so as the title above states, i am looking into some side skirts for my sedan, and i was cutting up a cordoba but it didnt come out good, so i scrapped that project and is now looking for some nice 4door skirts, nothing too 2dumb 2serious but something clean and nice. i was wondering if the 93+ corollas would be the same size but i am not to sure and i know people on TN is very knowledgeable about this stuff. now if anyone has a nice pair of skirts on their cars can they share the info and some pics? because i saw a nice 4dr sedan ae92 today in town and that guy had some skirts that looked like the shy guy lip kit from the 98-02 corollas. again thanks in advance.

Sentra B13 sideskirts will work. Not sure about the 93+ Corolla sideskirts though, but I could measure mine for you if you like. The only 7th Gen Corolla that came with factory sideskirts was the JDM BZ Touring wagon (both pre-facelift and facelift). The 8th Gen Corolla sideskirts fit the 7th Gen however, so if your 6th Gen is relatively the same length as a 7th Gen then that might be an option. Although I have a feeling that the 7th Gen sill is longer than the 6th Gen. Other than that, you could just measure your bottom sill and hit the junkyards in search of models (not just Toyotas) that are relatively the same length.
Here's a pic of the Sentra B13 sideskirts that I mentioned earlier:

@Kiwi, I'll be looking for the B13 skirts I need money right now, though. 2011 has been kicking my ass ever since the first day. My car is currently dead (timing belt died, now the water pump install is being a pain).
The AE92 sedans actually had factory side skirt options! I've seen it somewhere online before.
But you can also use the side skirts off an AE92 GTS. You'll just have to mod the small rear pieces to accomodate for the rear doors... or vice versa if you don't want the rear doors to open.

Nice! Hope you can find some. I like the design of the B13 sideskirts. Very clean and OEM-looking. Sorry to hear about your car. I saw your post about the water pump earlier. Hope you can get everything sorted ASAP.
Good to know that the AE92 sedans had sideskirts as a factory option. I don't even think that the JDM AE92 Corolla GT had sideksirts, even as an option. All of the ones I've seen here have been 'bare'. The hatchback JDM AE92 FX-GT had them, but they flared up on the rear (much like the GTS skirts).

It's been freezing; I have no garage And as of right now, there's an inch of sleet and freezing rain which won't stop for another 10 hours maybe. My next possible free day to spend time with it would be Wednesday or Thursday.
About the side skirts, I can't find the pic of the ones I saw.... But there was two I saw, one was on a red AE92. I may have posted it on another website.
Here's one I just found, although not clear but you can see it:
b13 sentras huh? hrm now thats the 90-93s rite? ima start looking for them it looks really clean
and the ae92 gts skirts are a pain i ruined one set already trying to cut and fiberglass, at the end i didnt like it, i mean i was looking at the jblood for the ae86 and i know the 86 can use the ae92 skirts so theyll prolly be around the same length....
also on the b13 skirts they dont need to be modded? or is there still need for cutting and fiberglassing?

Yep, according to Wikipedia, they were made from 1991-1994. Not sure if the B13 sideskirts need to be modified to fit, but judging by the pic, it looks like it would bolt straight on as the sides seem to be untouched. I'll try and find a way for you to contact the original owner.
These are the only other photos I have of them fitted to a Corolla unfortunately:
I was looking around on CarDomain for you earlier and came across a guy using an 8th Gen front bumper on his 6th Gen. It also appears that he's using the 8th Gen sideskirts too. You can view his page by clicking here.
Here's a side on pic showing the sideskirts:

Haha, no problem man, glad to help . I'd suggest keeping an eye on the marketplace at zerotohundred.com. I had a search and there were some listed on there back in 2007, but I'm sure one of the Nissan parts guys on there will have some sort of connection. I'll definitely take you up on that offer if I'm in SoCal
Still haven't been able to find the original owner of the white Corolla, but I haven't given up yet. I actually came across more AE92's and even an AE101 with the B13 sideskirts. Flick me a PM and I'll send you a link to get in contact with each of them
Here's the unresized pics (the first one has a JDM GT-Z front end conversion) -
AE101:
And some photos of the Sentra B13 with the sideskirts on:

Yeah it does look rather funny on the 6th Gen. I prefer the original bumper really. The interior on the white car is from an AE92 FX-GT (known as the GTi in Europe). The JDM Sprinter/Cielo had the same interior if I remember correctly. The base models had crappy vinyl/fabric upholstery. It sucks that the US missed out on a lot of good parts, but there's always the option to import them and make your Corolla that much more unique
EDIT: Managed to find the contact details for the guy who had the white AE92. Click here to view the original listing and you can choose whether to PM him or send him an email

No problem at all . Wish I could help you out with the B13 sideskirts, but we didn't even get the B13 Sentra here. We got the N13 Pulsar, but they looked different and I've never seen any with sideskirts. Although even if we did get the B13 here, it would cost an absolute fortune to send the sideskirts as they'd be over 1050mm, which is the maximum length you can send on NZ Post, so they'd be classed as an 'oversized parcel'. I can send smaller parts (mostly JDM) such as headlights, tail lights, grilles, steering wheels etc however
EDIT: Also, just so you know, apparently the B13 front lip fits straight onto the AE92 as well. So if you find the sideskirts then perhaps you could get the front lip too. Or you could just get it from this guy, if it's still available:
if i was to purchase a wagon front or a levin front (lights and grill) how much would that cost me? could you do me a rough estimate if you were to come up on one at the junk yard and i was to purchase it and etc? this isnt for now, but just a rough estimate if you could kiwi and its good, i will give you some buisness in the near future. i want my car looking very nice before TORC this year.

It's very difficult to give you a price as I wouldn't be able to get them from a junkyard. AE92 Levins are getting a lot rarer these days, and typically only wreckers stock the parts as they're willing to pay a lot more for the shell than junkyards are. The price could range anywhere from $150 NZD ($116 USD) to $500 NZD ($387 NZD). It all depends on the wrecker I go to and how willing they are to budge on their price. PM me when you're wanting to get some and I'll try my hardest to get you the best possible price in town
