOKS FANTASTIC!!!!

what I would love to see is someone with your exact same setup run 1 small red led and mount it inside the opening back there in the stillen side skirt... it would provide a nice glowing red effect at night... I think taht would look sick....

Rmuth, have you ever thought about getting eyelids? I think if you dialed down that amber with a set of thsoe fiber glass eyelids, the amber wouldn't class with the red calipers, and would give your car a nice black theme with red accents... just my .03, but please don't change those calipers... red calipers do NOT look good on every car color, but looks great on black IMO on your car

[opekone_1988]

Yeah Bama.. kept the OEM front and no lip because im thinking of getting the splitter.. (I think Doc has it installed) Let me know if you want me to take a picture of a certain angle and get it posted so you can see what it looks like..

[BamaCoupe]

much obliged if you would; just any angle that you can see the OEM front and side skirts together.

damn i was planning on doing that with an amber light for my turn signals once i get my stillen sides....

[Rmuth25]

Got the corners on. Kindof a weird day outside for pictures this afternoon lots of shadows.

[rjdmmfl1]

I like that idea... its all about doing things that no one else is doing... stay original...

Here you you go buddy.. Hope this helps.

[bl4ckph4nt0m]

that looks amazing ... hey question for you guys ... how hard was it to take the stock side skirts of? how does it come off?

[shortys408]

I plan on doing black real soon. I have the paint, just need to set aside some time to do it.

[PHENOMenalVinyl]

is this a photooff lmao

[bl4ckph4nt0m]

hey Rmuth25

what are these things? did you paint the chrome (if so, spray paint?)? or did you put something on the chrome like a cover or soemthing

btw love your ride

[opekone_1988]

is this a photooff lmao

[Blackmobile]

[bl4ckph4nt0m]

[Marisha]

You can always pick up a set of Bat's overlays. He's got a thread for 'em somewhere

how hard was it to take of the original side skirts? ... do you have pics when you took of the original ones? i was reading ... in order to take them of you need to just pull them hard ... i plan on doing this soon .. so i want to know what im in for thanks !

[minhhtuann]

I've been dying to know how to take off the regular stock side skirts too! i wanna know how to do it and know how to put on the stillen rockers myself xD save money ya know? haha

[opekone_1988]

You shouldnt have much trouble taking the skirts off.. pretty easy. Its just a screw or 2 in the front by the front wheel and one screew in the back skirt by the rear wheel. Then there are some small clips underneath (Like 6 of them) that you pry off with a flat head screwdriver (Which you will not use with the the stillen skirts, but save them in case you want to put original skirts back) and once you have all that done you just pull the skirts off and will end up braking the clips that are holding it from behind (You have no choice but to break them, they will not be used again) and that should be it. Hope that helps.

[RaiderKID]

^ where did you paint your sides at?

[johnnir3volution]

Those stillen sides are the best looking skirts for us 4th geners. I think they look great in pictures but in real life you can see that its not perfect. Thats why i went with the nismo sides, and the fact that they clip on just like the oem.

Thanks a lot Opekone! now i know what im dealing with LOL my side skirts should come in tomorrow so now i know what to do lol but are the stillen side skirts held on just by those screws and clips? nothing else necessary?
