Side Skirts
Side Skirts
Side skirts, also called side rocker extensions, run along the lower edge of the body between the front and rear wheel arches. They extend and sharpen the car's lower line. Chicane Australia stocks side skirts, side skirt extensions and matching rear bumper skirts from APR Performance, Dinan, Seibon and Spoon Sports. Most are made from carbon fibre, and there is an FRP option for the Honda Civic Type R (FL5). This range sits within our Exterior and Aero category.

Choosing the Right Part
Side skirts are shaped to one body, so match the listing to your exact model, chassis code and year range.
- Chassis code: parts are listed by chassis. Examples include Honda Civic Type R FL5, BMW M3 G80, Toyota GR Supra A90/A91, Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk8, Nissan GT-R R35, Porsche 991.1/991.2 GT3 and Porsche 981 Cayman GT4.
- Year range: body changes between model years affect fitment. Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ parts for 2013–2021 are listed separately from Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ 2022+. Some 86 rear bumper skirts are split again into 2013–2016 and 2017–2021. Subaru WRX/STI parts cover 2015–2021, and Nissan GT-R R35 parts cover 2017–2022.
- Material: most options here are carbon fibre from APR Performance, Dinan and Seibon. The Spoon Sports S-TAI side skirts for the Civic Type R (FL5) are made from FRP.
- Style: some brands offer named styles, such as Seibon MB-Style and TA-Style. Parts from the same style range can be combined for a matched look.
- Set contents: some listings are a full left and right set, while others are front or rear extensions only. Check each listing to see what is included.
Installation & What You'll Need
Installation by a professional is recommended. Side skirts need to be aligned carefully along the sill and secured properly so they stay in place at speed.
- Check each product listing for kit contents and any included mounting hardware before you start.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific vehicle.
- Side skirts and extensions sit low on the body, so think about ground clearance for driveways, kerbs and speed humps.
