Looking good, should go very well with what I'm getting in the rear.

So I installed mine tonight, and I ran into some problems, particurlay the front driver side. It was slightly short and it did not aligned with the fender. I wiggle and adjusted as best as I can, but it was still off. During the attempt to align, it created a small 2cm hairline crack on a section of the skirt. Also the skirts were not flushed with the fenders on both sides with all screws/bolts in place. Protrusion is about 1-2mm in various sections. I guess I can try bolting just the top, let it sit in the sun for few hrs, then bolt the bottom, although I'm not sure that will do anything. On a positive note, I think the skirts makes the car look more agressive and sporty. Also the color match great. I just wished it was a better fit, but I can understand since it's a replica. Perhaps, I got a bad set? Hope you guys have better luck. Here are some pics:

haha dang man!! late-night install!!

Ahh... I actually had a similar problem... doesn't sound like my problem was quite as bad as yours... I did have the problem of part of the sideskirt jutting out 1-2mm from the rear fender... Mach actually called me directly saying that it's a side effect of shipping it and they had the exact same issue... you just have to let the sideskirts warm up with the bottom detached (as you mentioned in your post) and Mach said that this allowed for 100% fittment on their test car... I'll be doing that tomorrow.

"I guess I can try bolting just the top, let it sit in the sun for few hrs, then bolt the bottom" <-- exactly!

[thisguyhere]

yea, spent all freaking night on it...LOL I work all day everyday so night time is only free time..thus why I'm still up haha

Ummmm, can we use a hairdryer and blow on it? Weather has been really bad in NY for the pass few days and even if it is sunny out its gonna be 30 degrees F. I really doubt letting the sun shine on it, lord knows when the sun will be out, is gonna do anything in 30 degrees weather.

We've tried that and we don't recommend you use a hair dryer, if you heat it up to much you might damage the paint and you don't want to take and risks especially since it is metallic paint on a PUR surface.

When it sits under the sun directly the whole skirt is allowed to heat up causing the PUR material to be soft and you can bolt it down.

You have to understand that the pur material is able to change/mold in shape so you do not need to worry about this problem. I sent you guys all a pm regarding on how to install it. If you require any further assistance feel free to pm me

Try what I said above and if it still truely does not fit the way you want it to, please pm me and I can have things arranged or I can give you a call and you can tell me how exactly it is not fitting.

I am glad you posted this on the forum to address this issue, since we are an honest company we do not mind if it is a good or bad review. We always want our customers to know the truth!

Like I mentioned in the other posts, installation might require some past experience when installing the skirts so please be patient with it. Of course it is still a replica, but we take great pride to make the best fitting products as possible. Hence why we have sold so many splitters, spoilers, lips without many having coming back to us.

If this is a major problem, we will take care of it. It's how we do business, customer service and best fitting products.

Now I just hope that PJ will be better so he can be back checking the forums with me.
Our new website should be up soon too~!

Preciseeye the front looks really bad, Skim7x didn't look that bad at all...It looks like the front isn't really even installed at the bottom....I think Mach is right about the skirt having to warm up....

[ArmyBimmerDude]

Got mine! I'll unwrap them in a little bit. Need to do some boyfriend stuff first. lol

So I am doing the driver's side fix-up today... I took out all of the bottom bolts and the car has been out in the sun starting at 12:30PM... I'll let it sit until about 3:30pm when it starts to get cooler... right now the weather is VERY sunny at 64 degrees F. With the bottom bolts out, the sideskirt fits perfectly flushwith the body... lets hope it stays there when I bolt on the bottom!

Please check PM, full payment sent. please confirm.

Received the m3 side skirts couple hours ago but the tip of the rear of one of the side is broken off. The color match looks good, but it is getting dark so I can't tell for 100%. Mach I sent you an email with the photo of what the damage looks like from my phone. Please contact me asap.

I also had the same problem as you...The passenger side fitment was spot on, but the driver's side was also 2mm short and from the looks of the pics there is also the same gap and its not meeting the original plastic cover in the wheel whele...I tried heating it up and nothing....Hey Mach I have been working with the driver's side to make it line up for over 4 hours and I can't regardless of what I do it won't fit on right...Passenger side is spot on! I don't think heating it up will do the trick as far as stretching length wise...As far as the paint goes, its absolutely perfect and dead on

[MarinoB]

Ill be putting them on tomorrow night...so busy at work today i didnt even unwrap them to look at them.
Mach you got a PM

I am in the process of loading them, but I have the driver's side on, but I am not happy with the front part fitting in terms of it being short and not bending into the fender...there is too big of a gap to the plastic interior fender wall and side skirt...the other side is perfect

I know exactly how you feel man...it's confirmed that it wasn't just my set then.

[cn555ic]

[cn555ic]
