Elliot Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I just wanted a few questions cleared up on the Toyota sideskirts you get on some Supes. 1) How do you tell if they're original? Is there a stamp on there somewhere? 2) Are the originals by (or made of) OEM? 3) What does OEM stand for? 4) What are the originals made of? I've heard plastic, anything more specific? 5) What alternatives are there? I've heard of fibreglass, and poly-urethane. Just a few questions he says!! Any info would be appreciated Elliot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 I'm guessing now, but is OEM 'optional extra e****'? Someone put me out of my misery / spare me the embaressment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 1) Plastic flex's easily...fibreglass doesn't. The back of the plastic original ones will be smooth, but the fibreglass copies are likely to show fibre material. 2) Originals are plastic (ABS I think) 3) The only mass produced options are fibreglass other than the original plastic ones...however Stillen make a set of urethane ones which is even better at taking a hit.

eldudereno Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 As far as I know the OEM versions are made from a black resin which is much more flexible than some of the copies which are made from fibreglass. ha ha, beaten to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 I've just been down to check them out, but I can't get underneath to the back to check the colour or whether there's fibreglass poking out. They're connected to some sort of undertray 'thingymagiggy' so I can't feel if they're smooth or not. When I've got more time, I'll park on a kerb or something so I can get under there. Good news is they flex fine, so hopefully they're OEM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
