The driver side of mine was damaged during shipping, part of the edge broke off. I would install the passenger side just to test the fitment whenever I get an email back about what should I do with the damage part. I don't want to do anything with it until I know whats going on.

Wow that sucks...But i tell you that the paint job is really really good, better than alot of body shops that I have seen for sure, color matches 100% thats for sure..REally looks like it came from the factory, I just wished my driver side fitment is better

OMG dude... i see what you mean about that big gap... did you forget to put in the last black bolt? There is one that goes right down there and pulls the whole bottom part of the skirt in... on mine, there is maybe a 2mm gap... not even noticeable... but your gap looks like what mine looked like BEFORE I put in the last black bolt... did you get the right hole??

oooooooooomg... that sucks dude... =/ Mach will for sure replace that... =/ Wait, is it painted yet? if it's not, you can probably just superglue it back on, and get your paint shop to sand it down and stuff before you paint it... it'll be fine...

[Zimo]

The paint match looked pretty good I agree. Although my car is really dirty and it was getting dark when I got my skirts, the color match loosk good still. If its sunny out tomorrow I can do a better comparison.

[skim7x]

oh jp... it's painted... yeahhhh... nm...

[cn555ic]

yes all the bolts are in place!!! the passenger side is perfect with very little gap almost not noticeable like you said 2mm the most on passenger side

[cn555ic]

I have to say that I am better than average installer and I know I did everything right, but the driver's side is off by 2mm in length and I think it offset everything else. The back of it wheel whele sideskirt is flushed and perfect...I couldn't even offset it 1mm to gain 1mm in the front

[Zimo]

So did anyone's actually installed perfect? 1-2mm is ok but it looks like the majority of the skirt is not fitting ideally.

[cn555ic]

JPsimon and Armybimmerdude is also installing it today I would think, lets see what their outcomes are!! I am still happy with the skirts and but need to find a way to cover those gaps, they are really iritating me...I am thinking maybe liquid rubber to seal those gaps!!

[skim7x]

My sideskirt lengths are just the right length... it's just a matter of bolting them down so they stay aligned =P and then, of course, the bulging-out issue, which I shall address more tomorrow...

[cn555ic]

I am wondering why JPsimon hasn't posted pics yet, unless he is doing it tomorrow...He is very similar to me, when he gets his goods, it off to the racing and nothing else really matters!! Too bad It took me the whole entire day from 1-6pm to...2 hours on the passenger and the rest of the time on the drivers side..Well see tomorrow, I will give it another to get that gap much less! Today has been a very long day!

[thisguyhere]

Skim I would like to see your updated front driver side pic. From your previous pics, it looks like yours is not aligned correctly as well

lol. I worked on mine as soon as I got home from work 7-12 am, but that included taking the stock sides out as well. After bruised fingers and long night of swearing, I didnt want to mess with it anymore. I will try again on Sunday to see what can be done. Mine doesnt actually have the bolt underneath the front section yet, because I wasnt able to align it so that the bolt would go in!

Also, what you guys mention as perfect on passenger side, although it may be acceptable, as in my case, I woudlnt say it's perfect. I don't think it's flush throughout.

Yeah, my fittment isnt' perfect yet, either... I'm going to take the sides off tomorrow and try to do some modifications to the sideskirt... a little fabricating here, a little dremel and drilling there... =P I'll post pictures up tomorrow...

I though PUR plastic doesn't break??

[skim7x]

^lol... it's resistant to breaking, yes... it's not INDESTRUCTABLE =P

[cn555ic]

I am going to use fiberglass to fill in the gaps if I have to instead of liquid rubber...that way it will look more natural when i look at the wheel whele inside where the sideskirt is suppose to meet

[MarinoB]

well actually opened up the bubble wrap just now and my drivers side is broken just like Zimo. Wonderful. So Mach we going to have to wait 3 months for replacements? Also please check your PM's regarding my wing that didnt ship. Thanks.

Hey Mach I PM'd you my # so you can call me about my broken skirt.

[Zimo]

Just tried out the passenger side, and the rear of the skirt is ok, with about 2mm bulging out. The front side of the skirt does not snap in at all. Would need to be glued for it to work, which I do not want to do. I tried to push it in to see if it'll fit, the overall fitment is still off by 1-2mm. I have the skirts inside my house since I got them so I don't know if sitting in the sun technique will do anything.

I'm going to attempt to knock out the install. This'll be the first time i've dones this.

Like you said, the paint job is fantastic. We'll just have to find out about this 2mm gap.

I'll post my own pics soon.
