Message Look good with just about ANY front fascia option.

I chose the Cpark for a few reasons... first its less expensive, 2nd its all fiberglass including the door fillers. vs. the authentic kaminari are fiberglass but the door fillers are Urethane.

I chose to have it all fiberglass (Cpark) because my widebody. I had to get the side skirt cut into multiple peices that there is less chance of cracking (its the only thing molded to my car, the rest is metal. I made sure the body shop kept the stock "body line" ( the one that runs along the base of the Z's body, usually a black strip of tape). I also had him bond the door filler (which is why I got the Cpark kaminari style side skirts) since the door filler is fiberglass and I had it cut into a thin strip and am bonding that to the door to bring that out a little bit to match the side skirt.

The fitment (Just put it up there to see how it would look before I took my car to the body shop. The "lay-up" fitment looked dead on.

I believe that stillen type 3's look good as well.

the Kaminari/Cpark and stillen type 3 are very clean side skirts and bring the center of the car down a bit, to make it look lower. It also covers up the rock guard. With some of us, the rock guard looks very old and dingy.. you can either clean it up real good and get it repainted.

You can go buy one of those small "factory color" cans of dupli-color from autozone etc. and tape off the door or any flat area of the car. Only leave the rough places (the rock guard) and do a light mist of spray paint (after you clean it very throughly with simple green or similar). Give it two-four very light coats, then let dry and do the same with a compatible clear.

It will make a worlds difference if your rock guard is faded and old looking. Plus, you can tell if you made any runs, or even if the color is a tiny bit off. Since its got the rough surface.. it'll hide any imperfections.

The other choice you have is to have a body shop either Sand it all flat, fill, then paint.. but IMO.. it looks nicer to just put a side skirt on (kaminari/Cpark or Stillen type 3).

NO, This picture is not photoshopped. It took many times to take this picture. Setting up the timer, shutter speed etc, then jumping on my bike and getting the tire to spin.
