If you just want the side skirts the navan skirts might be an option for you, they are an oem nissan part from japan for the 95-98 silvia... I have seen several sets on ebay, here is what they look like on the car. Very similar. If you want to see what they look like on a 95-96 im sure I can find some pics for you. the fact that the skirts in the auction are no-names would kinda scare me personally, who knows how they would fit.

like most non-name brand fiberglass replica's, the kit is probably crap. Fitment is probably way off, which will cost you money at the body shop, and the quality of the fiberglass is probably crap as well, so it will crack if you hit air haha.

thats not good

FRP ( FIBERGLASS REINFORCE PLASTIC) is good stuff i guess.i'm looking at this one now http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT i need a new front bumper because i hit a 4x4 that was holding a roof so i was thinking of getting the whole kit while i was getting the new front end. how hard is it to drive a car with body kits like that? would i run into any problems such as speed bumps and what not. never driven a car with kits on before.

FRP is good stuff if you ever see japanese made FRP over the us like erebuni kits u can see a big difference.....

i have FRP side skirts from prova and one time in NJ i ran over a huge rock bent the metal support almost in half and the side skirt didn t even crack.......if it was some cheap fiberglass that thing would have been in pieces......

japanese kits are expensive but you are paying for quality....if you gonan go out drifting and all dont bother with expensive kits but you just cruising then man....save the money and get some good.....end up paying for it later with cheapo knock offs...

here is a word of advice:

DONT RUN INTO THINGS.

follw that simple rule and the kit could survive for a while.

my friend has had 2 bumpers really messed up from hitting random objects on the highway.1st was a possum2nd was a bump

fiberglass doesnt do well when it strikes something at 60mph.

Well the guy has pretty good feedback so not to many people have had any problems. The only problem that I see with it is:

No predrilled holes for accurate fitment

But if you're good at body work it should not be a probelm and may even work out better.

I got mine through Fulhaber Nissan in Cincinnati Ohio. It looks like Pinnecle Nissan has them for $267 plus shipping. Personally I would try to go through a local dealership to avoid shipping charges.
