To match the boxy body lines of the starion I'd suggest sideskirts from a first gen toyota MR2

I rekon you're on the right track with the 180sx ones.
Early silvia ones would be the right sort of shape for my liking.
Anybody have access to one of these to have a bit of a measure up?

cool, still more interested in early silvia ones,
I like the idea of them running up the doors and guards if they are reasonably close to the right size it would be easy emough to mod them to fit.

hmm i was thinking i would rather shorten them down it would be easy rather than extending them. i want the VeilSide look ones there's a place here in christchurch that makes side skirt for starion but they look to plane and alot of starion in nz have got them need to be drifferent. :wink:

I know where ya comin from mate, but if kit had shown me the skirts and spoiler he fitted before they were put on the car I would have said it would look crap.
I would have been horribly wrong!!

yep a boxy drift style suction cup kit would be a good starting point, but will obviously take more work to blend in than a simple lower skirt add on.

remember, i said round kit = fail, but yes if u can find a boxy one that's close it'd be a winner pretty easily...
