Nice find.

I think I like the side skirts (called "side steps" on the site) more than the OEM SR ones.

One of the BIG downside tho, is the price!!
Those side skirts are about 800$!! and are unpainted!!

The shipping from them is expensive :S Was aware of that website since they carry parts for the Cube as well.

It would seem to me that there might be a business opportunity for a Canadian shop willing to produce parts.

However with such a small market, I wonder if it will ever happen.

Another thought: there may already be aftermarket parts production in Mexico & Central/South America for the March. Might be worth asking LROD. (Though he didn't reply to my inquiry about his side skirts.)

Know what would help the most for aftermarket stuff? If Nissan decided to sell the Micra in the States.

I kind of like the fact that they dont sell it in the states..

Anyway, most american would fit inside

Just be aware that on body kits (front and rear bumpers) that can be order from the JDM K13 such as the kit made by Impul that I think of, it might not fit the canadian K13.
Just for a exemple, the bodykits for my cube, well, the jdm ones doesn't fit because the front and rear bumper of the JDM Z12 is shorter regarding safety rules about collision with pedestrians which aren't the same as ours.

Some modifications to make them fit might be needed. Just in case some might think of getting them and might want to know before ordering one.

Good point.

E.G. the U.S./Canada Mitsubishi Mirage has a different rear bumper from the rest of the world (but the front bumper is the same).

Could you tell the difference between the Cube by looking at photos?

From pictures, you can see that the rear and front bumper of a JDM is shorter than the USDM, it look more flat I can say. From the forum I'm on, no one has ordered a JDM bodykit for their USDM cube to try it. I've said ''doesn't fit'' because no one tried and shared it on that specific forum I'm posting on. But I couldn't see why Nissan would use a different frame and such under their bumpers. I would be curious if their is a such great difference under that bumper, I haven't seen pictures of both to compare so can't tell. It would be a risk to take and see the fitment, mostly why I've put a disclaimer about theses to inform such possibilities and avoid frustration about it knowing how much can cost shipping for such a big package.
