Well since not every car comes with side skirts, or has aftermarket support for body kits, doesn’t mean they are not an option. My car doesn’t have any support in the way of skirts so I am looking for a set myself. Since side skirts aren’t that complex of a part, like a front lip or bumper with curves, they are some what interchangeable. They usually need very little modification to make them fit another car, trim them in legnth a little, or find a way to mount them. All you need to do is find a set that suits your taste and is close to the right size. So I figured I’d start this thread so we can all post the size of our wheel bases and get an idea what skirts will fit which car.

Just because they don’t make stealth style corners for your car doesn’t mean you can’t have them. If you have a separate corner light then chance are it can be done. This may not work for everybody, but this is the best meathod I found of doing it.This write up may also be used to make blacked out headlights as well

Ok this is a pretty complex project and it’s not for everyone. The first thing I recommend you do is get an extra set of headlight so you have plenty of time to work on it, and you don’t destroy your only set of headlight. Not every retrofit will be the same, some things I did on mine may not work with yours. My write-up is meant to be a guide, and not a specific how-to.

The first step is obvious, you need to separate the lenses from the headlight so you can figure out how everything is going to work. With my car it was easy, the lenses were held in using butle rubber. To remove it I turned on the oven in the kitchen to 150-200* and set the lights inside to heat up. I gave them about 10 minutes ( make sure you keep an eye on them) for the rubber to warm up and then I began to pry them apart. There were locking tabs on the bottom of the light, so I had to lift them over the tabs and SLOWLY I pried the lenses off. Now this is how I got my lenses off, I have heard of many people having to cut their lenses off with a dremal because it was bonded to the housing. It’s up to you to figure out how to remove yours.

This is the procedure I used to make a sport style grill for my Infiniti G20. It will work for all cars with a separate or chrome grill, but the process may vary depending on the car. This should help you get the basic idea how to go about making one for yourself.

Its a good Idea to get an extra grill before attempting this. I got mine from a junk yard on line. The first time I tried this I broke the grill because I was in a rush. So take your time!

tools and suppies
jig saw or Dremal
Body filler
Mesh screening

I wanted a spoiler for the rear window similar to the ones that the BMW and Mercedes guys had, but as we all know there not made for every car. I decided to make one myself similar to the style I saw made for VW’s by a company called Wet Works Garage. It basically looks like the same thing that came factory on the BMW trunks. I searched on ebay and I was able to get an aftermarket one for around $25 made for the 90-96 BMW 3 series. This worked out to be the best spoiler for the modification.
