140 is still a great deal... their work are top notch. Oem sideskirt paint sucks... the paint does not match. You see what i mean if you buy them.

On top of that there is one thing they do that I haven't seen anyone else do with success.

Most companies do not paint the rubber seal that is black. The factory one is silver.

They paint there to match...no stupid seems. it is worth the $140 by a ton.


They are sanded down to smooth. Primered. Painted. Cleared. I drove mine all winter...scraping them off ice ridges several times and did a couple of dirt runs and have not one scratch on mine.

the original group just got really lucky with pricing. That's why 30 of us went in for it.

you can keep your car, just take off your sideskirts. as for the process, it should be sanding down of the complete sidskirt ( i use 400 grit and under then i resand with 1500 grit to get a smoother texture. Then it should be prepared eith an adhesion promoter (i use a dupont plastic prep) then it should be primered and sanded again, then painted, then add clearcoat. then it can be wet sanded to rid of imperfections. when i paint skirts, it takes a day to do, then a day to dry. so a total of 2 days max.
