Alright guys. These photos have been fueling my passion to get this kit even further. My only hesitation, as beautiful as the C-West rear bumper is, is that it covers the 4th brake light and I have invested some time into making the rear aesthetic look cohesive.



So I plan on combining this with the Nur Spec rear bumper. It has always appealed to me and I think it would combine nicely with the lines of the C-West kit. But I was wondering if someone could do me a small favor and measure the rear end of the side skirts from top to bottom? I want to see if the difference in the width from the C-West and Nur Spec would be too much to ruin the line.


Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Let me see if I can track that down for you. We don't have any here at the moment or I'd measure it. Let me know when you are ready, I can get the Cwest and the Nur for you!

Just out of curiousity are the side skirts different depending on which one you have? Brz/FRS?

No, they're the same for both models

Fantastic! Thanks for the help. Can you send me a PM for the C-West BRZ front lip and side skirts in Crystal Black Silica, and the Nur Spec rear bumper in the same color as well if you can get it pre painted?

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you! That's perfect. I haven't gotten a response for an authentic Nur Spec kit from other places that I asked, but it appears from what information I got so far, C-West is approximately 2 inches higher.

I've been trying to track down the NUR kit for another guy, but none of my vendors seem to have it. Wish I could help there!

Do these side skirts require drilling into the body of the car? I'm fine drilling into the plastic but not into the metal.

One inside the door frame. The rest is a mix of brackets, double sided tape and more double sided tape really.

I've been having difficulty as well. Everyone seems to have the EBay version and it's not the same. Thank you for trying though!

For my kit, I had issues with the side skirts going into the door jams. The door would make contact with the side skirt which would eat away at the paint. I had my body shop sand down possible areas of contact and at moving parts.
