I am getting my sides painted and installed soon. I have seen many pictures of the OEM sides and rears installed. Some pics look as if the kit pieces blend in with the rest of the car and are hard to see, while others have a distinct outline, especially noticeable on the sides where it flares up. I would prefert the look of it standing out. For those of you that have it, is it just something I am seeing on pics, or is it painted a certain way?

 

The kit itself has a thin black rubber molding type material on the side skirts where they flare up.

 

yup, my OEM side skirts have a black rubber strip about 1/4" tall. I am pretty sure the rear lips have them too, but I don't have them...

 

I have them, side and rear, It looks good with that outline specially my ITR is PY, I have seen them on CW's as well and it looks gorgeous. I guess it does not matter on NBP ITR's though.

Or FBPs! I swear FBP gets no love sometimes!

BTW, I agree, the black ouline on CW's = the hawtness.

does anyone know where i can get these rubber seals? i have both the oem sides and rear but they were taken off when i got them painted and it doesnt look very OEM without those rubber seals. some one before mentioned a hardware store but i swear i ahve been to every single hardware store in the city and nothing to match em tia

btw sorry for the thread jack

 

I believe the rubber is there to protect your paint from scratching.

Try looking at home depot or lowe's.....

 

Any other places besides home depot or lowe's? I myself have tried lowe's with no luck, unless i was looking in the wrong area. I went to the weather stripping dept.

 

I'm sure that if you don't have the black rubber on your side skirts you can get some thin weatherstripping and put it on the inside of the side skirt where it flares up. That way it won't rub on the car.
