Hey was wondering if anybody knows or have dealt with side skirts for a BD. Rather they were for it or from another car that that happened to fit on it.

lol Sorry about that was sort of in a hurry but I mean is there any side skirts for a second gen or any from another car that would fit a second Gen.

Ohh. :grin: 2nd gen sideskirts from a GT/LSi can be swapped obviously, but as far as direct swaps from another body or make, :smt102 I once had 3rd gen wagon skirts that I had modded to fit my BK wagon. I had to shorten them and plastic weld tho.

Yeah I'm not one for body kits unless its for a dirft car but Ill be doing research on body parts from other cars. I want a midwing for my rear windsheild and id like to find some skirts and a front lip for my BD.

Yeah I fill ya, It’s a first gen but my legacy inspiration for doing this and knowing putting parts from a different car could work if fitted is Logins Legacy aka the Purple Drift Union legacy. The skirts and lips on it are from a WRX not sure though of witch gen of WRX but more or less one from the earlie 90s.

Best thing to do is get a tap measure and get the numbers of your wheels base. Then go to the wreaking yard and measure a ton of other cars and also look at the contour. I found that with mild modification I can make NX2000 side skirts sit my Pulsar GTiR.

It the same for front and rear lips. I'm thinking of looking for a lip for my GT-B bumper so it looks more like a GTR...

Noice okay good advice thanks. :] Oh and If you want your car to sort of look like a skyline then get a skyline wing, They fit our cars just fine, Well the wing its self Not the bolt pattern at the bottom.

I just sold off my Skyline GTS-T wing I had from my Silvia. I'm happy with the OEM one... :smt023
