My theory is that cetain sideskirts that will fit the coupe will fit the sedan.

whoever reads this first, please measure the side of your car. when you report the lenth, include whether your car is a coupe or sedan.

thanks all!!!

thanks for your opinion hote, but thats not what I asked for the sedan and coupe are based on the same frame so why wouldnt the sides be the same length?

the side on a sedan is 74 inches approximately

First off there is no frame, its a unibody, secondly many cars build on the same platform have different dimensions, is 330, 330ci(coupe is actually slightly longer), eclipse, sebring(eclipse is actually 3 or so inches shorter if I remember)
that doesnt really answer your question but its too cold to go measure but an educated guess would tell me no it wont work.

i measured it before and they have the same length but some sideskirts will fit.i say some because if you take a look at the kaminari one its designed to curve at the end of the door(leanth of 2 door coupe).by the way i have a sedan.

Yo Flex, I remember reading in a few threads where someone was saying that the Xenon kit fits both coupes and sedans... might want to do a search to find the exact one... I'm pretty sure though...

I think I read somewhere that the OEM sideskirts will fit both as well, but I could be wrong so don't quote me on that. btw, I have a sedan.

The area between the front fender and rear fender (for sideskirts) is 74" exactly- I just measured.
Flex- don't be a biatch, not everyone here is useless, just most....
Everyone else- answer the actual question or don't reply

Erebuni sells the Xenon kit for Sedans on the web site. I think that's the only popular body kit made for a sedan, and the VIS racing one. That kit is dope

Sooooo does that mean we can use coupe body kits for the car? If so, I'd wanna get my hands on some OEM Coupe Side Skirts because 01 Inca Pearls Ride is just so clean with that kit.

i finally went out and measured, its around 76 inches from the back of the front wheel well to the front of the back wheel well of my ex coupe. thats not a really accurate number, but it shouldnt be off by more than an inch, it wasnt that easy to measure in the dark and cold without any help
