TRD side skirts only, opinions?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I like the looks of these side skirts on the car with the RX8 rims, I don't like the TRD front lip though. What do you guys think of just doing the side skirts?
My car has the gold rims thinking it needs something just not sure what.

If you just get the side skirts it looks kind of weird. The rear wheel is split in half by top of the skirt kit with no continuation at the rear bumper. But its your car you are welcome to do whatever you want to it without judgement :thumbsup:

Also the bottom edge of the side skirt is an inch or two closer to the ground than the stock rocker panel. It'll be further down compared to the stock front and rear bumpers and won't line up with them.

Yeah you're right i'd have to get the rear too, I like the way the side skirt kinda has a splash guard at the front of it too.
Might just get the Downforce kit from Evasive and get it painted to match.

I think this really depends on your taste.
For me, idealy a car has a full kit, or if not, then at least a front lip and sideskirts, or just a front lip, but not just sideskirts. It looks wierd when the car's front is higher then the middle part of the car. For me the front must be the lowest part of the car, or at the same level as the rest, everything else looks weird to me.
But in the end, its up to your taste and what you like to look at every morning when getting into your car

Which one the TRD or Evasive?

That's my choice for sikeskirts as well. Now all I you need is a front and rear you like...
I believe "only a skirt" looks silly.

If you get a Nur Spec front, TRD side skirt, Modellista rear, and BRZ spoiler it will look like the FT-86 concept II

Enough about the sideskirt, what about the RX8 R3 wheels on the FR-S in the second pic??? Those wheels are a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

Supposedly someone is suppose to be coming out with an adapter plate that gives us a 5x114.3 bolt instead of the stock 5x100. I forgot who it is though.

And if i remember correctly those wheels have a +50 offset so its probably a 15mm adapter.

I believe Project Kics has an adapter already (released) that converts 5x100 to 5x114.3
