Default Help with side skirts

For those who have the L-sportline or L-tuned side skirts can you tell me how much lower they are than the stock side skirts? And also the how well they fit and where is a good place to get them from? Thanks

PM GSTrance and see if he still has the measurements. I know he asked members to find out this exact information about a year ago. This is an image he put together for that measurement.



I'd also recommend Carson Toyota for the skirts.

Thanks for the help. I am leaning more towards the L-sportline side skirts as they seem to be a little lower than the L-tuned and I dont want to have to purchase the whole L-tuned kit, since I already have the win kit. The problem I have with the Win side skirts is they are just too low. They are lower than both the front and rear bumper and I dont really like the way it looks. I like the way the L-sportline looks. Any other suggestions on side skirts from different companies that might look good with the win kit? I have a pm to supratrd to see if he can get the L-sportline sideskirts. Thanks again for the help.

Where would I be able to get the L-sportline side skirts at and how much am I looking at spending on them? Are they good quality?

rich you are on the right track, I think the Ltuned would be to moderate for the aggressive WIN bumpers. The Ltuned is a good bit lower than stock at the ends, but in the middle, its contoured up, so its maybe just a 1/2-1" lower than stock in the middle

Lsportline is good quality, a pain in the **** for fittment, but good quality

Hey D thanks for the help. I like the L-sportline sides look. They are pretty similar to the Win sides just a little bit shorter. Why is the Lsportline fitment a pain? Will there be a lot of modification to them to fit the car?

most fitment issues with l-sportline were with the rear and front bumpers, but a good body shop should b able 2 fix anything...the l-sport roof spoiler has a small gap on each side which isn't that noticalbe unless u'r looking 4 it i got mine from carson toyota aswell...check with them on the side skirts i think they should have them in stock

Just got the L-sportline roof spoiler and mine came too long. I would probably need to sand down the sides to make it fit on there.

thanks guys for all the help. I just got the info from steve so I am probably going to order from him. I think I am going to go with the L-sportline sides as they appear lower than the ltuned.
