Default JDM JZS147 ARISTO OEMside skirts

Hey guys I was looking around for aJDM Aristo front bumper and I came across JDM OEM Aristo side skirts ( http://m.ebay.com/itm/301722056863 ) but I can't find a picture of them installed? Does any have a picture of them on a car and/or know how they are mounted? Thanks in advance

Yeah. This is a crap picture, but I might be able to get another one on Sunday when I visit my car in Canada.

It could be me or maybe the angle of the pic but those look the same as the USDM skirts. Is there a difference that I don't see?

I am not sure. I don't think I have ever seen a 1st gen GS300 around here.

Does that rear deck spoiler do much for downforce? Just curious. I had one similar to that on my RX7 and it actually made enough downforce to send a rooster tail up behind the car during the rain. It was very stable at high speeds. I'd like to have that on my GS.

I can't answer that. I can't import my car until later this year and even then, it'll be in pieces within a week. I do believe it's mostly aesthetics as it came on the 3.0V

Someone else might know.

ARISTO sideskirts are ONE piece, GS300 are two piece. That's the only difference. When installed you cannot tell the difference. Not worth buying IMHO. Save for a Wald kit (IF they still sell it).

I'm doing the same thing you are. It looks like we had the same idea. I'm getting mine from Derek Welden of Pacific Coast Imports.

I bought mine about a year and a half ago. Just put it in storage in Canada until it's legal to import.

I was looking at the pics and I could tell the difference. I wonder why they made the Aristo 1 piece and the GS 2 piece...weird. Thanks for the info!!
