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.
hey Mach, yes, can you quote me a set of side skirts to Toronto?

How was this fitment issue not caught? No one has reported a perfect fit hence it should of been caught in development. I understand no aftermarket part will be OEM fit but it's certainly not advertised as 'these parts won't snap in and it's about 2mm off.

The problem is being addressed at the moment...Mach stated it would be taken cared of and those of us who have them installed already, we will be taken cared of...In fact I have mine installed already with some minor adjustments made, but I am overall happy with the product...The paint is phenomenal and matches to the tee with the rest of my car...regardless if there are issues, why are you adding fuel to the fire...The vendor has stated the problem will be taken cared of...Manufacturing plants can make mistakes you know, but based on this pic it says it all...

Yeah dude... chill out... seriously these sideskirts are sooo very close to perfect it's unbelievable... I had to do more work to my Vorsteiner bootlid to get it to fit than these sideskirts... you know what the significance of that is? Aftermarket parts aint like lego's, yo...

These took less work to fit than my old Hamann side skirts, let alone the Vorsteiner trunk. LOL~

My skirts are in the mail, but from the look of it, the install would be a piece of cake. My trunk now belongs to MyE92 (Ryan) but I think I might do a fully painted DVWP trunk during X'mas break. I'm debating that vs the 3D Design trunk spoiler. Here's my latest whoring thread in the photo forum (shows you what's happening with my car):

I just wanted to un-lock my silence. LOL. So you guys know, I was the beta tester for these side skirts and that was the reason I got them first. Like many here, I ran into fitament issues identical to what others were mentioning. I worked with M-Force a lot to make them fit and still I had the few mm short length and slight budlging in the seams. I wanted to work with M-Force to resolve the issue before posting anything on the forums. They agree there is a fitament issue and as Mach stated they are re-casting the mold. What they are doing for us is being a stand up vendor and that is the sole reason I go back to them. Like you guys, I can't stand the wait, but I want perfect fitament and nothing less, so I am willing to wait knowing they will make sure we get what we pay for.

So are you guys going to have to remove your new M3 skirts and send them back to Mach and then have them send you guys the new molded skirts? Hopefully it will not be a pain. BTW...the skirts look really good and fitment really isnt bad at all. Thumbs up to M-Force though!

I already removed the passenger side, since my driver side is damaged and I was only trying to test the fitment.

PM sent Mach
