I need Navan side skirts...trying not to break down to get the Forceworkz one and find a OEM one...but price point is so tempting.

front's are urathane, which is a big bonus, why they didn't make side skirts out of urathane as well, idk..
I mean...if it was urathane side skirts, i would have bought it already, quiet tired of fiberglass side skirts after 7 years.

Whats wrong with fiberglass sideskirts? Especially with oem style skirts, you will rarely ever scrape them or damage them. As long as they fit right and arent wavy I dont see an issue.

I know Forcewerkz Navan reps front bumper is urethane and that justifies it's cost to me. I was referring to that $500 entire Navan kit referenced above, probably not being urethane at that price. I would definitely hold out ofr the urethane kit.

Had purchased forcewerkz navan front, sides, and kouki rear valence last year, fitment on the front bumper was damn near perfect. Also sides and rear where pretty close as well. Definitely would have been happy with them if I hadn't chosen to go with a different look for my caruploadfromtaptalk1439302506906.jpg

I hope I don't have to explain why I would much prefer having a urathane side skirts over fiberglass side skirts.

Lol i understand a preferance, but not a need. Besides, I dont think i have to point out the initial flaw of the oem navan skirts cracking at the ends which dont really seem like an advantage to me..

I have brand new OEM Navan sideskirts. I'm a heavy supporter of OEM products in general, but they did screw us over on how brittle these fucking things are.
I'm probably going to stick with Kouki sideskirts and swap on the Navan skirts every now and then. |

Lee,
I know how it feels, hahaha! I had JDM skirts for some quite time in storage and ended up not running them because I decided to stick with FPR. However, I know if I ever wanted to go JDM aero again, I would purchase forcewerkz. In reality to me, I rather have a urethane front bumper because FPR skirts and rear will relatively be cheaper. If you want, you can always buy them later and sell the FPR ones!

Just giving my honest opinion and review on the P/U front bar. It fits up fine, matches up to the fender well. However, the bottom portion of the bumper is where the issues are. If you observe, it just looks off. Also, the driver side flap flares outwards. These are common issues that were addressed by other forum members, and I don't know if Forcewerkz decided to fix them in more recent moulds. It is recommended by Forcewerkz themselves to let the P/U bumper sit in the sun so that it reforms into its original shape (I received the bumper in a compact box, and the bumper was literally folded onto itself).
In this picture here, you can see that the bumper has sort of an "overbite" which OEM navan does not (or at least not as extreme). You can also examine that the bumper sags a bit. I have the bumper bolted on with OE bolts at OE locations. I believe the polyurethane is just so soft that it droops down. Take what you want of this information, just thought I'd share. OE navan (less overbite) Apologies for the photo dump of this unfinished vehicle. *I miss it* Last edited by DomChan; 08-12-2015 at 02:31 AM.. |

like dom said, you can tell it's not OE perfect under the microscope, but there aren't any horror stories of cutting and sanding and heat guns, etc. edit; me too. seems like you always had something cool going on with that thing. |

Heat and bend PAST the desirable position, hold it in place, then hit it with the cold rag. Repeat until desired shape is achieved. My Z33's PU skirts were twisted up like twizzlers, took forever to get them right lol. I'd take it over working with fiberglass any day though.
