Default The last time I put a set of skirts on was.......

on my MSM '01 in June 2006 https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...test-mods.html

Since then I have vowed not to own this next IS300 (CW '02) without putting a set of RMM skirts on it like the MSM had because I LOVE the RMM skirts. Today Mr UPS driver dropped something off...........

I had to run the other skirt over to a local body shop for a quick urethane patch job on it to fix an issue so I should have it back in a day or two.

The one in the pics are the Type-R which is really close in size and shape to the RMM so it works good as a stand in.

They pretty much run whatever you are asking. I've seen the skirts for $200 and the same for $400. The $200 skirts sell reasonably fast, the $400 skirts lay around until the seller finally moves them for $250 eventually. All the pricing game. Most people use the Lsportline or Ltuned rear with them, I chose to use the Vizage Gen II.

Paint codes.

Skirts are on! I've always felt this is what this car is really missing from the factory.

Sideskirts + stock front bumper = awkward. What are your plans for the front?

Actually the rmm sides line up with the stock front pretty well, doesn't look that awkward in real life.
I rolled around with rmm sides and stock front for a while, kinda wanted to keep it that way.

Is true. The sides are closest thing to OEM skirts you can get. They look good all by themselves in person. I'm going to scan around for an RMM front for a while and if I don't find one within maybe 4 to 6 months I'll buy another type-r lip. I don't want a huge *** lip, just a small one and those two are the smallest.

Dude you're gonna hate me
Paint on the new bumper is already starting to fade to match the paint on the car.
Might take pics this weekend if I find time
