Any side skirt suggestions?

xKeii · 12-30-2015, 02:27 AM

So I am looking into getting a lip kit all around but I'm not seeing many options for side-skirts. Anyone have any suggestions for a sideskirt that doesn't cost too much? I will be slowly getting these parts as i save up so preferably 1000-ish at most?

So far I am looking into getting..

For the front:
Mode Carbon - V1 GTS carbon fiber lip
or
some brand of carbon fiber front splitter

For rear:
VRS system 1 carbon fiber lower diffuser only.

Side skirt:
???

Mode has side skirts too, those are what I'm considering.
I have their V1 lip currently and looks great.
I also wanted the Varis lower diffuser but doesn't look like it'll fit with Meisterschaft muffler, so I'll probably end up with Mode on the back too.

Ya i was looking at that side skirt as well. I normally don't like to mix and match but i thought the side skirt was a bit pricey. Haven't been looking too long but i was about to go to sleep so wanted see if anyone had any suggestions i could look into once i woke up.

For the Varis rear diffuser i was a bit worried about fitment as well since i have a Gintani race exhaust. I think its diameter is 93mm while the Meisterschaft is 90mm at most? Either way i've sent an inquiry asking about if it would work with my exhaust being at 93mm. Hopefullly the answer is YES

It's not the tips that are the problem, it's the muffler hangs too low.

ahh ic.. I contacted ind distribution and they told me due to the design of the gintani canisters and only the lower diffuser I shouldn't have any problems.

Let me know if you find a diffuser that fits the tips of the Gintani race. I haven't bought one yet because I'm scared the tips will touch and burn the diffuser.

sure! might be a while though. Not 100% sure I want to throw 2k+ on a diffuser when I have so many other things I want to get.

The diffuser + undertray combo is around 1k if you get reps, which is what I'm probably going to do.

Really? I know of two cars off the top of my head that have the Varis lower diffuser and a meisterschaft.

If it is an issue it seems like there is away around it.

OP, check out forcewerkz side skirts

Jet335i · 01-14-2016, 10:55 AM

i have forcewerkz side skirts on my e92 and i love em - way less than $1K too.

Elwolfe · 01-20-2016, 02:32 PM

I've had my eye on the Dinmann ones. Carbon fiber... They're ~$1K IIRC.

What reps are considered good fitment and quality? I haven't seen anything interesting.

Not 100% sure, that's why I haven't bought any yet. Ebay seems 50/50 and mod bargains has some but is on the pricier side for reps.

I went with ModeCarbon for my side skirts, front splitters, rear diffuser AND GTS wing. Can't go wrong with their quality
