Images of IX sideskirts and flares on a Vert?

[Miasma]

Wondering if it has been done? Anyone have some pics?

Just sitting here looking through a shitload of threads... Daydreaming lol.

And yes I know they would need modifying.

[Miasma]

Gonna bump this.

iX sideskirts won't work on a vert. The rockers on a vert are much taller than a standard E30, you'd be able to see them under the iX skirts.

Damn, Didn't know it was that different.

Thanks.

sides for a vert are a pain in the ass. i was going to do zender2 and just modify them, but then the year/arches weren't matched to that would have been too much. I finally settled on mtech2 sides off a vert that got parted out.
Still need to install em though.

I did this crappy photoshop because I was wondering what it would look like myself.










Here's the original:
I can't remember who the car belongs to but it looks great. The Reiger lip matches the ix flares perfectly.

I want to see this done now. That looks great..

sux the rockers are so big on our cars. The IX would look good except that they wouldn`t cover the rockers.

Here's the issue with the vert rockers...



I modded some mtech II reps from Eurostyle for my car.

I volunteer to experiment with this! I already have a coupe fender and touring sunvisors, may as well have this, especially since I plan on having a coupe trunk too. Been waiting to find a cheap set, preferably local so I dont have to pay for shipping. I already have a set of FOHA coupe side skirts that look like I could get them to work, and just like with the ix kit, if they dont work out I can easily sell them for equal price

This would look good, but it certainly would have to be a custom installation..looks great in that photoshop

Just letting everyone know that I finally got a set of IX flares/skirts. I test fitted them as shown in figure D (which is also how it should be in the photochopped pic above) The flares fit perfectly. And if I buy a certain type of clip, I wont have to drill (theres a special area where the lip of the skirt and the lip of the fender meet. Youre supposed to use some kind of 3m adhesive tape, but I dont trust it. Especially since Ive seen local children stand on complete strangers kits, and the parents just standing next to them, without doing anything about it. So I will use both for extra protection, and to prevent rust, which this kit came with a lot (kit is plastic, but parts of the car came with it)

I will however need to cut each piece. You see the bottom sides are too long, and push the pieces upward. (Basically the Right Fig C) I guess on a non cabrio, they would just got under the vehicle and be fine. So there is some slight modification required. My vehicle is lowered, and about 2-3 inches off the ground. With the kit installed, I really dont think the extra at the bottom will be very noticeable, unless youre the poor sap that gets run over, and to that I say, WTF were you doing lying in the middle of the street?!? :)

hats off.. these guys talked me out of doing this.

Well, to revive a dead thread. I'm half way done with this exact project. It only took an hour or so to trim everything for the driver side. I'll have to make a few brackets.

And as for the visible rockers, they are only visible if you lay down on the ground...On my car anyway. I am usually looking at my car from a standing position. Mine's schwartz though, which helps. Pics comin' when done...

in to see results. Ive been wanting to try this for years. I even was going to buy a set and hand mounted it up and I just couldnt see it working with out the chance of messing up my current bodywork.
