waiting to hear from army and jp. Since I need to get replacement on mine anyway, I can wait till they figure out what is wrong with the fitment before they send me my replacement.
I don't mind the wait, I just want the fitment to be at least next to perfect.

we ran into the same weather warp issues.. its 25-30° over here right now.. so its not very surprising. Leaving the car out in the sun won't do anything for me, and i don't feel like messing with a heater or anything like that. I'm just gonna go to a local body shop and have them make it fit perfectly.
Paint is 100% spot on, fitment needs a little help on the rear. I'll take better pics tomorrow with a real camera: (the rest of my car is filthy, so the paint might look off. But it really is perfect) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Just got back from my body shop to fix the driver's side..The front of the skirt we heated it up with a heat gun making careful not to ruin the paint until it bent as much as possible to leave a minimal gap with the plastic fender wall...Next we used some 50/50 bond with mesh to cover the hole that was still present and i wanted it to be totally seamless like before with the OEM ones...Next I sanded it down to a smooth finish and sprayed flat black to blend in with the rest of the plastic fender wall...It came out perfect with no gap whatsover...People at the shop were amazed how nice the skirts looked and really amazed that it was already painted when shipped that way...I have to say that I am really happy with the skirts....They make the car look amazing...These M-force skirts make the car look so perfect and smooth and the paint is out of this world as far as looking OEM compared to the rest of the paint on the car....On the side note, I realize that any aftermarket part needs some kind of tweaking especially on such a big part size...The passenger side was pretty spot on as far as fitment goes...All in all, I have to say M-Force came out with a really nice product, as far as total fitment goes, I guess its up to the individual to make that call....After spending alittle more time to install these than I thought it would take becasue of the tweaking and filling the fender lining hole, I would still buy these skirts from them because the OEM M3 skirts are much more involved to make it fit than these are. I heard the OEM ones need to be cut and reshaped to fit E92/E93..So thanks again to Mach and all his help! Here are the pics of the front of the sideskirt of both sides...Anyone thinking about these should realize that it doesn't get better than this....Every single bolt, clip, you name it was re-installed back into the car! I am kind of anal like that, what ever was taken off from OEM, I made sure every single hardware was used to the new skirts including the bolts in the rear fender wheel whele!!!

Just the skirt itself I can quote you a price shipped to Canada.
Regarding the fitment, we will fix this problem for sure. That means even opening a new mold if we have to! Let me gather some more information and send it to the office for them to do an analysis on the problem. You 7 guys who are having fitment issues, do not worry we will take care of you for sure. I will be sending you guys pm's later on this week. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience. |

Thanks! How did you fair with your set of skirts? Install went as planned? Show some pics! As for the suspension on it, I am thinking about it, but with my old E30, E36 lowered it scrap more often than I thought it would, so I am little hesitant..Don't know maybe in the summer, I will drop her!
