Side Skirts

Mr Mole · May 27, 2008

Hi everyone,just a quick question. I'm lookin to get side skirts for the car but not sure which kind to buy.

Are the fiber glass ones worth buying ? Seen some on eBay but not sure if they would be OK.

Any one got any recomondations where i should buy them from.

Or should I go for original ones?

Cheers Adrian

i'd go for the original ones matey then at least you'll know they will fit without having to trim them to make them fit, like you would with most fibreglass ones you can buy? :D

After reading various topics on badly fitting & badly made kits I went for the original TRD kit & never looked back.

i was looking at the same ones as you are lol

Dont go for the black set on eBay for 29.99 as there off the wide body kit thats advertised so wont fit very well unless you get the wide arch kit to go with them? ;)

Hey,

Guess who bought the skirts from eBay?

Question is, how much modification will they need to be fitted? Anyone know?

I challenged the guy on them being for the widebody kit and he has offered to refund me.

Question is, do i take them and make them fit (more cost) or leave them?

The TTE or TRD ones may be a better bet, but will be more expensive and are also quite common. They are nice, but sometimes i like to be a little diferent!

Really dunno what to do now!

have you test fitted them to find out how good they fit then you'll know what your gonna do next

He has not sent them to me yet, is holding them on my decision. I have to make the decision without seeing them! If i took them then sent back i would loose too much on the postage costs and the hassle...

oh bugger,in that case if you wanna be different go for it,it cant be that bad a fit but might look a bit weird with the rest not being matched

Exactly. I dont wanna look weird! I have a TRD rear lip, and currently nothing lined up for the front.

i'd leave it then mate imo

aztecbandit1 · May 30, 2008

here you go matey this is the skirts fitted but they look like they will stick out quite a bit without the arch kit fitted?

VVProtocolVV · May 30, 2008

The skirts look more suited to be a spoiler than a side skirt lol. Yep i noticed them too and knew i saw them somewhere...tbh..i say leave them..why would you want more hassel? Why isn't there much choice when it comes to rear bumpers for the lexus..

84Stoney · June 2, 2008

Yep.

Sod that.

Refund and forget it!

Hope it helped with me posting it up matey about those skirts, at least it saved you a lot of hassle and some money in the end?? Sounds like a decent seller though to refund you your money as i know most wouldnt? :)

Yeh, I realised they would need work but didn't realise quite how much they stuck out! Also, didn't think i'd win them for £30 odd either!

I emailed him and asked if they should be fitted with the rest of the kit and asked why he didn't make it clear in the listing! I was goning to pay for them, as i did bid for them, but he offered the refund! So i took it.

I can't afford any work on the car at the mo, so they would have sat around for ages anyway!
