Will Side Skirts Look Odd On My 33?

[MeLSki]

Hey Guys and Gals!

I want to get black side skirts for my r33 but I'm too undecided due to the front bar being harlequin as well? so thought I'd get some opinions. The car is harlequin with a black roof, boot and bonnet.

At the moment the roof and bonnet have flake through the black and the boot doesn't.

I'm getting the bonnet sprayed straight black without the flake...now if I get black side skirts...would it

a) look stupid, b) look ok or c) look ok if I got flake sprayed through the black as well....

Sorry if this sounds confusing and pointless but I just can't decide so some opinions would be good.

Here are some pics of the sky at the moment, skirtless:

nah will looks sexay!!! i jst got my 33 tonite. n has skirts on it looks sick!

[MeLSki]

yeah i love the side skirts, heaps want them i think they kinda give that finished look, but with the harl' it might look odd, like out of place

[liamxah]

mmm looks odd without them

heya, this is whathisnames old car hey, the camera guy with fuzzy hair?

hi Melski,

i think without the side skirts it looks fairly odd because the front bar is quite deep. I personally think it would look okay with black sideskirts. If you think it loooks bad maybe paint the bottom half of your front bar and sorta have a two tone theme? If you get the chance..see if you can find someone that can photoshop some side skirts on and see how they would look. Are you thinking of doing something to the rear bar? or leaving it as is?

The car does look a little odd with just the front bar, so I would recommend getting the skirts. I dont know about making them black though, I''m personally not a fan on multicoloured cars

I'm guessing the skirts would be pretty expensive to get painted the same colour as the base of the car?

[Pattygtst]

What sideskirts? I agree it needs them to suit the proportion of the lower front. If you need help where to get good kits let me know.

Should get pods too

I would spray the skirts the same as the front. Wont look right in my opinion if its black.

Side skirts are nice as long they are not bulki and fits flush it will look hot

[NA_Goodness]

Sam, it's Steve's old car.

Mel, it needs side skirts, but would look ghetto-spec if sprayed black. Paint it halli when you paint the front bar.

[MeLSki]

but it's going to cost soooo much *cries*

maybe get rid of the harl' and get back to black lol sif

too hard... and ok n00b quesion here... wtf re pods?!?!

[sam5709]

atm looks like a girl without pants....... mmmmmm girl without pants

mmm pants

Pods are like a rear bar except they only cover like the left and right side not the middle bit of the back.

That didn't really make sense.

Like this:

get these skirts - i think they match the front bar - i think its the same as mine

sidenote: how hard are pods to fit? can do it yourself?

spray or leave black either way you would need an aftermarket sideskirt to finish the look of the car. atm it does look really odd. pod is a cheap alternative but if you can spare a few more $ then get aftermarket rear bumper...then your car will sit evenly and nicely.

[MeLSki]

sooo skirts and pods it is...leave black for now till I can afford the respray....sound liek a plan?

And yeah Fane that front bar is the same as mine, can u please pm me details of where u got ur side skrits (if u got them?)

[ZXY]

i have pods if you want melski, i had them for my r33 but never put them on and since i dont have a r33 anymore..i have no use for them

looks exactly the same as these:

Do it when you can afford to do it right the first time. No point payn to have it sprayed black the first time then spraying it that chameleon colour later

If your doing pods jun is the only way gtr pods look ghey.
