Question Stock FD3S side skirt ?

Okay, Today I think I've seen close to 30 different forum rides...all of them without side skirts.

In Japan, all the stock FD's that I've seen came with side skirts. All the Type R FD's came with Side Skirts(that I've seen anyways). Mine came with aftermarket.

Were Side Skirts an option that was available from the Factory? Was it even an option in the U.S.?

Fill me in...I'm A-Spec Ignorant

Nope, sideskirts weren't an option from the factory.... Only mud guards I believe not that they're anything like a sideskirt. Are you sure ALL rx7's over there came with side skirts?

Yeah, and its a bitch to get JSpec side skirts over here.
The Apex'i side skirts flow with the lines and could pass as OEM (though the two look nothing alike) but I would like some real OEM J-Spec ones, I believe they are made out of rubber or something that wouldn't crack and chip going over a speed bump or something.

i was under the impression that they were an accesory on japan (never had them in the us). they are not listed in the jdm parts book.

Some of the Import guys need to get us some side skirts and some good prices.

Jason(canman6969) at JT-imports.com might be able to set something up for you.
