Do my non-Sport side skirts make my car look Weak? Should I buy Sports?

I've never thought that there is much difference between the Sport and non-Sport skirts but in every picture I take if feels like something is missing. I actually like the non-Sport bumper on VR cars but feel like the lack of Sport skirts might make the sides look a bit light and weak. What do you guys think, would it be worth the $450 to get the Sport skirts or is there not enough difference to matter?

Thanks but $450 comes painted, I don't think I could beat that buying IP and having them painted.

Go with the side skirts. It will flow from front to rear with better lines. Pick up Weiboy's and get them painted. Cheaper than OEM. You could even add mud flaps to terminate the ends behind the rear wheels.

BTW, your car is clean! Nice job on it so far.

I'd change the front bumper first that makes your car look "weaker" than the sides IMO. I have a sport and don't even remember what the sports sides look like compared to the non-sport, but that front gotta go.

Once you put the sport bumper, you will DEFINITELY feel as if something is missing. Get the sport sides, and rear mudguards then it will be complete. I should have a sport bumper for sale soon.

Thanks for the replys..I actually prefer the non-sport bumper in red. Had to replace it last year and stuck with the non. I'm not really asking about the bumper, just the skirts but thanks.

How are you getting the sides for $450 painted?? I'm interested in a set as well. I ask this question everyday when I walk to my car because I definitely feel that the sides are necessary to give it that more sporty look...

Side skirts come pre-painted from the factory when you order the part. Any Infiniti parts site has them listed at around $225 for left or right side.

Exactly, to be completely honest I didn't know there was a difference in the skirts? I thought it was just the splash guards?
