Common Applications

The 326POWER General Purpose Lip Type III is suitable for customers who want to give an existing side step additional depth and visual presence without replacing the complete side-aero setup. Because it is a general-purpose product, it can potentially be adapted to different vehicles where the approximately 1845 mm length and mounting area are appropriate. 326POWER specifically highlights the Toyota 86 as a particularly suitable application and shows an installation example without modification. However, fitment on other vehicles—or even individual vehicles with different aftermarket side steps—should be confirmed by checking the available mounting length, side-step shape, ground clearance, and installation method.

326POWER Character

326POWER is known for low Japanese tuning builds, aggressive fitment, stance culture, and aero components designed to add visual impact around the lower body. The Type III Side Lip follows this philosophy in a relatively simple form: the flat flap-like profile adds extra visual weight beneath the side step, while the canard-style end details make the part more recognizable than a plain universal side extension.

General Purpose Type III Design Notes

The Type III is designed as an additional under spoiler rather than a replacement side step. It mounts beneath the existing factory or aftermarket side step, making it useful when the customer already likes the basic side-step shape but wants a lower and more aggressive appearance. The official 326POWER description specifically highlights the flap-like construction and the small canard-style fins located toward the front and rear fender areas.

Canard-Style Fin Design

Canard-inspired fins are positioned toward both ends of the side lip, near the areas ahead of the front and rear fenders. These details act as visual accents and break up the otherwise straight side-lip profile, adding more of the sharp Japanese tuning character associated with 326POWER. The manufacturer presents these primarily as styling details and does not publish numerical aerodynamic performance claims for them.

Approximately 1845mm Overall Length

The official manufacturer gives the overall length as approximately 1845 mm. Because this is a general-purpose component, this dimension is particularly important when evaluating fitment on vehicles other than those shown by 326POWER. Customers should compare the usable side-step length and mounting area on their vehicle before ordering.

Toyota 86 Fitment Example

326POWER specifically shows the Toyota 86 as a no-modification installation example and describes the Type III as being an especially good size for the vehicle. The Toyota 86 Late Model 3D☆STAR lineup also identifies Universal Side Lip Type III as a component used with the Side Step Type 2 configuration. This makes the Toyota 86 one of the clearest documented applications for the general-purpose Type III Side Lip.

Installation and Fitment Notes

Because this is a general-purpose aero component, customers should not assume direct fitment on every vehicle. The available side-step length, shape, mounting surface, front and rear clearance, door clearance, and ground clearance should all be checked before installation. 326POWER instructs customers to temporarily fit the product, adjust alignment and gaps, and confirm vehicle-specific fitment before painting. If mounting-hole positions are difficult to align, gradual adjustment such as elongated-hole processing may be required. The Japanese manufacturer page also notes that some installation images may show products that were modified for fitting, so the individual vehicle should always be checked before final installation.

Aero Product Notes

The Type III Side Lip is supplied unpainted in a white gel coat finish, and installation and painting are not included. The official pages reviewed do not clearly specify the underlying material of this particular product, so a specific material should not be assumed. The side lip should be inspected, test fitted, aligned, prepared, and painted only after final fitment has been confirmed. Since it installs underneath the existing side step, final ground clearance should also be checked carefully on lowered vehicles.

Important Notes

This is an authentic 326POWER Japan general-purpose aero component designed to install beneath an existing factory or aftermarket side step. It has an overall length of approximately 1845 mm and features canard-style fins near the front and rear fender areas. Although 326POWER shows a no-modification Toyota 86 installation example, this is still a general-purpose product, so fitment on other vehicles should be confirmed before ordering. The product is supplied unpainted in white gel coat finish and requires test fitting, alignment adjustment, preparation, and painting before final installation. Existing side steps, wheels, suspension components, and other aero parts shown in demo images are separate unless specifically stated otherwise. 326POWER states that the product was developed for shows and events and does not guarantee vehicle-inspection compatibility or assume responsibility for damage resulting from public-road use.
