There are a lot of owners who have installed the 02+ side skirts on their car. Here are a couple shots of mine.
Thanks for posting this, as seems like 02+ Side skirts is a MUST on my car, yet, I see some, but not really that much difference to justify the price! 
WOW, that is a ridiculously good looking black nSX

I agree! Nice car Chris!
Ive been told the OEM quality is way better than the downforce.... not sure if thats true or not... but the guy that told me that was selling downforce skirts so that has to account for something.
And they look great on the pre 02 cars with pop up lights.

Nothing can match OEM fitment. I got a deal on my OEM skirts, but it still was expensive and well worth it. I got tired of trying to get my Stacy's skirts to fit perfect they way I wanted them to fit. Downforce has great fitment for an aftermarket part, but OEM is so perfect and easy. All I did was get them painted, then installed them myseld in about 15 minutes. If you are going with the 02+ look, just get OEM. The OEM door inserts are also a much better fit and option vs aftermarket.
As for materials quality, OEM is made from the same poly propylene plastic as the original side skirts so you can't beat that. Downforce is fiberglass. Nothing wrong with fiberglass as it is easy to work with and repair.

I have used both DF and OEM. Go OEM if your not on a budget. The DF are ok as to fitment. I would rate a 8-8.5 out of 10 if you have a good batch. I have seen a few with issues in gapping and the front fender portion flaring away from the fender. The door caps all seem to have small pits from molding process which is an easy fix. If your body man can correct the small issues with the DF then other than type of material IE: FRP to Poly Plastic then I don't see no issue with installing the DF. The tab portions on the inner part of the DF was my main concern but filing them to fit the mounting tabs did not take to long.

You can't go wrong with 02+ OEM or Stacy style in my opinion. I must say I prefer having the door piece though.
Downforce gets the job done, just make sure they are fitted first so any issues can be fixed before installation:
DF sideskirts, OEM front bumper and rear valence.

OEM's
Anyone have a close up of the Downforce door inserts? particularly the front. When I had my Stacy's, the fiberglass door inserts where not the exact same shape as the OEM. The OEM has kind of a flare contour to the front edge while my Downforce ones where just basically straight. I like the OEM door inserts better. Just wondering if I had an old design or if that is still the way it is.
